How to use with local image

[idmadj]

On iOS, first add the cordova-plugin-file plugin (cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file), then:

declare var cordova: any;

PhotoViewer.show(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www/image.jpg");

On Android, the URL returned by applicationDirectory won't work with PhotoViewer, but you can probably use File.readAsDataURL and pass the output string to PhotoViewer.show to leverage the base64 functionality.

Something like :

File.readAsDataURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www/", "image.jpg")
    .then((dataURL:string) => {PhotoViewer.show(dataURL)})

See https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file

Hi Im using the base 64 functionality but it crashes on some device. Is there another way around this?

@JoelAH You might running into a memory issue depending on how large the image file is...

This Code Works for Me!

this.file.readAsDataURL(this.file.applicationDirectory + "www/assets/imgs/", "1.jpg").
then((dataURL:string) => {this.photoViewer.show(dataURL)})
