If someone can explain simply (Like a tutorial), how to get a photo from the camera to the appery database ready for use, it would be very appreciated.

I've tried piecing together bits and pieces from the other tutorials about using the camera and file upload, but it's not going well.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

We're working on it. Will update soon.

Part 1.
1) Create new Database: PhotoDB
2) Add collection: photo
3) Add columns:

• photo: String

• Name: String
  Part 2.
  1) Create project

• add Button -- with name takephoto

• add Image -- photopreview

• add Button -- savedb

• add List -- photolist

  • remove all items except one

• add Label to the last list item --photoname_label

• add Camera device service -- mobilecamera1

• add database service for "PhotoDB" --

• set service rights for Create (PhotoDB_photos_create_service) and List (PhotoDB_photos_list_service) items in collection "photo"
  2) Create service camera_shot for CameraService
  Map Response:

• imageDataBase64 to Asset property "photopreview" component

• imageDataBase64 to new localStorage variable "photo_buffer"
  Now you can create photo and save it to localStorage.
  3) Create create_service based on PhotoDB_photos_create_service:
  Map Request:

• photoname.Text to Name in Request

• photo_buffer from localStorage to photo in Request
  4) Create list_service based on PhotoDB_photos_list_service:
  Map response

• $ to photolist

• Name to photoname_label.Text
  5) Create Click Event for "savedb" -- invoke create_service and then invoke list_service
  6) Create Load Event for startPage -- invoke list_service

  Now you can test simple application that take shot, show preview and saves it to database.

Worked perfectly, great support guys!

Great tutorial it helps a lot.

Excellent tutorial and solution.

So easy to upload the photos and attach an own reference no (e.g. order no) into your collection and then easy to download automatically into your ERP system if is the case.
Just simple query the collection and get your photos !!!!!

Was looking for this solution for a good couple of months.
