Phonegap : Camera view with background image

Question

I am using Phonegap with Sencha Touch to get camera functionality. But instead of the default camera view, I want a picture with transparent background to be overlaid upon t

Answer 1

It can be achieved but it requires a bit of native code and a simple trick.

You need to set the phonegap container to transparent, and also add a surface behind your phonegap container.

You use native code to initialize the camera view and then phonegap renders atop of it.
