My App picks a picture previously stored in my smartphone.
Then it uploads the image via FTP. It works OK.
But I need to add to the filename the customer ID=“12345” like: “12345_20220305_070741.jpg” (20220305_070741.jpg been the name of the image as it is saved by the smartphone camera software).
I need a reliable way to do this as if I hard code some trick it may crash in the future as a result of some Android or camera software update.
Thanks
In one specific case I have:
path: \storage\emulated\0\DCIM\Camera\20220305_070741.jpg
I need to change the filename from 20220305_070741.jpg to 12345_20220305_070741.jpg
But I need to have this “12345_20220305_070741.jpg” loaded into a variable that will be stored with the purpose of composing the URL of this image once it is loaded via FTP into a web directory.
Only changing the filename without been able to get the filename separated from the path is not what I need.
And the user will not know the filename as he will only select an image from the gallery.
Thanks
I never used this block, but I’m pretty sure that an absolute path is required.
So there shouldn’t be any problem using this method.
Hi, may be I am not understanding your explanation.
I want to change the file name but I don’t have the name of the file the user selected.
All I have is “\storage\emulated\0\DCIM\Camera\20220305_070741.jpg”
I need this “20220305_070741.jpg”
I know of ways to do this but I am afraid Android or the camera software may change and “\storage\emulated\0\DCIM\Camera” may change in the future and render the app unusable.
So I am looking for an automated way to extract the file name only from the path.
May be there is another way that will be reliable enough on the long term.
Thanks
I was able to extract the filename with the global filename block above. Thanks

And how much does that help? To rename the file and upload this renamed file, you need to do something like this:
Here is a test APK (which renames the image, but does not upload the image):
pickRename.apk (5.5 MB)
