How to receive shared image and display it?

kartiktambi · March 2, 2020, 11:48am

@bodymindpower Can you explain your point?

Thanks!
P.S. I am getting 2 as the type.

vknow360 · March 2, 2020, 11:48am

That’s strange.
Can you try this:
file:/// + value

kartiktambi · March 2, 2020, 11:58am

@vknow360

Nope, still nothing. These are my blocks -

Thanks!

vknow360 · March 2, 2020, 12:03pm

No,not directly.
Use that block of FileTools and then use this as content uri:

P.s. if it does not works then you have to share some more information like app,android version,etc.

@vknow360 Still nothing appears. These are the blocks I’ve used -

Some miscellaneous specifications -

Device : Samsung Galaxy A50
Storage : 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage.
Android Version : 9 (Pie)

Note : I am testing this app through an APK.

Thanks!

Which gallery app are you using?

Boban · March 2, 2020, 1:15pm

SharedImage (7).apk (4.8 MB)

My confusion is slowly increasing.
So what can we learn from this APK?

kartiktambi · March 2, 2020, 1:34pm

The default one from Samsung’s One UI.

@Boban please explain to me too

Thanks!

vknow360 · March 2, 2020, 1:37pm

It is working for me.
Here is what I got:

P.S. I am also curious to know

Boban · March 2, 2020, 1:53pm

As I’m working/driving, the easiest was to post a APK for you to test if it works

bodymindpower · March 2, 2020, 1:55pm

Please show your blocks.
APK or Comanion, device / Android version?

bodymindpower · March 2, 2020, 1:59pm

The result from your APK is:
“Text for Label1” (nothing else is shown on Screen1)

vknow360 · March 2, 2020, 2:06pm

I tried this apk:

Companion

Device: Memu Android Emulator
Android Version: 5.1

Boban · March 2, 2020, 2:25pm

Hmm, and did you share a image to that App as that is what we are talking about here or trying to do

Boban · March 2, 2020, 2:39pm

Uri path is incomplete

SharedImage.aia (52.2 KB)

kartiktambi · March 2, 2020, 3:04pm

Thanks a lot, @Boban!

Thanks to @Boban’s method, and @vknow360’s FileTools , I now get the path to the image. These are my blocks -

The label displays -

/DCIM/Screenshots/20200229_10934.jpg

But, the image does not display anything. How should we display proper image from the path?
I want to display image on a image component.

Is this the perfect path to the file? -

file:///storage/DCIM/Screenshots/20200229_10934.jpg

Thanks!

vknow360 · March 2, 2020, 3:09pm

Actually FileTools is specially made to work together with File component. So it uses abstract file path not full path.
You have to use it like this:
/storage/emulated/0/ + path

Or you can use ‘GetPath’ or ‘GetFilePath’ method of FileTools.

kartiktambi · March 2, 2020, 3:27pm

Hi, @vknow360!
Thanks for your reply!

Do I need to attach " file:/// " before /storage … ?

Thanks!
