Hello, I'm evaluating latest version of Delphi RAD for possible iOS/android phone application. I'd like to be able to use a phone camera (iOS and Android) to take photos (maybe 1 per second) and upload to my server. So.. 1). I found sample project "accessCameraApp" - my first question is.. would this be the component to use for my photo capture? - or should I be using something different? 2) I found internet references to indy components (I have used this in the past), but they are not installed on my component palette (no problem though I guess I can install later), but I did find TNetHTTPClient and TNetHTTPRequest, I was wondering which I should use (indy/TNetHTTPClient or maybe synapse if it is available?) for posting photo frames to my server? (i.e. a php page that saves photo(s) in database BLOB field). Any help to point me in the right direction would be great, it's more about the selection of components that I would need, I have plenty of Object Pascal experience, and I do a lot of camera work using javascript. It's just that the latest set of Delphi tools are new to me. Thanks in advance, Mike

gallery Android 10 delphi 10.4 camera and gallery doesn't work
Massimiliano S posted a topic in Cross-platform
Hi, After updating to delphi 10.4 and SDK 29 the camera and gallery do not work on Android 10 Also delphi examples don't work. After taking a photo from the camera the app doesn't return anything while the gallery, after choosing the photo, raises this execption First chance exception at $ 00000074D87D473C. Exception class EBitmapLoadingFailed with message 'Loading bitmap failed (/data/user/0/com.embarcadero.CameraRoll/cache/IMG_20200911_1728082355078942815963051.jpg).'. Process CameraRoll.apk (11714) any ideas? -
