Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: Image capture in list control

    I've gone through the same process you have... using the download sample. With a couple of necessary changes, it works under both Android (Kit-Kat) and iOS.

    The Action Image Capture for List-Detail view needs to be changed from HTML to PhoneGap. I haven't tried the PhoneGap Preferred option yet.

    The PhoneGap Build URL for ajax callbacks must be correct... and the component must be published.

      Just a side note. I have been using the HTML5 image capture with android 4.3 and the built in browser and it works well. No phonegap.

        Re: Image capture in list control

        Have tried this on my nexus 7 which has Android 4.4.4 and still the same, will not save a picture. Saves the location/description fields fine.

        When I take a picture I press the tick box to accept but nothing shows in the image field and the record is not dirty until I type in either of the other 2 fields!

        Frank, as stated above if I abandon phonegap and publish this as a a web page and access through my URL it all works.

          Since your app is the one from Selwyn's video... and you use the same table... then zip and post your UX here. Also zip the PhoneGap Build Project Folder and post it here. I'll put it into my project and have a look.

            Hi David, Thanks for looking.

            The UX was a straight download from the release notes, but I have attached mine here just in case something has happened in the download (although I doubt this because I have created another UX with the same results).

            The phonegap url is set to 10.1.5.5 for local server testing at the moment, I have tried this with our external ip address as well which is http://164.xx.xxx.x (not sure if I should put that on here or not!)

              Re: Image capture in list control

              There are 4 mistakes I usually make when working with PhoneGap.

              1. UX Security
              2. A Working AJAX Callback URL
              3. Publishing the component
              4. Ensuring I've got the Plugins I need

              I your case... assuming 1,2,and 3 are good... then I believe including the File and File Transfer Plugins will solve your issues.

              Using your UX, but plugging in my PhoneGap credentials and my URL I do not get an image showing.

              Then... checking the File and File Transfer Plugins in the Alpha/PhoneGap dialog... all is good.

              When I'm using my local server for testing, I ensure I've got the port in there as well, because my local server is running on port 81. As well, I'm publishing to a folder under A5Webroot... so my Ajax Callback URL is http://192.168.1.104:81/AlphaTest

                Re: Image capture in list control

                Thanks David. It was the File and File Transfer plugins that did it. I hope this helps others who have missed this.

                I now realise why I follow you on youtube, your attention to detail is brilliant!

                  Re: Image capture in list control

                  Good news, I saw this topic before I started a new version of my app, having waited for the disconnected feature set for quite awhile. So I carefully followed these instructions and set up my PhoneGap version.
                  Bad news: I STILL ran into the same problem Lance did, and my File and File Transfer plugins were correctly setup, I think. I wonder if there are other optional plugins I should be checking to add - currently I am using NONE of the "Required Third Party PhoneGap Plugins". I am selecting for Android only, the initial UX Component is the standard login component, and my URL for all Ajax Callbacks is a folder off the A5Webroot, like you guys :)
                  I can take a photo any time and save it; it is when I try to synchronize with the server the photo disappears. All the other fields in the MySQL database record are saved and synced correctly,

                  I see tonight there is a new update software version; don't know what it fixes or adds, though :(

                  Any ideas on getting this to work would be much appreciated.

                    Hi Simon,

                    First thing to check can you synch in working preview and save a photo from your computer to the database?

                      Re: Image capture in list control

                      Thanks for that, Lance. I had been in Working Preview during the early development phase and had no problem doing that. Then when I moved into the PhoneGap phase I stopped and ran into the "no photo update". Now, in Working Preview I am throwing a JS error, which I don't see in the PhoneGap version. I'l check it out, maybe that is the source of my error.

                        Well, regardless of the JS error I'm throwing in Working Preview, it appears that my problem has been a bug that was corrected in the latest (today's) update. Wish I had known...
