So, our camera API doesn't have error codes. Per the docs, it returns a string [1]. Gnarly.
The strings are also all different across platforms. Android [2] and iOS [3] (search for "error"). For extra-good times, BlackBerry-webworks-java [4] does not ever return an error, except in the case where the file is deemed "too big" [5]. So, if the camera app is closed, we don't return an error code back to the user for this platform, which is different from iOS + Android. BlackBerry-webworks-air registers JS-based callbacks using the BB HTML5 transport API [6]. Unfortunately I can't find documentation about what kind of parameters are passed into the error callbacks (anyone from RIM help me out?). Finally, if the camera is closed, no callback gets invoked either [7], which is at odds with Android + iOS. BlackBerry 10 implementation [8] no-ops the onCancel and onInvoke callbacks as well, which again, is at odds. --- Proposal: add error codes.
