Can anyone tell me, or point me in the direction of how to get an image from the phone's image gallery in Phonegap / Android? There's docs on accessing the camera (which works great) but not selecting an existing image.
I'm looking for Phonegap / Javascript rather than Java.
Thanks in advance!
Erm, the Camera docs cover this. Is this not working for you? Check out Camera.PictureSourceType for details. The docs site givens this example for deriving an image thus:
function getPhoto(source) {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: source });
}
sourceType is the crucial bit here. It can be Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA (the default), or more useful for you it can be Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY or Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM.
