Cordova Camera plugin gives error 'object' has no method "getPicture"

I am working on ionic v1 Camera app after setting up everything correctly (as done many times before). after building app and debugging it i got this error.
Plugin installed correctly,
ng-cordova.min included.
$CordovaCamera injected.
Here is my Code:
$scope.takePhoto = function () {
var options = {
quality: 100,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
allowEdit: true,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
targetWidth: 300,
targetHeight: 300,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: true
};
$cordovaCamera.getPicture(options).then(function (imageData) {
$rootScope.imgURI = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
$state.go('menu.signUp');
}, function (err) {
// An error occured. Show a message to the user
});
}
functions are working fine. but camera is not opening and gives error
as seen in picture.

Try with injecting $cordovaCamera in contact controller and use it like this
camera.getPicture() //just camera instead of $cordovaCamera

Use camera.getPicture() or navigator.camera.getPicture()
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-camera/

Make sure $cordovaCamera dependency Injected then use it like this
$cordovaCamera.getPicture(options).then(function(imageData) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}, function(err) {
// error
});

ionic front camera does not open

Using ionic plugin "name": "cordova-plugin-camera","version": "2.2.0". I am not getting front facing camera but opens back facing camera, also tried with cameraDirection : 1 as described on the link but it results in back facing camera. i have tested on Android 4.4 and 5.1
is there any way to get front facing camera open by switching or any other way or any fix?
Also debugged straight inside camera plugin code as on the link here i also got cameraDirection = 1 which is for front facing camera, but unable to resolve the problem.
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
//camera settings
$rootScope.options = {
quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
targetWidth: 100,
targetHeight: 100,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false,
correctOrientation:true,
cameraDirection : Camera.Direction.FRONT
};
$cordovaCamera.getPicture($rootScope.options).then(function cameraSuccess(imageData) {
$rootScope.imageData = imageData;
},function cameraError(err){
console.log(err);
$rootScope.imageData = '';
})
})

According to Docs you have to pass number in cameraDirection
So in your code write as follow:
$rootScope.options = {
quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
targetWidth: 100,
targetHeight: 100,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false,
correctOrientation:true,
cameraDirection : 1 // 0 means BACK, 1 means FRONT
};

Cordova Camera not working when application is build for android

I am using the camera plugin for my Ionic application.
The camera is working fully when I try the browser application on the device, yet when I build and run the APK on my device the getPicture method is not fired.
$scope.takePictureBack = function () {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
var cameraOptions = {
quality: 100,
targetHeight: 1080,
targetWidth: 1920,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
};
var success = function (data) {
$scope.$apply(function () {
/*
remember to set the image ng-src in $apply,
i tried to set it from outside and it doesn't work.
*/
$scope.cameraPicBack = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + data;
});
};
var failure = function (message) {
};
//call the cordova camera plugin to open the device's camera
navigator.camera.getPicture(success, failure, cameraOptions);
})
};
I have tried testing with logs, and it seems that neither the failure callback or the success callback of the methods are reached.
Does anyone know of any complications with the camera plugin.
For the record my cordova and ionic is updated, and I am testing on a Galaxy s6 edge plus, with Android 6.0.1.

Please use this code i had tested it on android device. it working as per your need.Simply you have to increase the camera option . Here are the options.
quality: 75,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
allowEdit: true,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
targetWidth: 300,
targetHeight: 300,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false
Futher if you have any query please feel free to contact me.

Cordova camera doesn't rotate the pic to correct orientation on Samsung S3

var onSuccess = function(imageUri){
$scope.report.imgUri = imageUri;
};
var onError = function(message){
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
};
$scope.capturePhoto = function(){
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onError, {
quality: 40,
destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
correctOrientation: true,
saveToPhotoAlbum: true,
encodingType: navigator.camera.EncodingType.PNG,
targetWidth: divWidth
});
};
I am building Cordova 3.5.0 on Samsung S3 with Android 4.3. The camera.capturePhoto function always ignore correctOrientation set, so the pic did not rotate to correct orientation. But it works fine on HTC Butterfly with Android 4.4. BTW, encodingType not work on android either. Any idea?

In some cases, setting navigator.camera.EncodingType.JPEG helped.
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
mediaType: Camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
correctOrientation: true

PhoneGap: Camera API getPicture dialog enlarged

In Android 4.4, using Camera API getPicture API will result in a enlarged dialog.
The code is below:
var sourceType = pictureSource.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM;
navigator.camera.getPicture(function(fileURI) {
// Success callback
}, function(message) {
// Fail callback
}, {quality: 50, destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI, sourceType: sourceType, mediaType: mediaType, correctOrientation: false, saveToPhotoAlbum: true});

Change android:anyDensity property in the AndroidManifest.xml from false to true fix the problem
