Get Photo from album is not working in MobileFirst using mobile browser simulator
Question
I am trying to run this code from phonegap so I can integrate it in my hybrid android application built with IBM MobileFirst.
The capture photo button is working perfectly(source: camera)
While the other buttons are not working at all.. I want to be able to get photo from my gallery or album...
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.6.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var pictureSource; // picture source
var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value
// Wait for Cordova to connect with the device

document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);

//
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
// Called when a photo is successfully retrieved
//
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {
// Uncomment to view the base64 encoded image data
// console.log(imageData);
// Get image handle
//
var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');
// Unhide image elements
//
smallImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image
//
smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}

// Unhide image elements
//
largeImage.style.display = 'block';
// Show the captured photo
// The inline CSS rules are used to resize the image

}
// A button will call this function
//
function capturePhoto() {
// Take picture using device camera and retrieve image as base64-encoded string
navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
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,

}

The HTML in the question is not based on a Hybrid app generated by MobileFirst Platform Foundation; it is missing all sort of references that are required. I am not surprised this code does not run at all for you.
Create a MobileFirst app in MFP Studio. This app will have Cordova built-in. All you need to do next is to add the required code snippets related to the camera API from Cordova:
func wlCommonInit() {
pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {
...
...
The HTML should be placed in index.html of the application.
Also test in an actual device. Per the written by you in the comments - it will then work there.
