Hi,

I am trying to invoke a service from javascript.

service URL is {database_url}/files/{file_name}

Code to invoke:

function takePhoto2() {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(uploadPhoto2,

                             function(message) { 
                                 alert('get picture failed'); 
                             }, { 
                                 quality: 50, 
                                 destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL, 
                                 sourceType: navigator.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY 
                             }); 

}

function uploadPhoto2(dataURL) {
var binaryData = dataURL;

 svcUploadImage2.execute({ 
     headers: { 
         "X-Appery-Database-Id": '...', 
         "X-Appery-Session-Token": localStorage.getItem("userSessionToken"), 
         "Content-Type": 'image/jpeg' 
     }, 
     data: dataURL 
 }); 

}

The service was successfully run and I see a file in the files database, but the content of file is different from the dataURL, and the file in the database is not in proper jpeg format.

The file in files database has content like
0=i&1=m&2=a&3=g&4=e&5=%2F&6=j&7=p&8=e&9=g&10=%3B&11=b&12=a&13=s&14=e&15=6&16=4&17=%2C&18=%2F&19=9&20=j&21=...

but the value of dataURL is very different.

Any clue what can be done to upload dataURL exactly?

Thanks

Hello! It won't work this way. You send base64 encoded file content, please take a look here http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/uploa... what content should be sent. Another way is to get file from camera (not base64 string) and use FileTransfer http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0...
