Upload images and support jpg and png image format together.

[Bavya]

Hi,

I was using phonegap FileTranser API to upload images to my WCF server(KendoUI-Icenium project). I was able to upload, but the issue is I can upload either jpg or png images. Is this the way phonegap image upload will work? Its not possible to support both image format together?

function getImage() {
              navigator.camera.getPicture(uploadPhoto, function(message) {
                    alert('get picture failed');
                }, {
                    quality: 50,
                    destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
                    sourceType: navigator.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
                    encodingType:  Camera.EncodingType = { JPEG : 0, PNG : 1}
                }
             );
            }   
This is the way I tried to get both format together. But it is not working. Please note that I have tested in Android phone..

Thanks,
Bavya.

Hi Bavya,

 This is the way the Cordova Camera API is designed - you can take an image in one format at a time only. This is the relevant part of the Camera implementation.

 What you can do instead is to upload one version of the image to your server and there convert it to the other. However, if this isn't what you want, then you can submit an improvement request for the Camera API to Cordova's JIRA.
