Ability to take a picture / capture image from camera

[loufeliz]

Hello,

I am working on an app and the user has asked about the ability to capture a photo. The app is used in the field and users enter information, but sometimes they also take a picture of the item (A receipt, a photo, a biz card etc...) as evidence and would like my app to just have ability to capture the photo form camera directly and not have to attach it via file-upload.

This would be used in a mobile phone app or a normal app running on a tablet/phablet.

Anyway, this would be a really cool ability to have in CGDevTools (Even if it required me to pay an addtional - nominal fee < us$100 to a another party for deployment)

Cheers!

Hi loufeliz,

We have modified the jquery upload plugin to support the html5 attribute "capture".

changelog:

Code: Select all

2.3.0.35

JQMFileUpload
- Added: property "Capture" - indicates that the capture of media directly from the device's environment using a media capture mechanism is preferred.

It's mean, that you can do it without any 3rd party libraries.

Please, check here the browser support:

Section: HTML Media Capture

Best Regards.
