Answer 1

Try this out.

function getPhoto(source) {
    // Retrieve image file location from specified source
    navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
        destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType: source });
} 

function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {

    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(imageURI, gotFileEntry, failSystem);

}
function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
var gotFileEntry = function(fileEntry) {
   // alert(fileEntry.fullPath);
    console.log("got image file entry: " +  fileEntry.fullPath);
//convert all file to base64 formats
    fileEntry.file( function(file) {
//uncomment the code if you need to check image size
       //if(file.size>(1049576/2))
      // {
           //alert('File size exceeds 500kb');
          // return false;
      // }
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onloadend = function(evt) {
            console.log("Read complete!");
            $('yourimageidtoshow').attr('src',  evt.target.result);
        };
        reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    }, failFile);
};
var failSystem=function(){
    console.log('failed');

}
var failFile=function(){

    console.log('failed');
    throw "toobig";
};
