Using PhoneGap, How to get base64 image data of the photo chosen from photo library in iPhone

Question

Using PhoneGap(Cordova), Am trying to get base64 image data of the photo chosen from the photo library.

I could do that.. when the photo is captured from camera, Wi

Answer 1

You just need to tell it to pick from the photo library:

navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
    sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
}); 

Please be aware that loading a large base 64 encoded image may just cause and out of memory error in your app. Wherever possible use the FILE_URI to get your photo.
