Set camera width and height phonegap camera

Question

I am currently in the process of creating a mobile app that uses the Phonegap (Cordova) camera plugin. It correctly captures the image and displays it where I want to, but I can't seem to set the targetWidth and targetHeight options, as described.

targetWidth: Width in pixels to scale image. Must be used with targetHeight. Aspect ratio remains constant. (Number)

targetHeight: Height in pixels to scale image. Must be used with targetWidth. Aspect ratio remains constant. (Number)

As I understand, this will change the image-width and height on output. They, however, don't seem to be working.

A suggestion that I found while researching for a solution, said to use the optional parameter allowEdit. In this I could get the user to select a pre-set squared image. This however, doesn't seem to work either.

See my code below for reference.

camera: function() {
    //Fire up the camera!
    navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, {
        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
        allowEdit: true,
        targetWidth: 512,
        targetHeight: 512
    });
},

Neither of the attemps succeeded in what I wanted; a fixed width and height for the image captured.

How can I set the image width and height on this image?

Try this one my friend. remove allowEdit : true

camera: function() {
        navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, {
            quality: 50,
            targetWidth: 512,
            targetHeight: 512,
            destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType. DATA_URL,
            saveToPhotoAlbum: true,
            correctOrientation: true
        });
    }
