I am trying to access the JavaScript Camera API via the Android browser as demo'd at Google IO on Froyo (yes, I have Froyo on my Nexus1). Since there is no documentation, I am going by the W3C specs. But, I am unable to access the navigator.device object and unable to access navigator.camera either - both return undefined. Can anyone point me to documentation or have a solution ?

A:
The demo at Google IO was for a future version of Android, not Froyo. As you saw in the demo, even the Googlers themselves couldn't get it working at first go. The demo was of a very early-stage (alpha or earlier) prototype. I don't think you can currently do what you're trying to do within the browser.

Ahh, yes. You are correct. I just re-watched the keynote and he did indeed mention the 'next release' after Froyo. I guess I intially figured next release was meant as Froyo.

http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/ - if you watch the bottom keynote @ 18:45 - he states that the camera, mic, etc are coming in the next release after Froyo.
