Cordova: How To Take A Picture Without Using Camera App

I'm working on an Android App with Apache Cordova. I'd like to take a picture without opening camera application. I'd like the camera shoot by clicking a button from my app and sav

Solution 1:

Solved using CameraPictureBackground plugin:

functionsuccess(imgurl) {
  console.log("Imgurl = " + imgurl);
  //here I added my function to upload the saved pictures//on my internet server using file-tranfer plugin
}

functiononFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

functionCaptureBCK() {
    var options = {
    name: "Image", //image suffixdirName: "CameraPictureBackground", //foldernameorientation: "portrait", //or landscapetype: "back"//or front
    };

    window.plugins.CameraPictureBackground.takePicture(success, onFail, options);
}


    <button onclick="CaptureBCK();">CapturePhoto</button> <br>

You will find your pictures under CameraPictureBackground directory in your device acrhive. I used also file-transfer plugin in order to directly upload the pictures on my server over the internet.
