Has anybody got the camera api working on service portal?

[andro]

I'am planning to use the barcode widget for one of my portal page. Has anybody got the "cabrillo.camera.getBarcode()" api working?

Hello Swarup,

I have personally not have used it yet. Here is a thread that may be of help Service Portal - barcode scanning

Cheers,

We're currently working on official Cabrillo documentation. Here is an example of the getBarcode() API. Please note that this is not official documentation. https://gist.github.com/wlisac/6122145d473b998f3748089982fa70fe

Also, Cabrillo JS APIs are only supported when executing in ServiceNow's native mobile apps. You should use cabrillo.isNative(); to determine if Cabrillo is executing in a native context.

Cabrillo is explicitly unavailable from GlideForm client scripts.

Thanks,

Will

Also — make sure Cabrillo is available in your widget script. Cabrillo JS is easily available in AngularJS as an injectable parameter. For example, you can inject Cabrillo inside of a Service Portal widget's client script.

function(cabrillo) {

      var c = this;

      // Used to determine if Cabrillo is executing in ServiceNow's native mobile apps.

      c.isNative = cabrillo.isNative();

}

Thanks Will. The information really helpful.

My requirement was to get this thing working on ipad device to capture images while submitting an incident and i got it working through the native servicenow app (on service portal / ticket conversation widget). The attachment widget detects device and gives option to open camera and click.
