Ill try and give Savvy a bit of a hand here. I might be able to help you with an answer.

1. The app can be located anywhere, does not need to be in dropbox.

2. Depending on the option you choose in the dropbox plugin you are either prompted on startup of the app or when you call the login function. You are then rerouted to a site hosted by dropbox which will ask the user if they want to allow the app to connect to there dropbox.

If you do not have a dropbox account the site you are rerouted to will tell you how to create one.

3. As for information about the user needing a dropbox account it is up to youself how you want to display it. But they will diffidently notice once they are asked to log in to there dropbox account :-)

Hope that clarifies your question.

Yeah i also think its a dead end for now.

There are more options actually.

1. The user could copy images into the app folder in dropbox

2. or you could set the access to "all dropbox" instead of app folder and then access the photos folder in the users dropbox.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that wouldnt work either.

I know i wrote "my dropbox" but i meant the users dropbox. So creating an mobile app which can display images from the users own dropbox account and not my own.

Sorry if i did not make myself clear.

I want to e.g. display 4 random fotos from my dropbox photo folder inside my app (a photo i took with my camera and uploaded to dropbox).

I do not need to manipulate them(maybe in size though when displaying) but just to display them.

yeah... that was what i was afraid of.

I was hoping to build an app which used the images which is already present in dropbox.

And since its supposed to be a mobile app the drag and drop zone thing is not a valid option. Then again it would not be my intention that the user would have to drag all the images into the app to be able to use them.

Thanks for the example Savvy

Very well commented and easy to understand I might add :-)

One question though. I might have misunderstood it, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong :-)

The example you are giving here stores a text file in the dropbox folder.

And the image comes from the client side.

Is it possible to load an image which is already in the dropbox. One which is not necessarily "created" by the client, but one which already resides in the dropbox.

So basically what i am asking, if i have a picture in the dropbox folder already. Can I display it in my app? (maybe I should just have started with that question :-)

Something like extracting the base64 from the dropbox image. or whatever would make it work.

septeven i was thinking exactly the same :-)

That sounds great. I will see if i can make it work. But as septeven said. If you have the time, an example capx would be very much appreciated.

OK.

I would be an awesome feature if the plugin could do that.

I had totally missed the Dropbox plugin. Just what i needed... thx Kyatric

Hi Septeven

First of all this looks like a very nice plugin.

I have one question though..

How would you go about it if the file from dropbox was an image you wanted to insert in your construct 2 app?

Ok.

Thank you for the answer.

Its a feature you should consider in the future ;-)

Hi

Is it possible with CocoonJS or appmobi(or in another way) to access the images which are located on e.g. an iPhone or an Android phone?

If you wanted to use images in your construct 2 app which the user has captured with there phone.

Could that be done?

On the cocoonJS ipad app there is a demo (Videopuzzle) which does take an image and use it.

Any ideas?
