How to add capture attribute to FileItem

[JohnH]

Hi,
how can I add the attribute "capture" to a FileItem?
<input type="FILE" ... class="uploadItem" multiple capture>

Is this possible, maybe with a workaround?

I would like to open the camera instantly on mobile devices.

Any hints are appreciated.

We're looking into adding a setting to do this, but right now it would take an unsupported DOM-level hack to add the attribute.

Thank you very much.
In the meantime I'll help myself with javascript via JSNI and add the attribute to the generated FileItem.
I'm looking forward to a direct implementation in SmartGwt.

Hello, any news in this regard?

Sorry for the delay on this. The new attribute, FileItem.capture, has been added to support this functionality. It will be available in tomorrow's builds, starting on September 8th.

Take a look at the documentation of the new attribute in order to know how to use it with FileItems and UploadItems.
