i am trying to create a block where we can input a image and return it as path.
@SimpleProperty(
category = PropertyCategory.ASSET)
public void Picture(String image) {
return picturePath;
}
i want to get the image path and store it in a variable.
sur @Mohamed_Tamer kindly have a look here
Do you mean an assets image ?
Also, for questions about extension development you should ask in the app Inventor community:
I Am Using Like This Without Any Extra Implement 
You Can Try
@SimpleFunction(description = "")
public String Get(String img){
String file = "/mnt/sdcard/Makeroid/assets/" + img;
if(file.contains(".jpg")) {
if (file.exists()) {
String file = "/mnt/sdcard/Makeroid/assets/" + img;
} else {
String file = "/mnt/sdcard/AppInventor/assets/" + img;
}
elseif(file.contains(".png")) {
if (file.exists()) {
String file = "/mnt/sdcard/Makeroid/assets/" + img;
} else {
String file = "/mnt/sdcard/AppInventor/assets/" + img;
}
}
}
That code would work only with the companion 
However, it depends on how @AryanGupta would use it.
Yes It’s Depend On Use It’s Was Just For Example
i only want to input a image from assets and set the image of a component .
You can use openAssetForExtension method which would return an InputStream from the assets name :
InputStream in;
try{
in = container.$form().openAssetForExtension(this, "myAssetName.png");
} finally {
in.close();
}
NOTE: this code would work only when using UsesAssets annotation. If you want to open any file from the app assets use:
AssetManager am = context.getAssets();
InputStream in = am.open("myAssetName.png");
And then you can use BitmapFactory class to decode this inputStream into a Bitmap:
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
Now you can set your image image to this bitmap:
image.getView().setImageBitmap(bmp); // you need get the imageView from the Image.
sur @Mohamed_Tamer please give me a reply
You would need to copy the assets to the external storage if you need to return the path to the user, however, you can get its input stress described above and use it with your extension
does this need any import and myAssetName name must include .jpg or .png or not.
and how to use @UsesAssets method
It should include the file extension.
See here:
does kodular support this Annotation
please mention all the imports
and what does bmp returns
Yes, the form class.
As far I know yes, as it’s used in the maps component.
It’s a Bitmap
give me a example
