I'm upload images in the form of Base64 into Firebase but what I've noticed is that it shows up on the uploader's interface before it's finished uploading to Firebase server.
So how would I know when it's finished uploading the image?
Alternatively, how can I postpone the image showing up on the uploader's interface until the image has been uploaded, so it displays synchronously with all users?
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edit: March 6th
Ok so I've reduce the code to the bare minimum to demonstrate this. Though to observe this effect it's best to view the CodePen on two separate locations simultaneously.
HTML:
<script src='https://cdn.firebase.com/js/client/2.0.4/firebase.js'></script>
<ul id="messages"></ul>
<input id="upload" type="file" accept="image/*" onchange="uploadImage()">
JQuery:
var dataRef = new Firebase('https://citruso.firebaseio.com/');
var messagesRef = dataRef.child('Messages');
messagesRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot) {
var message = snapshot.val();
var text = message.text;
if (text.substring(0,11) === "data:image/") {
$('#messages').append('<img class="message-image" src="' + text + '">');
}
else {
$('#messages').append('<li>' + text + '</li>');
}
});
function uploadImage() {
var file = document.querySelector('#upload').files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function () {
messagesRef.push({text: reader.result});
}
if (file) {
if (file.size < 10000000) {
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
else {
alert('File size cannot exceed 10mb.');
}
}
}

I've been struggling on this for a while.
When I upload an image in a phonegap application with camera.getPicture() and ft.upload() the image is uploaded without file extension. I read it was because of a cache thing, providing a link to the actual file entry or something.
It was annoying me but I moved on since the image was uploaded fine on my server and displayed fine too even without file extension.
But today, we figured images were sometime rotated by 90°.
I instantly made the connection between the missing part of the image data and this issue, and I guess (not sure) I am right on this point.
I read image rotated by 90° could be caused by missing header meta data, so I guess not only the file extension were missing after all..
Could someone explain me what am I missing in the code and what to do or in which direction to look ? That would be awesome.
Here is part of my code (I can give you more if needed)
navigator.camera.getPicture(function(uri) {
try {
var imageURI = uri;
...
var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.upload(imageURI, "some_script.php", function(r) {
...
Note:The image stored in database seems fine, the issue happens when the image is displayed in an tag.
Here an example of file getting rotate once uploaded (I added manually the .jpg extension so I could upload it on noelshack otherwise not able to). As you can see, the link to image is OK but once in tag it gets rotated

tl;dr
How to upload an image file entirely with phonegap including file extension & metadata header and not only a sort of cached file entry.

Please I am working on a project that needs to get photo from phone camera and fill two text boxes and upload them to remote server using cordova/phonegap. I have tried this for weeks now without luck. I'm building on android platform. thanks in advance.
Create two functions you can call separately. One function for just getting the image, and another function to upload the image.
You can do something like below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Submit form</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var pictureSource; // picture source
var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value
// Wait for device API libraries to load
//
document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);
// device APIs are available
//
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource = navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType = navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
// Show the selected image
var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');
smallImage.style.display = 'block';
smallImage.src = imageURI;
}
// A button will call this function
//
function getPhoto(source) {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: source });
}
function uploadPhoto() {
//selected photo URI is in the src attribute (we set this on getPhoto)
var imageURI = document.getElementById('smallImage').getAttribute("src");
if (!imageURI) {
alert('Please select an image first.');
return;
}
//set upload options
var options = new FileUploadOptions();
options.fileKey = "file";
options.fileName = imageURI.substr(imageURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
options.mimeType = "image/jpeg";
// this will get value of text field
options.params = {
firstname: document.getElementById("firstname").value,
lastname: document.getElementById("lastname").value,
workplace: document.getElementById("workplace").value
}
var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.upload(imageURI, encodeURI("http://some.server.com/upload.php"), win, fail, options);
}
// Called if something bad happens.
//
function onFail(message) {
console.log('Failed because: ' + message);
}
function win(r) {
console.log("Code = " + r.responseCode);
console.log("Response = " + r.response);
//alert("Response =" + r.response);
console.log("Sent = " + r.bytesSent);
}
function fail(error) {
alert("An error has occurred: Code = " + error.code);
console.log("upload error source " + error.source);
console.log("upload error target " + error.target);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="regform">
<button onclick="getPhoto(pictureSource.PHOTOLIBRARY);">Select Photo:</button><br>

Work Place: <input type="text" id="workplace" name="workPlace"><br>
<input type="button" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" onclick="uploadPhoto();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This code is working for me. Hope this helps.!
There is a file transfer plugin (which you may or may not be trying to use; you gave NO details) for such things. Or you can use straight javascript, ignoring cordova/phonegap completely. The details will depend a fair bit on how the service expects to be interacted with.
I am facing problem here as in phonegap image is uploaded to the server once u select a picture.I don't want to upload image before submitting form. Image is uploaded automatically to server which is something i don't want.I want to upload image with the form, where form contains many more fields which is required to send along with image. What are the possible ways to submit with form?

You're already sending custom fields in your example.
var params = new Object();
params.value1 = "test";
params.value2 = "param";
options.params = params;
Just populate params with your form fields.
I also faced same problem, but I have done using two server side calls on one click. In this, in first call submit data and get its id in callback using JSON then upload image using this id. On server side updated data and image using this id.
$('#btn_Submit').on('click',function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if(event.handled !== true)
{
var ajax_call = serviceURL;
var str = $('#frm_id').serialize();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: ajax_call,
data: str,
dataType: "json",
success: function(response){
//console.log(JSON.stringify(response))
$.each(response, function(key, value) {
if(value.Id){
if($('#vImage').attr('src')){
var imagefile = imageURI;
$('#vImage').attr('src', imagefile);
/* Image Upload Start */
var ft = new FileTransfer();
var options = new FileUploadOptions();
options.fileKey="vImage";
options.fileName=imagefile.substr(imagefile.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
options.mimeType="image/jpeg";
var params = new Object();
params.value1 = "test";
params.value2 = "param";
options.params = params;
options.chunkedMode = false;
ft.upload(imagefile, your_service_url+'&Id='+Id+'&mode=upload', win, fail, options);
/* Image Upload End */
}
}
});
}
}).done(function() {
$.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
})
event.handled = true;
}
return false;
});
On server side using PHP
if($_GET['type'] != "upload"){
// Add insert logic code
}else if($_GET['type'] == "upload"){
// Add logic for image
if(!empty($_FILES['vImage']) ){
// Copy image code and update data
}
}
I could not get these plugins to upload a file with the other answers.
The problem seemed to stem from the FileTransfer plugin, which states:
fileURL: Filesystem URL representing the file on the device or a data URI.
But that did not appear to work properly for me. Instead I needed to use the File plugin to create a temporary file using the data uri to get me a blob object: in their example, writeFile is a function which takes a fileEntry (returned by createFile) and dataObj (blob). Once the file is written, its path can be retrieved and passed to the FileTransfer instance. Seems like an awful lot of work, but at least it's now uploading.
Hi I was wondering if there was a way to preview images before I upload them using angularjs? I am using the this library. https://github.com/danialfarid/angular-file-upload
Thanks. Here is my code:
template.html
<div ng-controller="picUploadCtr">
<form>
<input type="text" ng-model="myModelObj">
<input type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)" >
<input type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)" multiple>
</form>
</div>
controller.js
.controller('picUploadCtr', function($scope, $http,$location, userSettingsService) {
$scope.onFileSelect = function($files) {
//$files: an array of files selected, each file has name, size, and type.
for (var i = 0; i < $files.length; i++) {
var $file = $files[i];
$http.uploadFile({
url: 'server/upload/url', //upload.php script, node.js route, or servlet uplaod url)
data: {myObj: $scope.myModelObj},
file: $file
}).then(function(data, status, headers, config) {
// file is uploaded successfully
console.log(data);
});
}
}
OdeToCode posted great service for this stuff. So with this simple directive you can easily preview and even see the progress bar:
.directive("ngFileSelect",function(){
return {
link: function($scope,el){
el.bind("change", function(e){
$scope.file = (e.srcElement || e.target).files[0];
$scope.getFile();
});
}
}
It is working in all modern browsers!
Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/y5n16v?p=preview
JavaScript
$scope.setFile = function(element) {
$scope.currentFile = element.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
$scope.image_source = event.target.result
$scope.$apply()
}
// when the file is read it triggers the onload event above.
reader.readAsDataURL(element.files[0]);
}
Html
<img ng-src="{{image_source}}">
<input type="file" id="trigger" class="ng-hide" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().setFile(this)" accept="image/*">
This worked for me.
See the Image Upload Widget from the Jasney extension of Bootstrap v3
// start Picture Preview
$scope.imageUpload = function (event) {
var files = event.target.files;
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = $scope.imageIsLoaded;
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
}
$scope.imageIsLoaded = function (e) {
$scope.$apply(function () {
$scope.img = e.target.result;
});
}
<input type='file' ng-model-instant onchange="angular.element(this).scope().imageUpload(event)" />
<img class="thumb" ng-src="{{img}}" />
I have this code which should get the base64 of the captured image, then save it as a jpg into the devices SD card, under the foler MyAppFolder. However it wont work and i cannot figure out why
<html>
<head>
<script src=../cordova.js></script>
<script>
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhoto() {
sessionStorage.removeItem('imagepath');
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50, destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI });
}
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageURI) {
// Uncomment to view the base64 encoded image data
// console.log(imageData);
// Get image handle
//
var imgProfile = document.getElementById('imgProfile');
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
imgProfile.src = imageURI;
if(sessionStorage.isprofileimage==1){
getLocation();
}
movePic(imageURI);
}
// Called if something bad happens.
//
function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
function movePic(file){
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(file, resolveOnSuccess, resOnError);
}
//Callback function when the file system uri has been resolved
function resolveOnSuccess(entry){
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getTime();
//new file name
var newFileName = n + ".jpg";
var myFolderApp = "MyAppFolder";
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fileSys) {
//The folder is created if doesn't exist
fileSys.root.getDirectory( myFolderApp,
{create:true, exclusive: false},
function(directory) {
entry.moveTo(directory, newFileName, successMove, resOnError);
},
resOnError);
},
resOnError);
}
//Callback function when the file has been moved successfully - inserting the complete path
function successMove(entry) {
//Store imagepath in session for future use
// like to store it in database
sessionStorage.setItem('imagepath', entry.fullPath);
}
function resOnError(error) {
alert(error.code);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="capturePhoto()">Take photo</button>
<img src="" id="imgProfile" style=position:absolute;top:0%;left:0%;width:100%;height:100%;>
</body>
</html>
when the button is pressed, the camera doesnt launch.
I solved it as follow. It might help you:
function capturePhoto() {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoSuccess, function(message) {
alert('Image Capture Failed');
}, {
quality : 40,
destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI
});
}
function onPhotoSuccess(imageURI) {
var gotFileEntry = function(fileEntry) {
alert("Default Image Directory " + fileEntry.fullPath);
var gotFileSystem = function(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getDirectory("MyAppFolder", {
create : true
}, function(dataDir) {
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getTime();
//new file name
var newFileName = n + ".jpg";
// copy the file
fileEntry.moveTo(dataDir, newFileName, null, fsFail);
}, dirFail);
};
// get file system to copy or move image file to
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFileSystem,
onFail);
};
// resolve file system for image
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(imageURI, gotFileEntry, fsFail);
// file system fail
var onFail = function(error) {
alert("failed " + error.code);
};
var dirFail = function(error) {
alert("Directory" + error.code);
};
The button wont get clicked because your image src is overlapping it.
Change the position of image src and your code shall work fine
