Folks, I've got an ASP.NET app specifically designed to look pleasant in tablet sized device browsers. Now it has been suggested that while using the web app, you drill down and pick a product, then use the device's camera to take a picture of the product and somehow save it and associate it with the product's ID.
But how on earth can you bridge the gap between a web app running in a browser and the device's camera? The photos can go anywhere, into the phone's file system, into Google or Apple cloud storage, etc. My app is just a dumb web app and has no access to anything in the mobile device, so how can I deliver the photo to some known location and associate it with the product's ID. Perhaps I could use a classic ASP.NET upload control, which requires a bit of user clicking and picking. Perhaps the photos could go into known cloud containers or a dropbox like facility, but the address and names would have to be given to the web app. Has anyone been through this sort of problem before? Any ideas? *Greg K*
