Implement capture attribute for input elements

[macdonst]

Make sure we can use the capture attribute to get audio, image or video data.

This could replace:

• cordova-plugin-camera
• cordova-plugin-media-capture
• and the recording section of https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media

Also, want to see how getUserMedia/Stream influences this.

[macdonst]

We've created a new plugin at: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-media-stream

That enables users to use getUserMedia on Android. For iOS it is more difficult but we've implemented the JS side of things so users can request a media stream and pass it to the Image Capture API.

This would be really awesome. If you can get capture working on android(using capture to open camera)

@awebdeveloper have you looked at:

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-media-stream
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-image-capture

yup, but nothing beats <input type="file" capture ........> when i want to support upload + capture scenario

[HarelM]

@awebdeveloper Did you find something that can handle <input type="file" capture ........> for cordova?

[awebdeveloper]

apparently android doesn't support it. search on Cordova's jira you will find someone who has a fork that supports it
