Remco Haszing created CB-9819:
---------------------------------
Summary: navigator.camera.getPicture returns a base64 string, not
a data url.
Key: CB-9819
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9819
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin Camera
Reporter: Remco Haszing
Priority: Minor
When calling {{navigator.camera.getPicture}} with {{destinationType}} set to
{{Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL}}, the success function is called with the
base64 encoded data. [RFC2397|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397] specified the
data url should have the following format:
{code}data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>{code}
I would expect the data to be passed in this format, when a {{DATA_URL}} format
is requested.
The example in the README handles this _"bug"_
{code:javascript}
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);
}
{code}
Instead I suggest the following options:
* base64 encoded:
{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.BASE64_ENCODED
});
function onSuccess(imageData) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}
function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
{code}
* data url:
{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
});
function onSuccess(imageData) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
image.src = imageData;
}
function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
{code}
