Hello

We're working on our main-project, and are going to develop an
application for mobile devices. The application main feature is
sending pictures to a database. Therefor we have some questions.
1. Is it possible to make an application that can browse the
filesystem on a mobile device that uses f.x Pocket PC(Smartphone)?
2. If so, is it possible to grab a picture taking with the mobile
device's camera, and then send the picture throw a http connection to
a database or any other way?
3. Is it possible to browse the pictures taken by the camera in a
webbrowser, for then to send it throw a 'post' function? (Hope you
understand what I mean) :)

We've tried doing this by J2ME(midp/mmapi), by it seems impossible
because we can't get to the pictures taken with the camera.

We'll be grateful for any tips solving our problems.

Hi

To capture a picture from a camera, you'll need to work with each camera API. What Pocket PC & Smartphone do you plan to support? Once you have captured the image, you can send it to a remote server using FTP, HTTP Post..

I have built a similar system with a nexicam camera that was sendind pictures with http over wifi. It worked fine

I would advice you to have a look into jpeg to compress images prior to upload them on a remote server. You would have better performance

Hope it helps

Hi again

Thanks for the quick reply. :)

Your reply led to a another question.

Is it possible to first take a picture with the mobile device(with any
kind of camera that the mobile device uses), save it on the mobile
device's OS/drive,
then start the CF application,
choose the picture from the OS,
and then send it to a database?
