[jira] [Commented] (CB-1215) Select multiple photos from photo
album using camera.getPicture()
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1215?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13431429#comment-13431429 ]
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/

> 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.
