Hi Support Team,

I’m able to import a picture from photoalbum in my app using below code:

function settings_take_avatar() {
    navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 70, 
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
    sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM,
    targetWidth: 400,
    targetHeight: 400
    }); 
}
 
function onSuccess(imageURL) {     
      var smallImage = document.getElementById('m1-settings-myImage');
      smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageURL;    
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

The m1-settings-myImage is an image widget having as below:

The problem is that every time i get the image from photoalbum, it is always rendered to 200 x 200, irrespective if it is landscape or portrate…
I expect the image is placed in the 200 x 200 image widget, with maximum side at 200 and smaller size accordingly to picture’s aspect ratio…

eg. if image il 1000 x 500 (landscape case) -> in my widget shall appear as 200 x 100…

The check “keep aspect ratio” in the design center doesn’t provide any effect… I’m not sure the issue is due to phonegap 1.1.0 bug CB-1008…

However: is there a way to take a picture from photoalbum and place it in an image widget maintaining the picture’s original aspect ratio?

thanks

Hi GasTone,

I’m discussing your request with the dev team. Will follow up with you as soon as I have more information.

Been thinking about your problem description. I will try to follow up tomorrow. I’m not exactly sure but I don’t think the layout engine is responding to change of an image src…. verifying this.

Here is my understanding of the situation. In MobiOne 2.2, the image “keep aspect ratio” property was introduced. The code generation services recognize the design-time image aspect ratio. When the image.src is dynamically updated the layout engine is not recognizing there is a new image with potentially different properties. I have discussed this matter with the dev team. They shared with me that the code generation services need to be updated to support dynamic images. We have a bug to track this improvement need.

Hi Wayne,

two questions (please answer both):

ONE) so far this is a blocking issue for me; I need to get a picture from album and display it correctly! can you please investigate any workaround using css and/or getting impored image properties ? PLEASE HELP, it is blocking…

TWO) when will you release new version? regarding new features, iScroll improvement is widely announced but it is still a big limitation (see http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4 having pull to refresh, but also have a look to http://cubiq.org/infiniwall too), date keeper, swap view (have a look to http://cubiq.org/swipeview), additional fonts … just to mention my needs… talking about bugs, I suffer about jumping page with input text fields…

Thanks a lot

We have a possible solution recently checked in and being QA’ed. We should know if/how well it works tomorrow or early next week. We are preparing an early release of a mobione 2.3 version that includes many improvements. I know we have an iscroll4 implementation on a test branch. I can’t say if it will be in scope or not yet for this upcoming version.
