how can one list photos (and videos) from album/gallery (internal storage and SD card - DCIM/Camera folder) in Ionic 2 app? I don’t want to take a picture and show it in my app and I don’t need image picker… Just want to list thumbnails of an existing photos and videos in gallery/album and open image or play video by touching it… And how can I implement lazy loading for these thumbnails…

I’m searching for this answer for 3 days now… My motivation is decreasing radically… Just want to build a simple app and I’m stuck on this simple task…

Thanks

I found one solution in ionic 1 but I can’t make it work… Some global objects and functions are undefined… TS compiler is throwing an error… for example “Cannot find name ‘cordova’”.
