How do you access the library of photos on the device and then allow the user to select photos for upload?

[Elias Jo]

We are interest in allowing a user to browse through their existing library of photos and be able to select one or multiple photos that can then be uploaded to our servers.

I think there are two options:

• You can use the browser File API to select a picture from the file system
• You can use the PhoneGap Camera component and set the picture source to Library, instead of taking a picture.

Is there some documentation on how to use the PhoneGap Camera component? I'm not sure how to even get started using that.

Thanks!

I do not see any documentation about the PhoneGap camera component on the link you just provided.

The link takes you to a section that has tutorials on using native APIs, including the Camera component.

Hi Bachi,

Here is doc: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.5...

You can read any folders/files you need with this File API.

Regards.

Yurii,
I looked at this links, unfortunately I don't see if there is any multiple photo upload option it may given. This is the page I want to implement on;
