1 Introduction
The Camera widget enables PhoneGap native camera functionality within your Mendix mobile application.
2 Compatibility
This widget functions on the latest versions of both iOS and Android. Windows Phone is not supported.
3 Offline
Support for offline profiles was introduced in version 3.0 of the widget. The functionality is the same in the new offline profile, with the exception that on-save microflows and the Autosave setting will trigger an error in the client when enabled.
4 Configuration
Place the widget in a data view where you want the button to be placed. Make sure this form is reachable from a mobile application.
4.1 Image Container Class
This is the class that will be set on the image preview container.
4.2 Width

4.8 On Save Nanoflow
This is an optional nanoflow that will be triggered when the object is saved.
4.9 Autosave

4.10 Picture Source
Setting this determines where the image will come from: the gallery or the camera.
4.11 Image Quality

4.12 Quality Width
This is the width in pixels to scale the image. This must be used with the targetHeight. The aspect ratio remains constant.
4.13 Quality Height
