Consists of the Media object that enables taking pictures with a camera, as well as recording and playing audio clips.
The object can be accessed using the launchbox.Media reference.
The API preserves any information it retrieves, in case Hybrid Container gets stopped by the Android operating system. Once the external activity finishes, the main activity is restarted and Hybrid Container notifies the user about further steps. The user may decide to re-capture the information or use the preserved data.
