  • a rough guess tbh based on my past use of camera functions, but i don't think it would be possible due to security restrictions.

    internal camera permissions are pretty similar for most devices, so it is easy for construct to prompt the user permissions needed for camera access of that device. but it would be hard to adapt it to suit requesting permissions for so many different external devices out there such as otg cables.

    Best chance would be seeing if there's any way to use the javascript function to somehow recognise the otg, but again the permissions could be an issue.

    might be worth posting in the javascript threads, see if anyone has a solution.

    hope it works out.

    user can hold on the post for menu to appear offering share and download options

    effect used on right side image is inverse.

  • Hey, I'm working on a text and image app for making memes, profile pics, 4chan themed greentext posts.

    Users can upload an image/multiple images depending on which layout they choose, and include text or make it a text only post. with effects available on both the images and the text, with BBcode included too.

    They click and take a snapshot, with the post then available to share across their social media or download for use later.

    Was thinking of including video record type function but result is WEBM only, which isn't supported by many social media platforms.

    attached: example draft of Layout 3, showing the text area and user buttons, with 2 image areas situated above the text area.

    buttons shown include image select, Snap for taking snapshot, and lists for both image effects and theme list to choose different background colours.

  • wowwowwwowwahhwow!!

    i think i may have cracked it!, i have been going insane trying to figure this out, and finally i have managed it.

    Previously i would click File Selectand get the message "Not enough memory to perform this operation", whenever i tried to select the camera (device's camera), Not "User Media" plugin.

    so i tried the following and it worked.

    1. open your device's camera
    1. access settings
    1. change resolution to a smaller one
    1. now open a preview of your app, and click "File Selector
    1. choose your device camera and it should then work, including flash

  • Hi,

    i am making an android app where the user can share images and text via a screenshot function, so i'm just wondering as a possible extra feature.

    is there a way i can enable the user to make a clickable link which will still work in the jpeg created when they activate the screenshot function in the app?, similar to what can be done on instagram.

  • Not a single answer?

    man i feel your pain. now 2020 and i'm looking for answer to this exact question for the 3rd time and still nothing at all yet from anyone.

  • hi.

    the app i'm building can access both front and rear camera, and takes pictures no problem.

    but, when taking pictures, there doesn't seem to be any way in construct to use the camera flash for when pictures are taken at night etc.

    anyone have any ideas on this?

    thanks

  • Hi Ashley would you have any ideas on this??

    thanks

  • Hi

    so the app i'm making for Android Phones, i have managed to sort access to both user & Enviroment facing cameras.

    but while it takes the pictures no problem, it takes it normally so only really effective when it's light.

    is there a way to work using the cameras flash into it??

    Thanks

  • Hey :)

    so the app i'm currently working on, involves screenshot feature, it works great and the shot downloads to my android device without issue.

    what i'm stuck on is a way to make the button used to take snapshot repeat this each time it is pressed.

    i've tried, destroy when pushed and create new one, tried restart layout after download, but still the button which triggers it is void after first shot taken.

    any suggestions please?

  • strange, seems it was down to the scanner app i was using to read the qr code for remote preview.

    changed it to the qr scanner use on my phone and it worked just fine

  • my bad lol sorry. here's the code i have for snapshot, not sure if it's an extra function i need to add in for bigger phones or it's a permission needing activated on other device

  • Hey

    i've added snapshot function to my app and when tested it on my mobile device it captured it perfectly then automatically downloaded the shot to my phone gallery.

    buuuuuut!! the joy soon faded in to frustration.

    i've now tested it on a mobile with bigger screen than mine, i go to press the button which has been triggering the snapshot, then boom nothing happens at all.

    any ideas what can be causing this??

    thanks
