Viewing Large Images - Android

[Googie85]

Hi Guys,

I have solved my last problem and I am unsure of how to delete the post as it is now unnecessary. I'm just going to throw this next question out there to see what my options are. I have a large image resolution size (1920 X 1080) and I want to display it on a mobile phone display. Could I use a Browser widget so that I can "pinch to zoom"? Or could I launch the Gallery viewer on my phone so that I could pinch to zoom with that app?

Just after a few suggestions on which route I could take to view the file on a smaller screen...

Many Thanks,

Googie.

Hi Googie,

yes, using a browser for this should automatically supply the "pinch zoom" feature on mobile!

Thanks Klaus!!!

How would I load it into the browser?

File:specialfolderpath(resources) & slash & "image.jpeg"

or just,

specialfolderpath(resources) & slash & "image.jpeg"

or is there another way I should be aware of, because I'm pretty sure I have tried both of those. Will be home soon and will try again.

Many Thanks,

Googie.

I'm thinking that the browser can only access the files in the phone's storage file system and not "specialfolderpath(resources) & slash & "image.jpeg"" would I be correct?

Hii Googie,

create a browser and set its URL:

Code: Select all

...
## we need to create a valid URL for the file:
put "file://" & specialfolderpath(resources) & "/image.jpeg" into tImage

## URLS do not like SPACES, so we need to avoid them:
replace " " with "%20" in tImage
set the url of browser "your browser widget here..." to tImage
...

I'm thinking that the browser can only access the files in the phone's storage file system and not "specialfolderpath(resources) & slash & "image.jpeg"" would I be correct?

No.
Otherwise we could not use any files/folders that we add via the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone Application Settings" in our runtimes!

Best
