Is there anyway to get time and other meta-data from a photo in the camera roll?

I would like to know when the chosen photo was taken. Is this exposed anywhere that I am missing?

Thanks, Allen

Corona SDK does not have any API’s to read metadata from an image.  There is probably native SDK’s that Corona Enterprise could use to get the data.  You can also save the image file to your system.TemporaryDirectory folder and then do file IO operations to read the image and find and parse the meta data yourself using Corona SDK.

please share how would I use meta-data to change the Android Manifest so my app can include: android:largeScreens=“true”

android:xlargeScreens=“true”

where would I place it?

thanks, Rob!

@mkelly, this thread is about reading EXIF and IPTC data from image files.  It has nothing to do with the Android Manfiest file.  Can you please post a new topic for this so we don’t hijack this thread?

Thanks
