How to add Images to Canvas Apps from camera or picture gallery
Adding pictures is quite fantastic and super fun in the canvas app. There are multiple ways to add pictures
Camera control – that opens up the camera on the user’s device
Another way is Attachment control – easier to implement
The attachment control is a file uploader, which allows uploading the images in all canvas app allowed image formats. This behaves accordingly to devices like using a phone, tablet, or computer.
On Phones or tablets, this brings a pop up that allows
Open camera
Choose from pictures
Choose actual files
In such devices, this gives more flexibility, but on computers, it opens up a file loader that allows selecting any picture from the computer
