I am trying to run the Camera API using Phone gap in Android, and i am running in all sort of issues.
I just copied phonegap camera example.
I am getting the following error
07-12 18:18:00.706: E/Web Console(17837): Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'SAVEDPHOTOALBUM' of undefined at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:98
07-12 18:17:59.456: E/Web Console(17837): Uncaught ReferenceError: Camera is not defined at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:67
I tried all the other destination type. It dint work
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI
destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL
Also i added the permission for Camera and hardware camera permission. But still it failed
Here is the following

Ensure you are including the correct (latest) cordova file in your HTML.
I had the same problem and I was including
cordova-1.8.0.js
rather than
cordova-2.4.0.js

You can try this for Capturing Photo using phonegap
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var pictureSource; // picture source
var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value
// Wait for Cordova to connect with the device
//
document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);
// Cordova is ready to be used!
//
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {
// Uncomment to view the base64 encoded image data
//alert(imageData);
// Get image handle
//
var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');
// Unhide image elements
//
smallImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
alert("inside large image")
// Uncomment to view the image file URI
// console.log(imageURI);
// Get image handle
//
var largeImage = document.getElementById('largeImage');
// Unhide image elements
//
largeImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
largeImage.src = imageURI;
}
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL });
}
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhotoEdit() {
// Take picture using device camera, allow edit, and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail,
{ quality: 20, allowEdit: true,
destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL });
}
// A button will call this function
//
function getPhoto(source) {
// Retrieve image file location from specified source
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: source });
}
// Called if something bad happens.
//
function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

I had the same problem I solved it on three steps
I used cordova.js ONLY and removed any phonegap.js
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
You must install the camera plugin using command line; xml only doesn't work
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera
In your xml you may are using org.apache.cordova.CameraLauncher it is wrong and will give you NullPointer exception.
The right package could be included like that
<feature name="Camera">
<param name="ios-package" value="CDVCamera" />
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.camera.CameraLauncher" />
</feature>
Give them a try! Thanks :)
