How to work with camera in cordova?

Question

Angular

Good time. For a week now I have been struggling with the problem of using the camera in a non-native application for android. I am using cordova as api.
Question. How to get a photo from the camera and then get the data url of this photo?
PS I tried to implement it using ngCordova, the camera opens, takes a picture, and then nothing.
Maybe someone has a working code, please share.

Answer 1

If we are talking about the plugin https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera.
The code from the documentation works for me:

navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
});

function onSuccess(imageData) {
    var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
    image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

Accordingly, in onSuccess, you can do whatever you want with imageData. There it is substituted with the src parameter to the image.
