+
+This plugin provides access to the device's audio, image, and video capture capabilities.
+
+__WARNING__: Collection and use of images, video, or
+audio from the device's camera or microphone raises important privacy
+issues. Your app's privacy policy should discuss how the app uses
+such sensors and whether the data recorded is shared with any other
+parties. In addition, if the app's use of the camera or microphone is
+not apparent in the user interface, you should provide a just-in-time
+notice before the app accesses the camera or microphone (if the
+device operating system doesn't do so already). That notice should
+provide the same information noted above, as well as obtaining the
+user's permission (e.g., by presenting choices for __OK__ and __No
+Thanks__). Note that some app marketplaces may require your app to
+provide just-in-time notice and obtain permission from the user prior
+to accessing the camera or microphone. For more information, please
+see the Privacy Guide.

+- MediaFile
+- MediaFileData
+
+## Methods
+
+- capture.captureAudio
+- capture.captureImage
+- capture.captureVideo
+- MediaFile.getFormatData
+
+## Properties
+
+- __supportedAudioModes__: The audio recording formats supported by the device. (ConfigurationData[])

+## capture.captureAudio
+
+> Start the audio recorder application and return information about captured audio clip files.
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureAudio(
+ CaptureCB captureSuccess, CaptureErrorCB captureError, [CaptureAudioOptions options]
+ );
+
+### Description
+
+Starts an asynchronous operation to capture audio recordings using the
+device's default audio recording application. The operation allows
+the device user to capture multiple recordings in a single session.
+
+The capture operation ends when either the user exits the audio
+recording application, or the maximum number of recordings specified
+by `CaptureAudioOptions.limit` is reached. If no `limit` parameter
+value is specified, it defaults to one (1), and the capture operation
+terminates after the user records a single audio clip.
+
+When the capture operation finishes, the `CaptureCallback` executes
+with an array of `MediaFile` objects describing each captured audio
+clip file. If the user terminates the operation before an audio clip
+is captured, the `CaptureErrorCallback` executes with a `CaptureError`
+object, featuring the `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES` error
+code.
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+- Amazon Fire OS
+- Android
+- BlackBerry 10
+- iOS
+- Windows Phone 7 and 8
+- Windows 8
+
+### Example
+
+ // capture callback
+ var captureSuccess = function(mediaFiles) {
+ var i, path, len;
+ for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
+ path = mediaFiles[i].fullPath;
+ // do something interesting with the file
+ }
+ };
+
+ // capture error callback
+ var captureError = function(error) {
+ navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
+ };
+
+ // start audio capture
+ navigator.device.capture.captureAudio(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit:2});
+
+
+### BlackBerry 10 Quirks
+
+- Cordova for BlackBerry 10 attempts to launch the __Voice Notes Recorder__ application, provided by RIM, to capture audio recordings. The app receives a `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NOT_SUPPORTED` error code if the application is not installed on the device.
+
+### iOS Quirks
+
+- iOS does not have a default audio recording application, so a simple user interface is provided.
+
+### Windows Phone 7 and 8 Quirks
+
+- Windows Phone 7 does not have a default audio recording application, so a simple user interface is provided.
+
+## CaptureAudioOptions
+
+> Encapsulates audio capture configuration options.
+
+### Properties
+
+- __limit__: The maximum number of audio clips the device user can record in a single capture operation. The value must be greater than or equal to 1 (defaults to 1).
+
+- __duration__: The maximum duration of an audio sound clip, in seconds.
+
+### Example
+
+ // limit capture operation to 3 media files, no longer than 10 seconds each
+ var options = { limit: 3, duration: 10 };
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureAudio(captureSuccess, captureError, options);
+
+### Amazon Fire OS Quirks
+
+- The `duration` parameter is not supported. Recording lengths cannot be limited programmatically.
+
+### Android Quirks
+
+- The `duration` parameter is not supported. Recording lengths can't be limited programmatically.
+
+### BlackBerry 10 Quirks
+
+- The `duration` parameter is not supported. Recording lengths can't be limited programmatically.
+
+### iOS Quirks
+
+- The `limit` parameter is not supported, so only one recording can be created for each invocation.
+
+## capture.captureImage
+
+> Start the camera application and return information about captured image files.
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureImage(
+ CaptureCB captureSuccess, CaptureErrorCB captureError, [CaptureImageOptions options]
+ );
+
+### Description
+
+Starts an asynchronous operation to capture images using the device's
+camera application. The operation allows users to capture more than
+one image in a single session.
+
+The capture operation ends either when the user closes the camera
+application, or the maximum number of recordings specified by
+`CaptureAudioOptions.limit` is reached. If no `limit` value is
+specified, it defaults to one (1), and the capture operation
+terminates after the user captures a single image.
+
+When the capture operation finishes, it invokes the `CaptureCB`
+callback with an array of `MediaFile` objects describing each captured
+image file. If the user terminates the operation before capturing an
+image, the `CaptureErrorCB` callback executes with a `CaptureError`
+object featuring a `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES` error code.
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+- Amazon Fire OS
+- Android
+- BlackBerry 10
+- iOS
+- Windows Phone 7 and 8
+- Windows 8
+
+### Windows Phone 7 Quirks
+
+Invoking the native camera application while your device is connected
+via Zune does not work, and the error callback executes.
+
+### Example
+
+ // capture callback
+ var captureSuccess = function(mediaFiles) {
+ var i, path, len;
+ for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
+ path = mediaFiles[i].fullPath;
+ // do something interesting with the file
+ }
+ };
+
+ // capture error callback
+ var captureError = function(error) {
+ navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
+ };
+
+ // start image capture
+ navigator.device.capture.captureImage(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit:2});
+
+
+
+## CaptureImageOptions
+
+> Encapsulates image capture configuration options.
+
+### Properties
+
+- __limit__: The maximum number of images the user can capture in a single capture operation. The value must be greater than or equal to 1 (defaults to 1).
+
+### Example
+
+ // limit capture operation to 3 images
+ var options = { limit: 3 };
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureImage(captureSuccess, captureError, options);
+
+### iOS Quirks
+
+- The __limit__ parameter is not supported, and only one image is taken per invocation.
+
+## capture.captureVideo
+
+> Start the video recorder application and return information about captured video clip files.
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(
+ CaptureCB captureSuccess, CaptureErrorCB captureError, [CaptureVideoOptions options]
+ );
+
+### Description
+
+Starts an asynchronous operation to capture video recordings using the
+device's video recording application. The operation allows the user
+to capture more than one recordings in a single session.
+
+The capture operation ends when either the user exits the video
+recording application, or the maximum number of recordings specified
+by `CaptureVideoOptions.limit` is reached. If no `limit` parameter
+value is specified, it defaults to one (1), and the capture operation
+terminates after the user records a single video clip.
+
+When the capture operation finishes, it the `CaptureCB` callback
+executes with an array of `MediaFile` objects describing each captured
+video clip file. If the user terminates the operation before
+capturing a video clip, the `CaptureErrorCB` callback executes with a
+`CaptureError` object featuring a
+`CaptureError.CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES` error code.
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+- Amazon Fire OS
+- Android
+- BlackBerry 10
+- iOS
+- Windows Phone 7 and 8
+- Windows 8
+
+### Example
+
+ // capture callback
+ var captureSuccess = function(mediaFiles) {
+ var i, path, len;
+ for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
+ path = mediaFiles[i].fullPath;
+ // do something interesting with the file
+ }
+ };
+
+ // capture error callback
+ var captureError = function(error) {
+ navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
+ };
+
+ // start video capture
+ navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit:2});
+
+
+### BlackBerry 10 Quirks
+
+- Cordova for BlackBerry 10 attempts to launch the __Video Recorder__ application, provided by RIM, to capture video recordings. The app receives a `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NOT_SUPPORTED` error code if the application is not installed on the device.
+
+
+## CaptureVideoOptions
+
+> Encapsulates video capture configuration options.
+
+### Properties
+
+- __limit__: The maximum number of video clips the device's user can capture in a single capture operation. The value must be greater than or equal to 1 (defaults to 1).
+
+- __duration__: The maximum duration of a video clip, in seconds.
+
+### Example
+
+ // limit capture operation to 3 video clips
+ var options = { limit: 3 };
+
+ navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, options);
+
+### BlackBerry 10 Quirks
+
+- The __duration__ parameter is not supported, so the length of recordings can't be limited programmatically.
+
+### iOS Quirks
+
+- The __limit__ parameter is not supported. Only one video is recorded per invocation.
+
+
+## CaptureCB
+
+> Invoked upon a successful media capture operation.
+
+ function captureSuccess( MediaFile[] mediaFiles ) { ... };
+
+### Description
+
+This function executes after a successful capture operation completes.
+At this point a media file has been captured, and either the user has
+exited the media capture application, or the capture limit has been
+reached.
+
+Each `MediaFile` object describes a captured media file.
+
+### Example
+
+ // capture callback
+ function captureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
+ var i, path, len;
+ for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
+ path = mediaFiles[i].fullPath;
+ // do something interesting with the file
+ }
+ };
+
+## CaptureError
+
+> Encapsulates the error code resulting from a failed media capture operation.
+
+### Properties
+
+- __code__: One of the pre-defined error codes listed below.
+
+### Constants
+
+- `CaptureError.CAPTURE_INTERNAL_ERR`: The camera or microphone failed to capture image or sound.
+
+- `CaptureError.CAPTURE_APPLICATION_BUSY`: The camera or audio capture application is currently serving another capture request.
+
+- `CaptureError.CAPTURE_INVALID_ARGUMENT`: Invalid use of the API (e.g., the value of `limit` is less than one).
+
+- `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NO_MEDIA_FILES`: The user exits the camera or audio capture application before capturing anything.
+
+- `CaptureError.CAPTURE_NOT_SUPPORTED`: The requested capture operation is not supported.
+
+## CaptureErrorCB
+
+> Invoked if an error occurs during a media capture operation.
+
+ function captureError( CaptureError error ) { ... };
+
+### Description
+
+This function executes if an error occurs when trying to launch a
+media capture operation. Failure scenarios include when the capture
+application is busy, a capture operation is already taking place, or
+the user cancels the operation before any media files are captured.
+
+This function executes with a `CaptureError` object containing an
+appropriate error `code`.
+
+### Example
+
+ // capture error callback
+ var captureError = function(error) {
+ navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
+ };
+
+## ConfigurationData
+
+> Encapsulates a set of media capture parameters that a device supports.
+
+### Description
+
+Describes media capture modes supported by the device. The
+configuration data includes the MIME type, and capture dimensions for
+video or image capture.
+
+The MIME types should adhere to [RFC2046](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt). Examples:
+
+- `video/3gpp`
+- `video/quicktime`
+- `image/jpeg`
+- `audio/amr`
+- `audio/wav`
+
+### Properties
+
+- __type__: The ASCII-encoded lowercase string representing the media type. (DOMString)
+
+- __height__: The height of the image or video in pixels. The value is zero for sound clips. (Number)
+
+- __width__: The width of the image or video in pixels. The value is zero for sound clips. (Number)
+
+### Example
+
+ // retrieve supported image modes
+ var imageModes = navigator.device.capture.supportedImageModes;
+
+ // Select mode that has the highest horizontal resolution
+ var width = 0;
+ var selectedmode;
+ for each (var mode in imageModes) {
+ if (mode.width > width) {
+ width = mode.width;
+ selectedmode = mode;
+ }
+ }
+
+Not supported by any platform. All configuration data arrays are empty.
+
+## MediaFile.getFormatData
+
+> Retrieves format information about the media capture file.
+
+ mediaFile.getFormatData(
+ MediaFileDataSuccessCB successCallback,
+ [MediaFileDataErrorCB errorCallback]
+ );
+
+### Description
+
+This function asynchronously attempts to retrieve the format
+information for the media file. If successful, it invokes the
+`MediaFileDataSuccessCB` callback with a `MediaFileData` object. If
+the attempt fails, this function invokes the `MediaFileDataErrorCB`
+callback.
+
