I'm using the latest version of Phonegap and trying to build an app where users can select and upload multiple images from their gallery. Problem is, users may need to select tons of images, similar to the facebook app. Does phonegap allow this, or is this functionality that can only be done in an native app?
Any help is appreciated.
To grab several at once, you can enter selection mode by long-pressing on one photo, and then tapping on other pictures or on a date. Doing the latter will automatically select all the images taken on a specific day.
To select a group of photos located next to one another, click the first photo, then hold down the Shift key while you click the last photo. To select multiple photos that are not adjacent to one another, hold down the Command key as you click each photo.
Select an image and click Shift. Scroll until the last image you want to choose and click Select again.
As far as I know this has to be done as a custom plugin. The core phonegap plugins do not allow for this.
My company has written a plugin that allows multiple images to be selected for iOS and Android. It can be found here: https://github.com/wymsee/cordova-imagePicker
