+## 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);
+}
+```

 # Release Notes

+### 2.4.0 (Feb 28, 2017)
+* [CB-12501](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12501) **Android**: Appium tests don't use `XPath` selectors anymore
+* [CB-12469](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12469) Appium tests can now run on **iOS 10**
+* [CB-12005](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12005) Changing the `getOrientation` method to return the defined enumerated `EXIF` instead of orientation in degrees for Consistency
+* [CB-12368](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12368) Fix permission check on **Android**
+* [CB-12353](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12353) Corrected merges usage in `plugin.xml`
+* [CB-12369](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12369) Add plugin typings from `DefinitelyTyped`
+* [CB-12363](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12363) Added build badges for **iOS 9.3** and **iOS 10.0**
+* [CB-12312](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12312) [Appium] [Android] A few changes to the tests:  - updated comments on how to run the tests. extra comments around functionality at certain points in the automation.  - stub of a resolution checker on test startup - still need to figure out acceptable values.  - moved session shutdown to an afterAll clause.  - changed resolution determiner from using webview-based values to using the native windows dimensions - this helps as the webview values may be scaled down intentionally by manufacturers (via changing devicePixelRatio). furthermore, since the screen dimension automation is used purely for native UI automation, better to use the dimensions reported by the native context rather than the web context.  - when finding elements by XPath, use multiple calls to avoid a Windows emulator + Android bug. Made this pattern consistent in the entire test.

+
+- `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"

+## 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);
+}
+```

filmaj	05594c4646	CB-12312: [Appium] [Android] A few changes to the tests: - updated comments on how to run the tests. extra comments around functionality at certain points in the automation. - stub of a resolution checker on test startup - still need to figure out acceptable values. - moved session shutdown to an afterAll clause. - changed resolution determiner from using webview-based values to using the native windows dimensions - this helps as the webview values may be scaled down intentionally by manufacturers (via changing devicePixelRatio). furthermore, since the screen dimension automation is used purely for native UI automation, better to use the dimensions reported by the native context rather than the web context. - when finding elements by XPath, use multiple calls to avoid a Windows emulator + Android bug. Made this pattern consistent in the entire test.	2017-01-03 06:36:36 -08:00
