Have an app that will collect photos as part of a checklist. Idea is to hav eth ephoto field open th ecamera, take photo and have it load into glide.

Is this possible or do I need to take photos an dthen pick them to add to the gilde repository?

How do you pick photos from the phone library in that case?

Video is a bit trivial

I know how to put an image picker into glide app. What I asked was how you get it to either 1) directly capture the image using the camera or 2) select from the phone image library specifically.

The 12 second video doesn’t answer either question.

The video

Have you tried it?

I’m not sure how it works on Android, but on IOS once you tap on the image picker, you get the option to choose to either take a photo or select from your photo library.
