Camera

The camera plugin provides access to the device's camera in order to take pictures. This plugin also allows you to pick images from the device's image library.

In order to use the camera in our Apache Cordova project, we need to use the following cordova plugin add command:

> cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-camera.git
