Attachment Control on Mobile "Take Photo" takes user out of app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 23

I've created an attachment control to allow file uploads but on mobile it also asks users if they would like to take a picture.

A good by-product but when selected it takes you out of the app to the camera.

After taking a picture it returns to the start-up screen rather than the form they were on.
I need to fix the camera or turn it off

    Hi @Spectra ,

     

    I made a test and did not find this issue. After using Attachments control and taking a picture the App returned to the Edit Screen as usual.

     

    Please check if anyone has changed the OnAddFile property:

    Hope this helps.

    No, nothing OnAddFile I have a attachment control in another section with the same behavior


    If I go to the camera and hit back it does return to the app in the form I was in.
    But if I take a picture and select "OK" it refreshes the App. Sometimes it doesn't even take me back into the correct app.

    Either this function needs improvement or an ability to remove it.
    Users will be incredibly frustrated when it doesn't work and they lose what they have already input

    Hi @Spectra ,

     

    It is recommended that you try to use other brands or models of mobile phones to test your App. If the application runs normally on other phones, then we can know that the problem is on the phone.

    Yes the same behavior exists on other phones I've tried but since only corporate use phones are allowed GS9 is my only phone type allowed

    Hi @Spectra ,

     

    But there is no GS9 equipment on my hand could be used to test the control. Is it possible for you to use other types of mobile phones to apply for a temporary test permit?
