Gallery Images not visable

Posted on by radtadBrad

I'm just getting into PowerApps, and i've been trying to create a simple list of items. I created a sharepoint list with all of the information, and everything shows up on the app screen like I want. However, the image for each item is not visible. I have the images stored in a sharepoint folder. I also tried to store them in my onedrive folder, and it still didn't work. Any suggestion? When i test the image on my sharepoint list, it is clearly visible. I'm hoping that it's something simple that i'm overlooking. Thanks for the help. - Brad

Hi Brad,

In your SharePoint list, how is the Picture column configured? Where are the pictures from? Do you save the pictures in a SharePoint Picture library?

I have a SharePoint list with a Picture column, and the pictures come from two places. One comes from SharePoint Picture library, the other one comes from Internet.
>When I fill the Image Address which comes from Picture library, the picture can be shown in the list, but it cannot be displayed on the App.
>When I fill the Image Address which comes from Internet, the picture can be shown in the list, and can also be shown on the App.
The link of the picture form Internet:
https://static.pexels.com/photos/4825/red-love-romantic-flowers.jpg

We can add data from a SharePoint custom list but not a library, so the pictures come from Picture library cannot be shown on an App. This article could be a reference for you:

With the connection to OneDrive, we could store Excel table in it and use the Excel data in our App. So if you could save your pictures in your Excel file with the right format, the pictures would be shown on your App. This article could be a reference for you:

I realize this is probably being worked on, however, does anyone have a date of completion for the support of native sharepoint media in the poweapp?

I've engaged a Microsoft person to find out when the ability to add images to a SharePoint library via PowerApps would be available. He did not have a date, but advised that it is in development. He also suggested I use OneDrive and Flow. I can upload an image to OneDrive for Business with PowerApps, but having trouble with displaying the images in the Gallery once they are uploaded.

I've not tried Flow yet (want the Gallery to work first), but when a photo url is loaded into an excel file on OneDrive, and is given an ID, which looks to be unique to that folder. I would think Flow can do something with that, just not sure how delayed it may be. We are using O365, I'll update you once and if I get the app working.
