How to use a web directory in my app

I have a folder on my web of images that I want the app to list and select from there, how can it be done?

you could have a php script there, for examle see Q5 here App Inventor Tutorials and Examples: Webprefetch File by File | Pura Vida Apps and call it using the web component

from what I saw apart from giving you the dir of the folder, you have to address each file. I look for it to be listed alone or just one randomly selected so as not to have to update the app every time I change images

This is reference how you can fetch data you can modify script according to you.

Create an API and list images with the help of that API. :wink:

Good morning, sorry for repeating the query but I think I did not understand correctly, excuse me, I use an online translator because English is not my language. On my web server I have a folder with images that I want to use in the app, I change the images from time to time and I would like to know if you can somehow list the files in that folder instead of putting them one by one, since each time q change them should change the links of the app. I saw the option of ftp but I don’t really understand how it works. Someone told me to use api, but I don’t know how it works. The viewflipper works perfect with individual addresses, if there was a way to get the addresses out of a folder it would be more practical to change the images. I await your comments. thank you very much for your help

I merged your topics. Don’t double post.
