Using The Device Camera In Your NativeScript Mobile App

November 23, 2015

I’ve been doing a lot of NativeScript development lately because I’ve found it to be a pretty nifty platform. If you’re unfamiliar with NativeScript, it is similar to Ionic Framework and React Native in a sense that you can use JavaScript to build iOS and Android mobile applications. I previously wrote about using the native device camera in Ionic Framework as well as using the native device camera in React Native. This time I figured it would be appropriate to do the same, but with Telerik NativeScript.

In this guide we’re going to see what it takes to take pictures with the native device camera using NativeScript and display the pictures on the screen.

With Angular development happening in full force, I figured it was time to take a break from Angular 1 and start thinking about what it takes to make the switch over to Angular. Like with most JavaScript powered applications you will have a single page composed of partial routes and views. I previously wrote about how to navigate with the AngularJS UI-Router, but in Angular things are pretty different.

Here we’re going to take a look at using routes and views to navigate within our Angular TypeScript application.

Previously I wrote how to properly test your Ionic Framework application and how to debug your application using ADB for Android. However, I get many questions from people regarding how to test their Apache Cordova, PhoneGap or Ionic Framework application running on iOS.

In this guide I’m going to walk through the steps for troubleshooting code using an iOS simulator and the Safari web browser.

In case you’re in the area and are interested, I will be in Atlanta, Georgia on October 16 and October 17 speaking at ConnectJS. This is a conference focusing on JavaScript development and mobile application development.

I will be giving two presentations titled Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Developing For Offline Mobile Experiences.

I’ve written a few tutorials regarding Node.js and the Express.js framework, but I never took a step back and explained how to make a super simple RESTful API for processing HTTP requests from a front-facing interface.

With this API created, you can use it with just about any application that can submit HTTP requests. It is a great way to test a mobile application or one that uses JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, ReactJS, or AngularJS.

Previously I wrote about using the device camera in your React Native mobile application. However, what if we wanted to go a step further and start scanning barcodes?

This is not a problem because the react-native-camera component we used in the last tutorial also supports barcode scanning.

In case you’re interested in seeing me present on Node.js or Ionic Framework and Couchbase, I’ll be giving two talks at the free to attend Silicon Valley Code Camp in San Jose, California. It is the weekend of October 3rd to October 4th.

The title of my talks are Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Cross Platform Storage & Sync with Couchbase and Ionic Framework. The abstracts for both these talks can be seen below.
