Easy Way to uploaded pics to sharepoint from powerapps without flow or collection

[ravee_82]

Hi Guys,

 from last few days i was struggling to save uploaded images in power apps and save to SharePoint and get back to power apps 

couldn't find a satisfactory answer and after some time i got a solution without flow or collection

it can be done in 4 simple steps

1,Get binary data of image using a button control On select function create a variable ;Set( ImageJSON, JSON( UploadedImage2.Image,IncludeBinaryData ) )

2,Put that in a text feild and to remove "" from begining and end of the value you need to use replace function ;Replace(ImageJSON,1,1,"")for first " and Replace(TextInput1.Text,Len(TextInput1.Text),1,"")for last 

3,put in a Image on Image property give the second text feild name 

4;Now you can save in share point multiline text column using patch functiona and call back image using lookup function anytime 

NO NEED OF COLLECTION OR FLOW

Thank you for this, 

Im trying to build an app that takes photos and can save offline. Using your solution i can do this, however do you use a flow at the end to convert the base64 image in the multiline column to something else jpg png?

do you have a flow you could share? ive been given several bad examples that i cannot follow with my understanding.

Thank you for your post. It was very helpful. Could you please help me understand how to get the image (now stored in the SharePoint list) to display in a gallery?

[ravee_82]

Thank you 

To get image back just go to media nad bring in image and in image give the feild where you are storing the value of image and lookup with the unique value like case no or any thing you are using in your form and it will bring your image 

 Please mark as verified solution thanks for support

[ravee_82]

Use a unique feild if you dont have add id of sharepoint in your form on the bases of sharepoint you can lookup and add the value in Image 

[jsearcy]

The image is generated in the app so there is no way to "bring it in" by going to Media so I am not clear on how that would work

[ravee_82]

So what i did is i have a caselog system 

Which is a case id for it i use id of sharepoint 

Than i add a image from media section to the form 

Then i add lookupformula based on that case id number i give that value what in your case is peninput1 in image value that will bring back your image

If you are using a gallery than use the gallery. Selected.peninput1 in the image
