Camera plugin question

1

On certain Android devices, our users are receiving an extra “selection” screen before being taken to the image gallery. See attached photo. Here is our code:

$scope.galleryPicture = function(){
        getPicture(navigator.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY);
    };

    var getPicture = function(source){
        var options = {
            quality : 50,
            destinationType : navigator.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
            sourceType : source,
            encodingType: 0,
            correctOrientation: true,
            targetWidth: 600,
            targetHeight: 600
        };

        $cordovaCamera.getPicture(options).then(function(imageData){
            $scope.mypicture = imageData;
        }, function(err){
            errorService.showError("Failed to get picture, try again!!");
        });
    };

Could the source be the issue? Would switching to Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM have a different effect? As I stated, this only happens on certain Androids.

You should use SAVEDPHOTOALBUM to go around with this issue.
PHOTOLIBRARY is the whole “library”.

Tried that and still no luck. I am thinking that I am going to have to modify the camera plugin to target a specific intent, unless someone else has another idea. Surprised this one doesn’t come up that often. Have been unable to find other people talking about this.

We ran into this issue as we wanted to create something like a pdf-upload. On some device (Samsung…) you are able to choose your source what it makes a little bit difficult.

Now we provide only taking photos, upload photos, capture audio and video files instead of upload them from filesystem.
