[jira] [Created] (CB-1215) Select multiple photos from photo album
using camera.getPicture()
Zack Boman created CB-1215:
------------------------------
Summary: Select multiple photos from photo album using camera.getPicture()
Key: CB-1215
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1215
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Android, iOS
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Zack Boman
Assignee: Joe Bowser
I've been using camera.getPicture() to select a photo from the user's phone gallery and it works great when all I want is to select one photo. But several of my users have requested the ability to select multiple photos in a single selection. I've seen other apps show a photo picker that allows the user to select multiple photos by clicking on them and then it adds a check mark next to each one and selects all of the photos that the user checked.
As far as I can tell, this functionality doesn't currently exist but Simon MacDonald told me to submit an enhancement ticket because the functionality is possible but just hasn't been implemented.

Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1215:
--------------------------------------
For iOS, we can't do it with UIImagePickerController (which the core Camera plugin uses) - it is single selection only. We would have to "roll our own" using ALAssetsLibrary: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/AssetsLibrary/Reference/ALAssetsLibrary_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009722
I suppose someone can create a plugin: http://www.icodeblog.com/2010/10/07/cloning-uiimagepickercontroller-using-the-assets-library-framework/

--------------------------------
Yeah, I don't see this being implemented in the core APIs any time soon, since this would require a change to the Javascript API across all the platforms. If you want to avoid that, I would recommend writing a plugin.
