Take pictures with camera

[matdrapeau]

Is there any plans to integrate the camera and being able to capture pictures?

Also, I noticed that there is not much activity going on with this project anymore...

@matdrapeau we don't plan to integrate capturing pictures from the camera directly into the core Hyperview library. Our philosophy is to keep the core library minimal, and support extensions through custom components and behavior actions.

At Instawork, we do have a custom input field that opens the camera/photo gallery, uploads the file to S3, and sends the URL as form data back to the server. I'm happy to share some of the details of our implementation if that is helpful to you.

The project is still actively maintained and being developed, we are using it extensively and have several major projects planned for this year. The most likely next project is support for client-side caching, to improve performance and support some limited offline-mode capabilities. A lot of other projects may be open-sourced as the extensions mentioned above (components and behaviors).

@adamstep again, picture and video handling is already basic feature of any mobile apps. I think it should be part of the core library but only the app-side form components, not the backend integration.
