You can adjust the TakePicture action to return the base64 image data. The TakePictureAdvanced already returns a Mendix object with meta data, usually with base64 processing you also need the dimensions. You can duplicate the JS action and the ImageMetaData entity to your own module and change them. You need an unlimited string attribute for the bas64 data and fill that in the JS action.
Easier approach would be if you could take pictures with the default TakePicture action, synchronize the images to the backend and use CommunityCommons.Base64EncodeFile in a microflow to get the base64 encoded data. Again, you might need the width/height. TakePictureAdvanced returns these as well.
Hi Marcel,
Thank you for the reply!
So, I tried calling a microflow from a nanoflow and passing the image as parameter, however I get an error because my entity is persistable (because it is System.Image) and it is not allowed on pages accessible through native profile. I have my microflow with the Java action from CommunityCommons but I can’t pass the image to it because of this error.
I tried using TakePictureAdvanced but all that metadata includes is:
As of the JS action I tried changing it and nothing work I get errors in my phone app and nothing in my Mendix console log.
Any further help or resources that I can look into?
