Collect Image from Form

[anupamdatt]

I have done made offline bar code. Implementation process followed as given in below link

https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/implementing-offline-capability-in-your-app/

Although everything is working except my form is collecting photos from form while offline.

Code for submit button - on Select

If(Connection.Connected,SubmitForm(Form2); Refresh(Table1); ClearCollect(BarcodeCollection,Table1);
SaveData(BarcodeCollection,"DataInLocalStorage")
,
Collect(DataToBeAdded,{Barcode:DataCardValue8.Text, Brand:Dropdown3.Selected.Value, Date:DataCardValue11.Text,Press:Dropdown2.Selected.Value, Tear_off:DataCardValue14.Text, Reel_End:DataCardValue13.Text, RS:Dropdown3.Selected.Value,image:Image4.Image} ); SaveData(DataToBeAdded, "newDataInLocalStorage"));

Navigate(Browse_Screen,ScreenTransition.Cover)

When offline image is not getting collected only blank comes up.

Hi @anupamdatt 

Firstly your offline code

Collect(
   DataToBeAdded,
   {
      Barcode:DataCardValue8.Text, 
      Brand:Dropdown3.Selected.Value, 
      Date:DataCardValue11.Text,
      Press:Dropdown2.Selected.Value, 
      Tear_off:DataCardValue14.Text, 
      Reel_End:DataCardValue13.Text, 
      RS:Dropdown3.Selected.Value,
      image:Image4.Image
   }
);
SaveData(
   DataToBeAdded, 
   "newDataInLocalStorage"
   )
)
Navigate(
   Browse_Screen,
   ScreenTransition.Cover
)

stores Image4.Image in Collection DataToBeAdded. Without seeing where you are getting this from , it is valid syntax for storing an image from an Image Control, so the first thing to check is what is arriving in the collection so change your logic to !Connection.Connected and remove the SaveData and then look in View > Collections to see if there is anything in the image field (that also is not a good name for a field - it is a Reserved Word in Power Apps).

If the image is there, you need to look at your LoadData code to see what is wrong there.

Hi @anupamdatt ,

Now you have mentioned the word you had not before - Excel. Please have a read of this article.

Excel was never designed (in my view anyway) for much more than reference lists and has too many limitations - I have not used it for some time and suggest you move to a SharePoint data source and almost all of your issues will go away.

Sorry, but I do not know the reason for the change, however SharePoint references the second one as a Thumbnail.
