I am turning a HTML app into a .apk using https://build.phonegap.com and everything works great appart from my file selector.

<input name="file" type="file" id="file">

I want to be able to select images only (it doesnt matter if it can select more – but its the images I am looking for) from both camera and file system..

In the web version http://carbonyzed.co.uk/websites/assent/1/photos.html this works great from my phone, but when converted to .apk, this functionality is lost, and I can’t seem to find anything on here, or online relating to this issue.

    At least for me, the input file doesn’t work in Phonegap.

    You need use the Phonegap API to get picture and select the source where come from, like photolibrary, camera or savedphotoalbum.

    See more info about camera.getPicture: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#camera.getPicture
    and about Camera.PictureSourceType parameter of cameraOptions method: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#cameraOptions
