Add attachment without form node

[IsaiahAguilera]

I have a mobile phonegap application that has access to the devices camera.  I am trying to take a photo and use the addAttachments method to upload the selected captured image.  My problem is this method only allows for a input type file as the source.  Unfortunately phonegap does not support input file types and I have to upload the captured image directly.  Is there a way to add attachments without using the form type input.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isaiah,

     glad to hear you got it working.  I believe some of these classes are newer functionality that might not be available on older browsers, so please make sure your target browser(s) will support them.

good luck,

John

HI Isaiah,

I manage to get the solution work in phonegap.

But in order to get it work with older webkit such as Jelly bean & before, I have to switched to blobbuilder instead of blob construct.

And replacing blobbuilder to blob, I keep getting "internal server error" log from my arcgis server manager when attempting to addattahcment.

I checked the files in arcgisuploads > scratch folder and fould out that the file size is 0KB, with name of {fileid}.uploads.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Does this mean the files is corrupted ?

I can still see/view the files that are uploaded successfully with blob construct.

thanks,
