How to access the gallery in phonegap/android?

I am new to phonegap.

I do not know what is the procedure to access the gallery of the phone using javascript?

I did not find any related article regarding this .So,Please help me!!

EDIT VERSION

Well,While waiting for your answers I was trying with the example in the phonegap docs...

Well, this connects me to the GALLERY.

While Executing that program I found out that,pics that are taken from the app,does not get stored anywhere.

2 queries

query 1) That is i take pictures,...those are there....when i come and open the app for the 2nd time..no Pics(here I open the application twice)

query 2) Suppose, I select 1 photo from the gallery,now i want the other photo too...when i select the second the 1st one vanishes....(here I open the application once)

Where should I store the photos clicked from the app and HOW should I store --i mean the procedure to do it/method to be followed.

suggestions and solutions please!!

Hi these are the option you can use with the Camera Capture. i think when you set saveToPhotoAlbum to true it will save your images to photo Album that you can access later. but if you looking for multiple image upload at a time from gallery you can't do that. but you can upload the multiple image from the camera capture.

{ 
  quality : 75,
  destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
  sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
  allowEdit : true,
  encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
  targetWidth: 100,
  targetHeight: 100,
  popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
  saveToPhotoAlbum: false 
};

To store in the photo gallery the photos taken by the app, use the option saveToPhotoAlbum:

navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 40, allowEdit: true, destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI, **saveToPhotoAlbum: true** });

If you want to pick an image from your photo gallery, check the "Full Example" of phonegap api : camera.getPicture

There is a camera option which allows you to take a photo from gallery (PHOTOLIBRARY)

Camera.PictureSourceType = {
    PHOTOLIBRARY : 0,
    CAMERA : 1,
    SAVEDPHOTOALBUM : 2
};

You have to write plugins for specific platforms, and call them, so you'll have to go native for that
