understanding picture handling

Shawn_A_ · ‎02-20-2017

I've used this code to use my phone's camera

    // event listener for camera
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() {
            pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
            destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
    }

and that works OK.

I invoke the camera using

        navigator.camera.getPicture(onGetPicSuccess, onGetPicFail, { 
            quality: 50,
            destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
            sourceType: pictureSource.PHOTOLIBRARY 
        });

then the function called after successful picture "get"

function onGetPicSuccess(imageData){

Now, my question.

The variable "imageData" looks like this:

blob:http%3A//localhost%3A57492/ac65226c-5698-4345-b301-81205b1403fa

I'm assuming that is not the actual image data. It's a URL that points to the image on the camera.

Is that correct?

This is a question that would be better asked on Stack Overflow.
