Android Camera Image quality dropping down

cordova
1

I am developing an app for android devices. This app requires android Native camera app to launch and capture HD images. The images captured should not lose its quality and I am ok with the size of the images if its in MB’s…

Currently Im passing this object as camera options…

var options = {	quality : 100,	destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,	sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,	encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,	targetWidth: 3000,	targetHeight: 3400,	popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,	saveToPhotoAlbum: false	};	$cordovaCamera.getPicture().then(	function(imageURI){	console.log(imageURI);	$state.go('singleFileUpload',{'uploadType':'1','uploadPath':imageURI});	},	function(err){	$ionicLoading.show({ template: 'Picture was not taken!', noBackdrop: true, duration: 2000 });	}	);

What options should I change to get my requirement done?
OR, should I change the CameraLauncher.java to take only uncompressed lossless images?

Please help me with this problem.

Thanks!

Try PNG that’s a lossless format instead of JPEG.

I tried the PNG encoding type.

The cordova documentation says -
Android Quirks - EncodingType not supported in Android!

Is there any other way? :disappointed:

Which documentation? Not this one: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera#android-quirks

Just tried and it seems to work.
