Select image iphone simulator using phonegap camera api

Question

I'm new to Xcode and iPhone apps. I want to select an image from iPhone (camera or library) and send to php via ajax.

http://wiki.phonegap.com/iPhone:-Camera-API

I'm using the phonegap framework, Xcode iPhone SDK version 3.1.x. On clicking button it calls function with parameter 0 or 1, but it does not initialize camera or display the library.

I used the same code as in the above link.

it shows this error in debug console: 2010-03-25 23:36:02.337 PhoneGap[7433:207] Camera.getPicture: Camera not available.

simulator dsnt have camera, but photos(from library) also not wokring!

what might be the error? i think when using navigator.camera.getPicture first check for camera and if not break and shws error ~?

I don't know how are you using that framework. But UIImagePickerController is the class I use to choose photos from the iPhone library or the device's camera. And all you need to do is set it to display the library:

UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
//set your delegate and other properties...
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

or

picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;

You should check it out. Cheers
