Cloudinary JQuery support for direct image upload on Android 4.4.2

With known issue in Android 4.4.2, an input type=file does not get triggered to open the file picker (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62220)

Is there another method besides augmentation of a file input html element to do direct image upload to Cloudinary?

  Hi Chris,

  You can always perform image uploads using native code:

  Yes, but I am looking for a solution that works with my current product which is built through PhoneGap. I would need to be able to do this through JavaScript. 

  Any other solution for that, or is the Cloudinary JQuery script just broken for Android 4.4.2?

  I am OK with performing the file uploads directly through javascript myself, but am unable to find sufficient documentation to do so. 

  Thanks -Chris

  We currently don't have PhoneGap integration. You can take a look other JS based libraries for a good starting point:

  https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_npm

  https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_triggerio

  https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_titanium

  Also, you might want to consider looking into Unsigned uploads, or the Parse module to solve the signature part.

  Thanks - I do have it working already on iPhone and Android with the exception of Android v4.4.2 using the Cloudinary JQuery lib. 

  I was trying to avoid having to reverse engineering the file upload headers, but I will just fiddle it and figure it out

   

  Thanks

  Hi Chris, did you figure this out? I cannot upload from stock Android Browser on 4.X

  This seems to be a Phonegap issue.
  The following SO answer suggests that it works in an iFrame:
