Custom camera capture

Hi,
Its just a question of possibility :)
The PhoneGap camera feature that is used in Appery is convenient, but for my opinion lacking user experience. I mean that in a page you have to place 2 buttons to let the user choose camera/gallery while for example on Instragram or facebook you enter a "camera" mode where there you can take a picture or click a button and enter the gallery and choose from there
Is it possible to do something like that using Appery? i'm sure it requires some external plugin or something else but i was wondering if its possible

Thanks!

Hi Slava,

Do you want a user to choose an existing photo from gallery or to take a new one using Camera? http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

Custom camera capture

I am asking if its possible to create a plugin or some component that will work like that camera mode of facebook or instagram.
On the top of the "page" it will show the camera (what the camera sees)
On the bottom it will have a capture button to actually take the picture
Beside the capture button, there will be a button that will take me to the gallery

Hello Slava,

PhoneGap doesn't control camera screen size. It starts the phone's camera app and get the result back, so there's no way you can resize it.
