Description
Camera photo's is not saving in a photo gallery. This following code is working in 3.0.2 version but it's not working in later version for android platform.
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor : '#fff'
});
function fireUpTheCamera() {
Titanium.Media.showCamera({
saveToPhotoGallery : true,
allowEditing : false,
autohide : false, //Important!
mediaTypes : [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO],
success : function(event) {
Ti.API.debug('Our type was: ' + event.mediaType);
if (event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO) {
var imageView = Ti.UI.createImageView({
width : win.width,
height : win.height,
image : event.media
});
win.add(imageView);
} else {
alert("got the wrong type back =" + event.mediaType);
}
},
cancel : function() {
// called when user cancels taking a picture
},
error : function(error) {
// called when there's an error
var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
title : 'Camera'
});
if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) {
a.setMessage('Please run this test on device');
} else {
a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code);
}
a.show();
},
});
}
fireUpTheCamera();
win.open();

Hi Ingo Muschenetz, Please check this code and try to fix this bug urgently cause it's important for our project. Thanks
Since the 'useLegacyWindow' is false by default, the window that is created has it's own activity. Here the fireUpTheCamera is called before the window is created and the activity that is used to handle the callback after the photo is taken is associated with the main activity and not window activity. Only after the window is closed, the main activity resumes and callback is called to save the file. The code will work if the 'useLegacyWindow' is set to true or the 'showcamera' is called after the window is opened. Something like calling 'fireUpTheCamera' from a button click in the window.
Here is the code that works var win = Ti.UI.createWindow(); function fireUpTheCamera() { Titanium.Media.showCamera({ saveToPhotoGallery : true, allowEditing : false, autohide : false, //Important! mediaTypes : [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO], success : function(event) { Ti.API.debug('Our type was: ' + event.mediaType); if (event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO) { var imageView = Ti.UI.createImageView({ width : win.width, height : win.height, image : event.media }); win.add(imageView); } else { alert("got the wrong type back =" + event.mediaType); } }, cancel : function() { // called when user cancels taking a picture }, error : function(error) { // called when there's an error var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({ title : 'Camera' }); if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) { a.setMessage('Please run this test on device'); } else { a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code); } a.show(); }, }); } win.open(); var btnShowCamera = Ti.UI.createButton({ title : 'Take picture', width : 150, height : 70, top : 50 }); win.add(btnShowCamera); btnShowCamera.addEventListener('click', function(e) { fireUpTheCamera(); });
I tried this on Google Nexus with Android 4.3 Google Nexus S with Android 4.1.2 Motorola zoom tablet with Android 4.0.4 and is working fine with the new code and I am able to reproduce the issue with the old code. I don't have a 2.3.4 version to test this.
