Take a picture and upload to SQLITE

[cactuscraig]

Anybody have sample code, if possible:
1) Take picture from within App
2) Then upload it to a SQLITE DB.

Thanks in advance

I don't have code for that but I'm almost positive that I've seen that posted on these forums before. You should look around for it.

I read some code on here and tried it and it takes 10+ seconds to save to sqlite after image is taken. This kills any use of it in a functioning app. Never figured any other way of saving and accessing images either that did not work smoothly.

Yeah, the serialization it has to do is expensive, so I'm not surprised. Saving to the documents folder and just saving pathnames in the db would be MUCH faster.

Can you explain how to save pathname? I'm not sure how to get it.

If it's been saved to the apps documents folder you can get to it with relative path names so you just need the file name basically and you can call up the image. See this thread:

So, I see now - imageObj is actually NKImage and I can use
imageObj.savetoDocuments("me.jpg");
