Hi guys,

I have been working on an app that uses the flash as a flashlight in iPhones. Im wondering what code would switch ON the flashlight.

Hi Nitish,

Cordova API does not expose out of the box way for working with devices that have flash light. However there are custom Cordova plugins that do this e.g.: Flashlight-PhoneGap-Plugin.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this. I have seen couple of these plugins for the past hours. However, I cant seem to figure out on how I will install this in my icenium. I tried replacing my files and working out its directories, but still no Luck :(

Hello Nitish,

How did you download and install the plugin to your project? You should use the Download Zip button, and then just follow the instructions from the following post: Import Custom Plugins.

I've made a sample that uses that plugin for your convenience, you can follow the guidance to clone a sample app and then run the app on your device.

Nice job.  Works just beautifully and I was able to blend into existing app.
