I'm using the following input inside an Ionic app to get an image or video from the user 

<input type="file" multiple #imageFileInput accept="image/*" (change)="imageFiles($event)" style="display:none;" />

However, it doesn't give them the choice of the camera as the chrome spec suggests When I add the capture attribute it ONLY opens the camera and doesn't give the choice of selecting a file. How can I set it so that the user has the choice of the camera or image from gallery?

  • And this example from 2018: [How to force HTML input file chooser to give the original file name in Ionic(Android)?](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49787899/11700321) - just because it has a different `accept` section to yours – EGC Oct 24 '19 at 23:27
