Issue at using cordova camera plugin within angular2
Question
I try to get the cordova-plugin-camera running with a simple test component within angular2.
First I added the plugin to cordova by Installing the plugin at cordova. Following, I added at the index.html the cordova.js.
<body>
<app-root>Loading...</app-root>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
</body>
After that I build a simple angular component where to call the cordova plugin. This component has a button and this button should call the native camera via cordova.
Componenten HTML
<p>
testcamera works!
</p>
<div>
<button md-raised-button (click)="takePicture()">Picture</button>
</div>
By clicking the method/function on the component will be called. I declared a cordova variable to have access to the cordova plugins.
Angular component TS
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
declare let cordova: any;
@Component({
selector: 'app-testcamera',
templateUrl: './testcamera.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./testcamera.component.css']
})
export class TestcameraComponent implements OnInit {
public base64Image : String;
public photos;
public text;
constructor() {
}
ngOnInit() {
}
takePicture(){
cordova.plugins.camera.getPicture({
destinationType: cordova.plugins.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
targetWidth: 1000,
targetHeight: 1000
}).then((imageData) => {
// imageData is a base64 encoded string
this.base64Image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}, (err) => {
console.log(err);
});
}
}
The component works so fare but when I push the button "Picture" the function get called but the cordova does not open the native picture application. The calling cordova.plugins.camera.getPicture(..) not working. Can anyone help on that? What am I missing? Thanks a lot in advance.

Okay I help myself. The Problem I had was that I was taken the wrong variable.
Instead of
destinationType: cordova.plugins.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
I add to take the follwoing:
destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
Also for that I had to declare a variable for it.
declare let navigator: any;`
Thx a lot `
