How can I pick an image / video ( or take a photo / video ) using PhoneGap in Android ?

I have a web form needs to pick image / video contents and submit the form to upload the contents. Is PhoneGap capable to do so? or I have to fall back to native Android codes?

    Yes you can upload image to server with phonegap

    Here is the code to pick image or video

    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    
    function onDeviceReady() {
        pictureSource = navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
        destinationType = navigator.camera.DestinationType;
    }
    
        function capturePhoto() {
        navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50, 
        destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI });
    }
    
    function getPhoto(source) {
        navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50, 
        destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType: source });
    }
    
    function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
        // do whatever with imageURI
    }
    

    in html you have to write

    <button class="btn large" onclick="capturePhoto();">Capture Photo</button>
    <button class="btn large" onclick="getPhoto(pictureSource.PHOTOLIBRARY);">From
            Photo Library</button>
    

    for video

    Camera.MediaType = { 
        PICTURE: 0,             // allow selection of still pictures only. DEFAULT. Will return format specified via DestinationType
        VIDEO: 1,               // allow selection of video only, WILL ALWAYS RETURN FILE_URI
        ALLMEDIA : 2     }
    

    even you can go through this
