[Camera Plugin] Selecting an image from camera roll in a PWA
Question
camera-plugin
Mobile icon
Forge asset by OutSystems

Hello

I have installed the camera plugin and have been using the 'TakePicture' button/action and it seems to be working fine. I noticed that the 'ChooseFromGallery' button/action does not work and noticed that PWA support is in the works for it.

I am wondering what alternatives there are to selecting a photo from a user's phone's gallery/camera roll.

I appreciate all replies.

Thank you.

Hi Milos,

this component allows you to use camera in a PWA

José, I think @Milos Stankovic question is about an issue with Camera Plugin to chose pictures from the device picture gallery in PWA mode, not to take photos. The plugin you recommended do that?

Hi Milos ,

The only solution I could find, without introducing more plugins, was to use the out-of-the-box 'Upload' widget. This allows a user to select a photo from their camera roll as well as take a live photo then and there.

Although, it appears there was an update on the 30th of September which claims to have fixed the issue. Did you try updating it?

Hello,

I am also in need of this. In my case, I need to allow the user to select one or multiple photos from the gallery but also giving the user the ability to take a picture in Android devices.

This used to work using the normal file upload widget but for more recent Android devices it now only allows the user to browse the gallery. Taking a picture is still possible for IOS though.

Since some time has gone by, I thought I would revive this thread to see if anyone has any ideas/alternatives for me to implement this.

The latest version of the Camera Plugin still is not compatible with PWA (ChooseFromGallery widget).

Thanks

Hello!


You can use the DEPRECATED_ChooseGalleryPicture to select photos and videos from the gallery in PWA.

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for the prompt reply and you're right but I forgot to mention that I need to be able to select multiple pictures in my particular scenario which I believe is not possible using 'DEPRECATED_ChooseGalleryPicture'.

Regards,

Ricardo
