Mobile Camera App

Take pictures with your mobile and store them in Tulip with this simple camera and album app.

Purpose

With this Camera and Album mobile app you can take pictures with your mobile device and store them into a Table as your album. Retrieve those pictures from the table to use in your Tulip apps.

Setup

The app is fully functioning without any setup required. Just run the app in the Player and take a picture.

The app comes with a pre-built table (Log) Photos. As you can see in the picture, not all the Fields in the tables are used by default in the app:

How it works

The app consists of only four steps: Take Picture, Review and Save, Album, Photo View.

On Take Picture, the step prompts you to take a picture with your camera. Alternatively, you can click on Upload to use a picture already stored in your phone.

You then have the chance to review and save the picture taken and add any comments that you want to add to the table record about the picture.
