Ionic webapp: input field file upload

1
votes

I am currently building a web app with ionic

in the input field, I need to upload a photo either from the camera or select from the gallery. the code I am using is

<ion-item>
              <input type="file" accept="image/*;capture=camera" name="imagefile"  
(change)="changeListener($event)">
            </ion-item>

however, on the PC, it shows the file browser, but on the mobile phone (android & ios), it just uses the camera. there is no option to select images from the image gallery.

I tried removing the capture=camera part, but still, it only calls out the camera on mobile devices. Is there any way to be able to select files from the device gallery?

Hope this is helpful and please update your findings here.
