Camera

The camera plugin only works in phonegap mode (configured via settings.js) and requires this plugin be installed:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera
cordova plugin save

DrupalGap has built in support for image fields provided by Drupal Core. Otherwise, you can manually invoke the camera using the following techniques:

Camera Buttons

HTML

// Open camera.
var html = bl('My camera', null, {
    attributes: {
      'data-icon': 'camera',
      'data-iconpos': 'right',
      onclick: 'my_module_camera_click()'
    }
});

// Photo library.
var html = bl('My photos', null, {
    attributes: {
      'data-icon': 'grid',
      'data-iconpos': 'right',
      onclick: 'my_module_photos_click()'
    }
});

Render Arrays

var content = {};

// Open library.
content['camera'] = {
  theme: 'button_link',
  text: t('My camera'),
  path: null,
  attributes: {
    'data-icon': 'camera',
    'data-iconpos': 'right',
    onclick: 'my_module_camera_click()'
  }
};

// Photo library.
content['photos'] = {
  theme: 'button_link',
  text: t('My photos'),
  path: null,
  attributes: {
    'data-icon': 'grid',
    'data-iconpos': 'right',
    onclick: 'my_module_photos_click()'
  }
};

Open Camera

function my_module_camera_click() {
  try {
    navigator.camera.getPicture(

      // Success
      function(imageURI) {
        drupalgap_toast(t('Picture saved!'));
      },

      // Error
      function(message) { console.log(message); },

      // Settings
      {
        quality: drupalgap.settings.camera.quality,
        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI
      }

    );
  }
  catch (error) {
    console.log('my_module_camera_click - ' + error);
    }
}

Open Photo Library

function my_module_photos_click() {
  try {
    navigator.camera.getPicture(

      // Success
      function(imageURI) { },

      // Error
      function(message) { console.log(message); },

      // Settings
      {
        quality: drupalgap.settings.camera.quality,
        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
      }

    );
  }
  catch (error) {
    console.log('my_module_photos_click - ' + error);
  }
}
