+- `NSCameraUsageDescription` describes the reason that the app accesses the user’s camera.
+- `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` describes the reason the app accesses the user's photo library.

+## Sample: Take Pictures, Select Pictures from the Picture Library, and Get Thumbnails <a name="sample"></a>
+
+The Camera plugin allows you to do things like open the device's Camera app and take a picture, or open the file picker and select one. The code snippets in this section demonstrate different tasks including:
+
+* Open the Camera app and [take a Picture](#takePicture)
+* Take a picture and [return thumbnails](#getThumbnails) (resized picture)
+* Take a picture and [generate a FileEntry object](#convert)
+* [Select a file](#selectFile) from the picture library
+* Select a JPEG image and [return thumbnails](#getFileThumbnails) (resized image)
+* Select an image and [generate a FileEntry object](#convert)
+
+## Take a Picture <a name="takePicture"></a>
+
+Before you can take a picture, you need to set some Camera plugin options to pass into the Camera plugin's `getPicture` function. Here is a common set of recommendations. In this example, you create the object that you will use for the Camera options, and set the `sourceType` dynamically to support both the Camera app and the file picker.
+
+```js
+function setOptions(srcType) {
+    var options = {
+        // Some common settings are 20, 50, and 100
+        quality: 50,
+        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
+        // In this app, dynamically set the picture source, Camera or photo gallery
+        sourceType: srcType,
+        encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
+        mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
+        allowEdit: true,
+        correctOrientation: true  //Corrects Android orientation quirks
+    }
+    return options;
+}
+```
+
+Typically, you want to use a FILE_URI instead of a DATA_URL to avoid most memory issues. JPEG is the recommended encoding type for Android.
+
+You take a picture by passing in the options object to `getPicture`, which takes a CameraOptions object as the third argument. When you call `setOptions`, pass `Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA` as the picture source.
+
+```js
+function openCamera(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        displayImage(imageUri);
+        // You may choose to copy the picture, save it somewhere, or upload.
+        func(imageUri);
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+Once you take the picture, you can display it or do something else. In this example, call the app's `displayImage` function from the preceding code.
+
+```js
+function displayImage(imgUri) {
+
+    var elem = document.getElementById('imageFile');
+    elem.src = imgUri;
+}
+```
+
+To display the image on some platforms, you might need to include the main part of the URI in the Content-Security-Policy `<meta>` element in index.html. For example, on Windows 10, you can include `ms-appdata:` in your `<meta>` element. Here is an example.
+
+```html
+<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' data: gap: ms-appdata: https://ssl.gstatic.com 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *">
+```
+
+## Take a Picture and Return Thumbnails (Resize the Picture) <a name="getThumbnails"></a>
+
+To get smaller images, you can return a resized image by passing both `targetHeight` and `targetWidth` values with your CameraOptions object. In this example, you resize the returned image to fit in a 100px by 100px box (the aspect ratio is maintained, so 100px is either the height or width, whichever is greater in the source).
+
+```js
+function openCamera(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    if (selection == "camera-thmb") {
+        options.targetHeight = 100;
+        options.targetWidth = 100;
+    }
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Select a File from the Picture Library <a name="selectFile"></a>
+
+When selecting a file using the file picker, you also need to set the CameraOptions object. In this example, set the `sourceType` to `Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM`. To open the file picker, call `getPicture` just as you did in the previous example, passing in the success and error callbacks along with CameraOptions object.
+
+```js
+function openFilePicker(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Select an Image and Return Thumbnails (resized images) <a name="getFileThumbnails"></a>
+
+Resizing a file selected with the file picker works just like resizing using the Camera app; set the `targetHeight` and `targetWidth` options.
+
+```js
+function openFilePicker(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    if (selection == "picker-thmb") {
+        // To downscale a selected image,
+        // Camera.EncodingType (e.g., JPEG) must match the selected image type.
+        options.targetHeight = 100;
+        options.targetWidth = 100;
+    }
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something with image
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Take a picture and get a FileEntry Object <a name="convert"></a>
+
+If you want to do something like copy the image to another location, or upload it somewhere using the FileTransfer plugin, you need to get a FileEntry object for the returned picture. To do that, call `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL` on the file URI returned by the Camera app. If you need to use a FileEntry object, set the `destinationType` to `Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI` in your CameraOptions object (this is also the default value).
+
+>*Note* You need the [File plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-file) to call `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL`.
+
+Here is the call to `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL`. The image URI is passed to this function from the success callback of `getPicture`. The success handler of `resolveLocalFileSystemURL` receives the FileEntry object.
+
+```js
+function getFileEntry(imgUri) {
+    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(imgUri, function success(fileEntry) {
+
+        // Do something with the FileEntry object, like write to it, upload it, etc.
+        // writeFile(fileEntry, imgUri);
+        console.log("got file: " + fileEntry.fullPath);
+        // displayFileData(fileEntry.nativeURL, "Native URL");
+
+    }, function () {
+      // If don't get the FileEntry (which may happen when testing
+      // on some emulators), copy to a new FileEntry.
+        createNewFileEntry(imgUri);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+In the example shown in the preceding code, you call the app's `createNewFileEntry` function if you don't get a valid FileEntry object. The image URI returned from the Camera app should result in a valid FileEntry, but platform behavior on some emulators may be different for files returned from the file picker.
+
+>*Note* To see an example of writing to a FileEntry, see the [File plugin README](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-file).
+
+The code shown here creates a file in your app's cache (in sandboxed storage) named `tempFile.jpeg`. With the new FileEntry object, you can copy the image to the file or do something else like upload it.
+
+```js
+function createNewFileEntry(imgUri) {
+    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.cacheDirectory, function success(dirEntry) {
+
+        // JPEG file
+        dirEntry.getFile("tempFile.jpeg", { create: true, exclusive: false }, function (fileEntry) {
+
+            // Do something with it, like write to it, upload it, etc.
+            // writeFile(fileEntry, imgUri);
+            console.log("got file: " + fileEntry.fullPath);
+            // displayFileData(fileEntry.fullPath, "File copied to");
+
+        }, onErrorCreateFile);
+
+    }, onErrorResolveUrl);
+}
+```

+### iOS Quirks
+
+Since iOS 10 it's mandatory to add a `NSCameraUsageDescription` and `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` in the info.plist.
+
+- `NSCameraUsageDescription` describes the reason that the app accesses the user’s camera.
+- `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` describes the reason the app accesses the user's photo library. 
+
+When the system prompts the user to allow access, this string is displayed as part of the dialog box. 
+
+To add this entry you can pass the following variables on plugin install.
+
+- `CAMERA_USAGE_DESCRIPTION` for `NSCameraUsageDescription`
+- `PHOTOLIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION` for `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription`
+
+Example:
+
+    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --variable CAMERA_USAGE_DESCRIPTION="your usage message" --variable PHOTOLIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION="your usage message"
+
+If you don't pass the variable, the plugin will add an empty string as value.

+## Sample: Take Pictures, Select Pictures from the Picture Library, and Get Thumbnails <a name="sample"></a>
+
+The Camera plugin allows you to do things like open the device's Camera app and take a picture, or open the file picker and select one. The code snippets in this section demonstrate different tasks including:
+
+* Open the Camera app and [take a Picture](#takePicture)
+* Take a picture and [return thumbnails](#getThumbnails) (resized picture)
+* Take a picture and [generate a FileEntry object](#convert)
+* [Select a file](#selectFile) from the picture library
+* Select a JPEG image and [return thumbnails](#getFileThumbnails) (resized image)
+* Select an image and [generate a FileEntry object](#convert)
+
+## Take a Picture <a name="takePicture"></a>
+
+Before you can take a picture, you need to set some Camera plugin options to pass into the Camera plugin's `getPicture` function. Here is a common set of recommendations. In this example, you create the object that you will use for the Camera options, and set the `sourceType` dynamically to support both the Camera app and the file picker.
+
+```js
+function setOptions(srcType) {
+    var options = {
+        // Some common settings are 20, 50, and 100
+        quality: 50,
+        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
+        // In this app, dynamically set the picture source, Camera or photo gallery
+        sourceType: srcType,
+        encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
+        mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
+        allowEdit: true,
+        correctOrientation: true  //Corrects Android orientation quirks
+    }
+    return options;
+}
+```
+
+Typically, you want to use a FILE_URI instead of a DATA_URL to avoid most memory issues. JPEG is the recommended encoding type for Android.
+
+You take a picture by passing in the options object to `getPicture`, which takes a CameraOptions object as the third argument. When you call `setOptions`, pass `Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA` as the picture source.
+
+```js
+function openCamera(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        displayImage(imageUri);
+        // You may choose to copy the picture, save it somewhere, or upload.
+        func(imageUri);
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+Once you take the picture, you can display it or do something else. In this example, call the app's `displayImage` function from the preceding code.
+
+```js
+function displayImage(imgUri) {
+
+    var elem = document.getElementById('imageFile');
+    elem.src = imgUri;
+}
+```
+
+To display the image on some platforms, you might need to include the main part of the URI in the Content-Security-Policy `<meta>` element in index.html. For example, on Windows 10, you can include `ms-appdata:` in your `<meta>` element. Here is an example.
+
+```html
+<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' data: gap: ms-appdata: https://ssl.gstatic.com 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *">
+```
+
+## Take a Picture and Return Thumbnails (Resize the Picture) <a name="getThumbnails"></a>
+
+To get smaller images, you can return a resized image by passing both `targetHeight` and `targetWidth` values with your CameraOptions object. In this example, you resize the returned image to fit in a 100px by 100px box (the aspect ratio is maintained, so 100px is either the height or width, whichever is greater in the source).
+
+```js
+function openCamera(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    if (selection == "camera-thmb") {
+        options.targetHeight = 100;
+        options.targetWidth = 100;
+    }
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Select a File from the Picture Library <a name="selectFile"></a>
+
+When selecting a file using the file picker, you also need to set the CameraOptions object. In this example, set the `sourceType` to `Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM`. To open the file picker, call `getPicture` just as you did in the previous example, passing in the success and error callbacks along with CameraOptions object.
+
+```js
+function openFilePicker(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Select an Image and Return Thumbnails (resized images) <a name="getFileThumbnails"></a>
+
+Resizing a file selected with the file picker works just like resizing using the Camera app; set the `targetHeight` and `targetWidth` options.
+
+```js
+function openFilePicker(selection) {
+
+    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM;
+    var options = setOptions(srcType);
+    var func = createNewFileEntry;
+
+    if (selection == "picker-thmb") {
+        // To downscale a selected image,
+        // Camera.EncodingType (e.g., JPEG) must match the selected image type.
+        options.targetHeight = 100;
+        options.targetWidth = 100;
+    }
+
+    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {
+
+        // Do something with image
+
+    }, function cameraError(error) {
+        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");
+
+    }, options);
+}
+```
+
+## Take a picture and get a FileEntry Object <a name="convert"></a>
+
+If you want to do something like copy the image to another location, or upload it somewhere using the FileTransfer plugin, you need to get a FileEntry object for the returned picture. To do that, call `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL` on the file URI returned by the Camera app. If you need to use a FileEntry object, set the `destinationType` to `Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI` in your CameraOptions object (this is also the default value).
+
+>*Note* You need the [File plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-file) to call `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL`.
+
+Here is the call to `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL`. The image URI is passed to this function from the success callback of `getPicture`. The success handler of `resolveLocalFileSystemURL` receives the FileEntry object.
+
+```js
+function getFileEntry(imgUri) {
+    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(imgUri, function success(fileEntry) {
+
+        // Do something with the FileEntry object, like write to it, upload it, etc.
+        // writeFile(fileEntry, imgUri);
+        console.log("got file: " + fileEntry.fullPath);
+        // displayFileData(fileEntry.nativeURL, "Native URL");
+
+    }, function () {
+      // If don't get the FileEntry (which may happen when testing
+      // on some emulators), copy to a new FileEntry.
+        createNewFileEntry(imgUri);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+In the example shown in the preceding code, you call the app's `createNewFileEntry` function if you don't get a valid FileEntry object. The image URI returned from the Camera app should result in a valid FileEntry, but platform behavior on some emulators may be different for files returned from the file picker.
+
+>*Note* To see an example of writing to a FileEntry, see the [File plugin README](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-file).
+
+The code shown here creates a file in your app's cache (in sandboxed storage) named `tempFile.jpeg`. With the new FileEntry object, you can copy the image to the file or do something else like upload it.
+
+```js
+function createNewFileEntry(imgUri) {
+    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.cacheDirectory, function success(dirEntry) {
+
+        // JPEG file
+        dirEntry.getFile("tempFile.jpeg", { create: true, exclusive: false }, function (fileEntry) {
+
+            // Do something with it, like write to it, upload it, etc.
+            // writeFile(fileEntry, imgUri);
+            console.log("got file: " + fileEntry.fullPath);
+            // displayFileData(fileEntry.fullPath, "File copied to");
+
+        }, onErrorCreateFile);
+
+    }, onErrorResolveUrl);
+}
+```

swbradshaw	f2b4eeded0	CB-4078: Fix for orientation/scaling on Android 4.4+ devices The only way to get rotation for photos in library (Gallery, File System, Google Drive,etc) is to first create a temporary file from the provider. Only then can we determine the orientation and scale the bitmap correctly. By doing it in a central place, it eliminates reading the inputstream repetitively in the plugin.	2016-04-27 22:27:37 -04:00
