Working on Ionic app, I’m trying to store and reuse a path to video in the iOS photo library. Using the Ionic-native camera plugin. However, each time I open a video, it generates and provides a new path with new uuid in tmp folder. Xcode log example:
2018-06-06 16:10:11.062655+0800 file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B3C0CDB7-6B2D-4F32-8C0C-632AE0D8FC79/tmp/BFDDB5BC-7F0B-42E5-B943-E5F9EAF25FB5.MOV
Here is my code:
openGallery() {
console.log('open gallery');
let cameraOptions = {
mediaType: MediaType.ALLMEDIA,
sourceType: PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
destinationType: DestinationType.NATIVE_URI,
quality: 100,
targetWidth: 600,
targetHeight: 600,
encodingType: EncodingType.JPEG,
correctOrientation: true
}
return new Promise<any>((resolve, reject) => {
this.camera.getPicture(cameraOptions)
.then(file_uri => {
if (this.platform.is('android')) {
file_uri = "file://" + file_uri;
}
console.log("openGallery >> " + file_uri)
resolve(file_uri);
}, err => {
console.log(err)
reject(err)
});
})
}
Is there any way to store a path to existing video in library without making a copy in the app folder?
