Camera JSON error

[Luke Duncan]

When attempting to capture a picture from the camera on my app, I
receive a JSON error. I have updated to 1.5.0 just today, and I am
using the correct .js file. I've looked at the example packaged with
1.5.0 download and the same error appears. Any advice?

Same error here (Android 4.0.2 / Nexus Galaxy) in the example app.

Anyone a pointer to a starting point for debugging?

[Vik]

Same problem here. Android 2.3.6/Nexus One/PhoneGap 1.5

[Kokesh]

Same here (4.0.3/LG P500 Optimus One, Cordova 1.5.0)

If you're referring to the ancient demo app, and the Camera

"Get a Picture" function (not Capture API).. it's probably

because the default of pictureSource or destinationType 

(can't remember which one) has changed, and must be

set explicitly if it's not the one you want (probably good idea

to explicitly set anyway).

See Camera API docs for example of setting these values

before calling .getPicture().

My proposed new demo app has examples of camera and

capture (and all other APIs). Also on Android Market (free).

Just a quick thank you Libby - this has been bugging me for a while. FYI, it's destinationType that is now required.

[yimingwuzere]

In cordova-1.5.0.js, change the line

    var destinationType = Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URL;

to

    var destinationType = Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI;

There's a typo in the .js file.

[Libby]

Wow, good catch! Did you file an issue for it?  That explains why

setting explicitly each time works better :)

Create Issue CB-383.  Affects default destinationType if not set explicitly.

[Simon MacDonald]

This has already been fixed for 1.6 and I will close CB-383.
