Camera

[TheBigDuck]

I have a very simple feature request.

Be able to take a picture within my mobile app so that I can then do what I wish with the image.

The moment this feature is available, please let me know.

Hi TheBigDuck,

it is available... NOW!

Well this is already available for at least a couple of versions:
-> iPhonePickPhoto
-> mobilePickPhoto

Check the "iOS/Android Release Notes" Menu: Help!

Hi Klaus,

Yes, but this requires the user to take pictures with the camera (using the iOS/Android app) and THEN use pickPhoto to select from gallery.

I want a BUTTON that my user can press that TAKES the PICTURE.

Hi Heinrich,

hmm, take a picture from WHERE?
"rear camera", "fron camera" or the generic "camera" keyword?

Sorry, I'm not getting it

Sorry Klaus,

Here is the work flow.

1. Customer launches app.
2. App has a button that takes a picture from the REAR (facing AWAY from the user) camera.
3. The image is then sent to a remote server.

Pretty simple.

I hope I made myself clear, and I sincerely thank you for your time in answering my questions.

Hi Heinrich,

AHA!

OK, here some pseudocode for this:

Code: Select all

on mouseup

   ## We will work BEHIND the curtains :-)
  lock screen

  ## 1. take picture
  iPhonePickPhoto "rear camera", 800,800

  ## 2. "export" image to a Variable as JPEG or whatever...
  export last image to tImageData as JPEG

  ## 3. Put on server
  put tImageData into url("ftp:// your FTP Server here...")

  ## OPTIONAL:
  ## check if upload was successfull and delete image in that case:
  if the result = empty then
    delete last image
  else
   ## ERROR of some kind, alert user or developer:
   answer "Error uploading! & CR & the result
 end if
end mouseup

I do not have an iOS license, so I cannot test this, but you get the picture

Funny, even if unintentional.

Love it, Klaus! Thanks for that!

All humor aside I don't think locking the screen will work. Do you want no video preview at all? It's possible that I could support this with my mergAV external. You should be able to create the control but not show it.

Cheers
