• Okay, and for the final step, solving the poor quality image that gets uploaded. Firstly I place the image from event.media into an imageView where canScale = true and enableZoomControls = false.

  I then scale that imageView to the size I want to upload it at. Next I render that view as an image eg

  renderedImage = imageView.toImage();
  

  and use renderedImage as the image: for a new imageView. This step only seems to work if there is a slight time delay, I then render this new imageView as a blob:

  setTimeout(function(){        
  
  renderedImage = hiddenImageView.toImage();
  
  var saveImageView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({
  
  top: 0,
  left: 0,
  width: 'auto',
  height: 'auto',
  image: renderedImage,
  
  });
  
  imageScrollView.add(saveImageView);
  
  imageToUpload = saveImageView.toBlob();
  
  
  }, 500);
  

  and send the resulting data off to the server in the usual way:

  xhr.send({picture:imageToUpload,type:'submit'});
  

  On iPhone you need to set the content-type header to multipart/form-data on Android you don't (but this might just be for my particular case).

  The other thing I had to watch out for on the server is that from android the 'name' variable in the $_FILES array doesn't have an extension on it, so I have to tack on a .bin extension so it works with the rest of my php.

  It all seems a bit hackish (and I'd love to know if there's an easier way) but at least my image upload is working on iPhone and android… at least in the emulator anyway..

• For anyone else that's stuck on this the trick appears to be to convert the imageView to a blob with imageView.toBlob() as opposed to using toImage() as most of the code floating around this forum uses.

  Once done the $_FILES array will have content in it. The only problem now is the image quality is appalling. Will have to try and sort that out…

• Leigh, I'm trying desperately to get image resize to work on Android. Here's what I've tried, based partially on your answer here:

  If you could take a look and offer advice or post complete working code I'd very much appreciate it.
