I'm developing a mobile web applications using jquery mobile, HTML 5.
From this application I want to access the camera. For that I'm using this plugin http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/

It is working fine in desktop browsers but it is not working in mobile devices (Android, iPhone).

I think the problem is using swf in that plugin. It might not be supported for mobile devices.

Please suggest any other options instead of .swf file

  • See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5083617/accessing-webcam-with-javascript . What you ask is currently not possible without native mobile code or flash. – rikkit Dec 22 '11 at 08:35
  • is that possible using jquery mobile?otherwise any other option is there please suggest me. – Ramasamy Kanna Dec 22 '11 at 09:53
  • Nope. Device access is an HTML5 thing, more than just jQuery. You will need to either wait until mobile browsers support HTML5 more fully, or build an actual phone app for the relevant platform. – rikkit Dec 22 '11 at 12:23
  • ok will this plugin http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/ work in mobile devices? – Ramasamy Kanna Dec 23 '11 at 09:56
  • No. You can't do what you want to do without building an Android or iOS app at the moment. – rikkit Dec 23 '11 at 12:33
