Hi!

I'm needing help developing this idea i have. I have a collection which has a column called Imagen1:"im_imagen1" that stores an image from an AddMediaButton.

I can display the image using an Image control with "im_imagen1.Image". But now, I would want to have a button that when i click it, the app opens that image in a new browser tab.

Will i be able to download that image in that browser tab?

Thanks!

Hi @LautaroLopez

You said you are adding the image to a collection? Is there any chance that you could attach the URL instead and then use the Launch(url) function?

Of you could have the image in the Image control, but in the OnClick or OnSelect you could use Launch(Url) from your collection?

Hi @FLMike !
Yes, i'm uploading images from the phone camera to an AddMediaControl and then saving that image to a collection called colItemsDeInspeccion.

So, i don't have the image's url. Is there a way to generate one so i could use the launch function?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @LautaroLopez

I am sorry to say, the answer is no. I know you hate that answer, but that is the answer.

You HAVE to store in OneDrive or SharePoint or Blob or Dropbox etc and then use the Link to share it or if you have the link, you can use the Download() function in your Canvas App to their local machine, but it must be in a place that is "url-able" yes I made up that tuerm

I am sorry :-(.
