Cordova Camera 2 API Preview

Cordova camera preview using https://github.com/natario1/CameraView

Not an Android / Cordova Developer PR's appreciated.

Installation

To access the camera download the zip & copy it into a folder outside of your project, for example CameraPreview.

Then, open a terminal in your ionic project and do the following.

ionic cordova add ../CameraPreview

Once doing that, just add the below to your code.. In my example I use it with ionViewWillLoad()

ionViewWillLoad(){
 window.cordova.plugins.CameraPreview.startCameraPreview();
  }

And it's that simple....

If you're running on a physical device do

ionic cordova run android --device

Development

Want to contribute? Feel free to PR.

Todos

  • Embed within the Ionic Activity itself (or under), so it doesn't overlay
  • Add TakePicture ability.
  • iOS implementation?
