How to move captured image taken by Android phone to another folder using Phonegap?

[Kasturi Unde]

I am working on Phonegap 1.5.0, Our project needs to copy picture
taken from camera using Android device and move it to another folder.
All the images are stored in DCIM/100media/camera. How to move those
images to another folder? I am using HTC Wildfire S..

I have tried the examples of Phonegap Developer Guide..

Thanks in advance..

See the docs for copyTo(). This has been working ok for me:

myFileSystem = ...;
myDirectoryEntry = ...;
srcFilePath = ...;
srcFileName = ...;
newFileName = ...;

myFileSystem.root.getFile(
    srcFilePath,
    {create: false},
    function(fileEntry) {
        fileEntry.copyTo(
            myDirectoryEntry,
            newFileName,
            function(){
                log('copied photo to: ' + newFileName);
                /*
                fileEntry.remove(
                    function() { log('removed photo: ' + srcFileName + ' (' + newFileName + ')'); },
                    function(error) { log('error removing photo: ' + error.code); }
                )
                */
            },
            function(error) { log('error copying photo: ' + error.code); }
        )
    },
    function(error) { log('error getting photo entry: ' + error.code); }
)

function capture() {

    // Retrieve image file location from specified source
    navigator.camera.getPicture(getImageURI, function(message) {
        alert('Image Capture Failed');
    }, {
        quality : 40,
        destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI
    });

}

function getImageURI(imageURI) {

    var gotFileEntry = function(fileEntry) { 
        alert("got image file entry: " + fileEntry.fullPath); 
        var gotFileSystem = function(fileSystem){ 
            // copy the file 
            fileEntry.moveTo(fileSystem.root, "1.jpg", null, null); 
            alert(fileSystem.root);
       }; 
        // get file system to copy or move image file to 
        window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFileSystem, fsFail); 
    }; 
    //resolve file system for image  
    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(imageURI, gotFileEntry, fsFail); 
}

//file system fail 
function fsFail(error) { 
    alert("failed with error code: " + error.code); 

}

When the move fails does your error method get called? What do you see
in "adb logcat"?

Hi, Simon

Program tell me file move successful but it not correct. File does not move to my target folder. Please see my Logcat below

root@android:/data/data/xxx.xxx.xxx/photo/1 # ls -al
<empty result>

Again. File will appear here if I use copyTo().

Thanks,
Tanin

Arg, sorry I should have caught on before. The root cause of the issue is we are trying to do a move file between two different file systems. The /sdcard is one mount point and /data/data is another. UNIX will not allow you to move files between the two different file systems.

I've created a bug for this:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1808

Which I will fix by detecting the problem and calling the error callback instead of the success callback.

In order for you to do what you want you'll need to do a copyTo and then a remove.

Okay, the bug is fixed for 2.3.0 which won't be out for a month. In the meantime do a copy/delete to work around your issue.

Hi All,,

I am not able to copy images from one folder to another.Could you please help me here.Please find the code below.

By default ,the images are getting stored in the below path after image capture but I want to move this to configured folder.

self.copyImage=function () {
