I’m thinking of getting into Android app development and I hear HTML5 apps are becoming more popular now. Can HTML5 + javascript be used to access media inputs on the phone, or is this only available to Java apps?
Thanks

Frameworks like Phonegap make this possible by providing a wrapper around the api of each device it supports, which can be called from your html5 application built using it. Check their site here or their api documentation for the camera api here.
