Hi @sagunshre !

You could take a look at the SpyCam tutorial:

https://github.com/ruboto/ruboto/wiki/Tutorial%3A-Making-a-spycam

It uses the camera at least. How to do it in a WebView, I am not sure. How would you do it with Java?

I found some examples Googling:

https://www.google.no/?q=android+webview+camera+capture

http://androidexample.com/Open_File_Chooser_With_Camera_Option_In_Webview_File_Option/index.php?view=article_discription&aid=128&aaid=148

I can help you translate a Java example into Ruby.

hi @donv thanks
it would be great if you could translate java to ruby. I've been stuck on this for more than a week.

Do you have a GitHub project and perhaps some description of what you want to make?

@donv just a simple webview project for loading web application. so, i need to be able to upload a picture and also be able to take a picture from camera when i click on html file input

@donv my oncreate method looks something like this

def onCreate(bundle)
super
web = WebView.new(self)
web.setWebViewClient(WebViewClient.new)
web.settings.use_wide_view_port = true
web.settings.java_script_enabled = true
web.settings.built_in_zoom_controls = true
web.load_url 'http://www.example.com'
self.content_view = web
rescue Exception
puts "Exception creating activity: #{$!}"
puts $!.backtrace.join("\n")
end

Working on getting a new release out. Will try to look at this before the next release.
