myMedia Module

A hacked version of Ti.Media so that Ti.Media.openPhotoGallery provides location and EXIF data in the success callback

Description

This module was created to be used in place of Ti.Media.openPhotoGallery when location and EXIF data is needed from the Photo Gallery.

Accessing the mymedia Module

1. Make sure the path to your Titanium Mobile SDK in titanium.xcconfig is correct. The ~ denotes your home directory. You may have to remove the ~ if the SDK is not installed there.

   TITANIUM_SDK = ~/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/$(TITANIUM_SDK_VERSION)

2. Build the module:

   ./build.py

3. Copy my.media-iphone-X.X.zip (where X.X is the version) to the ROOT of your project (same directory as tiapp.xml)

4. Add the module to the tiapp.xml file:

   <modules>
       <module platform="iphone" version="0.1">my.media</module>
   </modules>

5. To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:

   var mymedia = require("my.media");

The mymedia variable is a reference to the Module object.
