i want to develop a mobile app for capturing image from camera for android and ios operating systems, need guidance regarding how to get started and what tools to use or any sample code from those who have worked on this functionality in mvc3?
First off I assume you are using PhoneGap to build an HTML5/JavaScript/CSS application and compile to native phone libraries? Because Javascript/jQuery/jQuery mobile cannot access the phone using just a mobile web app as of the date of this post.
So for a rundown on the tools, I would use MVC4 as it gets closer to the HTML5 markup you are going to need. You can still use jQuery and jQuery Mobile. And you still use CSS.
But then you can get access to the platform (camera, hardware-specific items like the handset unique identifier, etc.) using the PhoneGap API - which is a Javascript API.
This is a big topic. See these sources to get started:

Hi,
Yeah! With out PhoneGap framework, i think it's not possible! Since web applications can't access the Native functions of the device!
Hope it helps u...
