Saving a PNG or JPG image to Photos in iOS via PhoneGap

Question

I am new to PhoneGap and would like to know how to save an in-App image to Photos in iOS.

While I was able to use

navigator.camera.getPicture
         


        

Answer 1

Maybe you could try the plugin I wrote for IOS (If you want to save a canvas element to photogallery, you could get the dataURI of the canvas the use the downloadWithUrl method below). Hope it works for you.

here is the git link: https://github.com/Nomia/ImgDownloader

Short Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady);

//google logo url
url = 'https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png';

onDeviceReady = function(){
    cordova.plugins.imgDownloader.downloadWithUrl(url,function(){
        alert("success");
    },function(){
        alert("error");
    });        
}

//also you can try dataUri like: 1px gif
//url = 'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7'

you can also save a local file to image gallery use the download method
