how to select the video from gallery in phonegap?

Please help me any one how to select only the video from the gallery in android and iOS in cordova
I am tried this click Here for select the video from media but it not working for me...
var pictureSource;
var destinationType;
var mediaType;
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource = navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType = navigator.camera.DestinationType;
mediaType = navigator.camera.MediaType;
}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, {
destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
mediaType: mediaType.VIDEO,
sourceType: source
});
function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
console.log(imageURI);
}
function onFail(message) {
console.log(message);
}
i am used this same code to implement in my app but it can't come....

You can try the snippet below:
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 100,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
mediaType: Camera.MediaType.VIDEO
});
Not that the mediaType can be:
Camera.MediaType = {
PICTURE: 0, // allow selection of still pictures only. DEFAULT. Will return format specified via DestinationType
VIDEO: 1, // allow selection of video only, WILL ALWAYS RETURN FILE_URI
ALLMEDIA : 2 // allow selection from all media types

sencha+Phonegap issue (navigator.camera.getPicture function crash app)

I'm new programing in sencha touch framework, i'm working in an app(android) which has to take a picture and show it later in another view, but the picture is taken without problems, but once i take the picture, the app crash, it even doesn't call the failure event. I'm using cordova's navigator.camera.getPicture function to take the picture. Could anybody tell me, what am i missing??

I did like this way you may try
config: {
cls:'cameraimageoverlay',
items: [
{
xtype: 'button',
ui: 'confirm',
iconCls: 'confirm',
id:'devicecapturephoto',
text: 'Take Photo',
margin: '10 40',
width: '72%',
height: 36
}
],
listeners:[
{
fn: 'capturePhoto',
event: 'tap',
delegate: '#devicecapturephoto'
}
]
}
capturePhoto function
capturePhoto:function() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
try{
var pictureSource; // picture source
var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady () {
// alert('device ready');
pictureSource = navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType = navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {
var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');
smallImage.style.display = 'block';
smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {
// 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 in-line CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
largeImage.src = imageURI;
}
// A button will call this function
//
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50, correctOrientation: true,
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);
}
}
catch(err){
// alert(err);
}

I am taking a picture and trying to save it like this but it is saving as a file not as a picture(binary).so after saving the picture its not opening.How can i save it with proper fromat so that i can open it as a picture ?

I did it this way:
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI, });
}
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageURI) {
var gotFileEntry = function(fileEntry) {
//alert("got image file entry: " + fileEntry.fullPath);
var gotFileSystem = function(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getDirectory("MyAppFolder", {
create : true
}, function(dataDir) {
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getTime();
//new file name
var newFileName = n + ".jpg";
console.log("Saved image" + dataDir);
// copy the file
fileEntry.moveTo(dataDir, newFileName, null, fsFail);
}, dirFail);
};
// get file system to copy or move image file to
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFileSystem,
fsFail);
};
// resolve file system for image
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(imageURI, gotFileEntry, fsFail);
// file system fail
var fsFail = function(error) {
alert("failed with error code: " + error.code);
};
var dirFail = function(error) {
alert("Directory error code: " + error.code);
};
}
Hope it helps you!

If you are ok to save image in photo gallery, then try following code :
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, {
quality: 50,
destinationType : destinationType.FILE_URI,
saveToPhotoAlbum : true,
});
}

function save(){
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
// PhoneGap is ready
//
function onDeviceReady() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
}
function gotFS(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getFile("pic.jpg", {create: true, exclusive: false}, gotFileEntry, fail);
}
function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
fileEntry.createWriter(gotFileWriter, fail);
}
function gotFileWriter(writer) {
var photo = document.getElementById("image");
writer.write(photo.value);
}
function fail(error) {
console.log(error.code);
}

saving image into gallery with phonegap

How can I save an image to gallery of the mobile with android phonegap?
I tried this code:
function save(){
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
// PhoneGap is ready
//
function onDeviceReady() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
}
function gotFS(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getFile("pic.jpg", {create: true, exclusive: false}, gotFileEntry, fail);
}
function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
console.log(fileEntry.fullPath);
fileEntry.createWriter(gotFileWriter, fail);
}
function gotFileWriter(writer) {
var photo = document.getElementById("dwnldImg");
writer.write(photo.value);
}
But it saves the image into my project directory which is file:///data/data/pack.name/pic.jpg.
how can i make it appear in the mobile gallery

try using this:
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail,{
quality : 25,
destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
allowEdit : true,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: true });
}
