Video Gallery

Hi , i would like to know if it is possible to get a video gallery for my application because it seems that the only gallery possible to implement is the photogallery

What can i do to display videos and then choose a video like the photogallery?

If you want to just enable the choosing of videos from the built-in gallery picker, add mediaTypes: [Titanium.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO] when you call Ti.Media.openPhotoGallery - then it will only show the videos in the gallery.

Hey Jimmy,

did you manage to do it on Android?
The solution Kosso suggested only works on iOS.

My best regards!

I found a solution for Android, but I am still struggling to get it working on Iphone.

    if(Ti.Platform.osname == 'android')
            {
                var intent = Titanium.Android.createIntent({ 
                    action: Ti.Android.ACTION_PICK,
                    type: "video/*"
                }); //android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE

                intent.addCategory(Ti.Android.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);

                window.activity.startActivityForResult(intent, function(e)
                {
                    if (e.error) 
                    {
                        Ti.UI.createNotification({
                            duration: Ti.UI.NOTIFICATION_DURATION_SHORT,
                            message: 'Error: ' + e.error
                        }).show();
                    } 
                    else 
                    {
                         if (e.resultCode === Titanium.Android.RESULT_OK) 
                         {
                        videoFile = e.intent.data;

                            var source = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(videoFile);
                            movieFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'mymovie.3gp');
                            source.copy(movieFile.nativePath);

                               videoFile = movieFile.nativePath;


                                   r.onload = function() {
                                        var callback = JSON.parse(this.responseText);

                                        if (callback.status == 'ok'){}
                                };

                                xhr.onerror = function(e){};

                                xhr.onsendstream = function(e){
                                Ti.API.info('ControladorTelas - ON SEND STREAM - PROGRESS: ' + e.progress);
                        };

                                if(movieFile.exists())
                                {
                                        xhr.send({
                                                video: source,
                                        });
                                            movieFile.deleteFile();
                                   }
                                else
                        {}
                            } 
                            else 
                            {
                                Ti.UI.createNotification({
                                        duration: Ti.UI.NOTIFICATION_DURATION_SHORT,
                                        message: 'Canceled!'
                                    }).show();

                            }
                       }
               });
            }

Maurício,

I found the solution for the Iphone as well! :)

Ti.Media.openPhotoGallery({
    allowEditing: true,
    mediaTypes: [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO],
    success:function(event) {                    
        xhr_video = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({enableKeepAlive:false});
        xhr_video.onload = function(e){
            Ti.API.info("OK: " + this.responseText);

            Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
                title: 'Success',
                message: 'Video uploaded',
                OK: 'OK'
            }).show();
        };

        xhr_video.timeout = config.TimeOut();

        xhr_video.onerror = function(e){ 
             Ti.API.info('ERROR => ' + e.error);
        };

        xhr_video.onsendstream = function(e){
            Ti.API.info('ONSENDSTREAM - PROGRESS: ' + e.progress);
        };

        xhr_video.open('POST', 'http://myServer/video_upload');
        xhr_video.send({
            video: event.media  //video,
        });
    }
});

Hello Douglas,

I have tested this code with SDK 3.0 and iOS5.1 and the video (event.media) is sent compressed to the server. Is there any way to send it withot compression?
It seems like photogallery is returning the video compressed, Does it right?

Thanks.

— commented December 29th 2012 by Koldo Calvo
I found the answer myself. The problem I had was that event.media returns a mimetype of mpeg but video really works if I add the .mov extension to the filename I upload to the server.

It would like to upload videos after choosing or capturing. It is possible 2 months later? Please can i have a clear answer to know if i have to give up Titanium or not because it's very urgent.

Thanks

if (Ti.Platform.osname == 'android') {

there is a function of mine in it which you can simply remove which is:
```
scene_picker(source);
```
— commented January 11th 2013 by Sedat Bilen

I am also still not able to view the video in the photogallary. Is there any solution. The code i have used is as below.

Titanium.Media.openPhotoGallery({
success : function(event) {
Ti.API.debug('Our type was: ' + event.mediaType);
if (event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO || Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {
UploadPhotoToServer(event.media);
}
},
cancel : function() {
},
error : function(err) {
Ti.API.error(err);
},
mediaTypes : [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO, Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO]
});
