Hey all -
I have an app that requires on a lot of photos and has to operate disconnected. From everything I have seen I should be storing a reference to the file in my dbase and not the binary info. Makes sense.
I have service technicians, installers, sales people, supervisors and safety officers who can all take photos on a work site. Each of these functions records different data but we all need to see each others photos. So I built a UX that takes photos and stores them in a central photo database. Then in each of the different job functions when they need to take a photo they call the Photo_Take ux, it gets loaded in a panel, they take the photo and keep going. I am using arguments to pass on who took the photo and basic descriptions.
It works well and my photos are currently being stored on my alpha server (would like to do S3, but have had issues with file names) and I store the path in my file name field. All's good so far.
My issue comes when I want to retrieve the photos for viewing. My plan was to have a list control that was filtered by the locationID and bring up a list of photos that everyone has taken at that location. My issue is that when I try I cannot get the image to load in the list, I just get an image icon.
I reviewed Selwyn's videos and the examples he gives examples using PhoneGap. Can what I wan to do be achieved without PhoneGap?
Thanks in advance
Darren
