Take A Picture, Preview and Upload

Titanium.Media.showCamera({ success:function(event) { var image = event.media; // set image view imageView.image = image; }, cancel:function() { }, error:function(error) { // create alert var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({title:'Camera'}); // set message if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) { a.setMessage('Device does not have video recording capabilities'); } else { a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code); } // show alert a.show(); }, saveToPhotoGallery:true, allowImageEditing:true

to save the image to the app's directory:

var image = event.media;
var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, "savedImage.jpg");
f.write(image);

How do I show say a 50x50 thumb, but still submit the full sized image?

Global var?

total code:

var image = event.media;
var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, "savedImage.jpg");
f.write(image);

var imageView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({
    height:50,
    width:50,
        image:f.nativePath;

});
win.add(imageView);

This Crashes the simulator

Titanium.Media.showCamera({


            success:function(event)
            {


                   var image = event.media;
                   var f = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, "savedImage.jpg");
                   f.write(image);

                    imageView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({
                              height:200,
                              width:200,
                              top:50,
                              left:60,
                              backgroundColor:"#000",
                              borderColor:'#FFF',
                              borderWidth:5,
                              borderRadius:5,
                              image:f.nativePath
                      });



                   formView.add(imageView);

                   //Add Elements to Modal Window

                   uploadWin.open({modal:true});
                   formView.add(whatText);
                   formView.add(whereText);
                   formView.add(upload);
                   formView.add(atLabel);
                   uploadWin.add(formView);
                   upload.show();
            },

no matter what you do to clear what exactly?

you would define the creation of the imageView ( and adding it to the window ) outside of the success result from the camera and then just define the "image" property from within the success results.

try setting a different filename and delete the one. i think it's cached by the system.
