My app has a bunch of images stored as blobs in the local SQLite Database. These images are taken with the device camera. I'm using Titanium Alloy, so the image was saved using the .save()
method an Alloy Model.
I've started using the TiSocial module that can post an image to Twitter or Facebook. One its parameters is image
and it has to be:
a local/remote path to an image you want to share
The image I want to use is set as the image property on an ImageView. The ImageView image is set like this: $.theImageView.image = args.the_image;
, where args.image
is the image blob, taken from the database collection.
I tried to take this image blob and set it as the image on the TiSocial module initialisation method:
Social.activityView({
text: "Hello world! Take a look at this: " + args.name,
image: args.the_image,
removeIcons:"airdrop,print,copy,contact,camera"
});
Alternatively I tried to take use the image saved on the ImageView, like this:
Social.activityView({
text: "Hello world! Take a look at this: " + args.name,
image: $.theImageView.image,
removeIcons:"airdrop,print,copy,contact,camera"
});
However neither of these worked, and no image appears in the Tweet or Facebook message dialogs. And no error appears in the console.
On the other hand, if I set the image
property to an image saved in the assets
folder, then it works just fine. For example:
`image: "an_image.jpg"`
I tried a solution mentioned in the comments below, which was to save the image to Ti.FileSystem, and then read the image from there. However, this still did not work.
