- Add the plugin ID and version to the config.xml.
<gap:plugin name="com.performanceactive.plugins.camera" />

- Call the plugin from JavaScript. The API is similiar to the Phonegap provided API but currently lacking some of its features.
navigator.customCamera.getPicture(filename, success, failure, [ options ]);
| Parameter |
Description |
| filename |
The filename to use for the captured image - the file will be stored in the local application cache. Note that the plugin only returns images in the JPG format. |
| success |
A callback which will be executed on successful capture with the file URI as the first parameter. |
| error |
A callback which will be executed if the capture fails with an error message as the first parameter. |
| options |
An optional object specifying capture options. |
| Option |
Default Value |
Description |
| quality |
100 |
The compression level to use when saving the image - a value between 1 and 100, 100 meaning no reduction in quality. |
| targetWidth |
-1 |
The target width of the scaled image, -1 to disable scaling. |
| targetHeight |
-1 |
The target height of the scaled image, -1 to disable scaling. |
Setting both targetWidth and targetHeight to -1 will disable image scaling. Setting both values to positive integers will scale the image to that exact size which may result in distortion. If the aspect ratio should be respected, supply only the targetWidth or targetHeight and the other will be set based on the aspect ratio.
navigator.customCamera.getPicture(filename, function success(fileUri) {
alert("File location: " + fileUri);
}, function failure(error) {
alert(error);
}, {
quality: 80,
targetWidth: 120,
targetHeight: 120
});
