Question

I am using titanium sdk for mobile app development.

I was just searching for any way that i can prevent the camera from saving the image. I dont want to save the image till a few steps down the line so that all the information has been verified.

What i mean to say is that suppose after after clicking the image through the app if user selects the cancel button the image should not be present in the gallery.

Functionality is needed both on IOS and android.

Thanks a lot …

You need to set the saveToPhotoGallery to false and on the success function of the Titanium.Media.showCamera() put your logic and when they click on the save button save to the gallery

Titanium.Media.showCamera({
    success:function(event) {
        // called when media returned from the camera
        Ti.API.debug('Our type was: '+event.mediaType);
        if(event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO) {
            //
            //add your logic here
            //

            //onSave
            Titanium.Media.saveToPhotoGallery(event.media);
        } else {
            alert("got the wrong type back ="+event.mediaType);
        }
    },
    cancel:function() {
        // called when user cancels taking a picture
    },
    error:function(error) {
        // called when there's an error
        var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({title:'Camera'});
        if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) {
            a.setMessage('Please run this test on device');
        } else {
            a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code);
        }
        a.show();
    },
    saveToPhotoGallery: false,
    allowEditing: true,
    mediaTypes: [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO]
});
