Android Question How to load image from my mobile phone ?

[IslamQabel]

Dear All:

I am asking about loading image from my mobile photos? ...... i just checked on help but all loading ways is by only Loadbitmap(File.DirAssets,"anyimage.bmp")......the image should be stored inside File folder in project file...........

I am making some ImageView objects in the layout by designer...........and i want just when i click the image view load the image from mobile....like browsing for the location of image

The photos I take using my device's camera as stored in File.DirRootExternal/DCIM/Camera folder. Yours, probably the same way. You can then do this:
Dim imageview1 as Imageview 'in Globals

Sub imageview1_Click
     imageview1.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirRootExternal & "/DCIM/Camera","photoname.jpg"))
End Sub

Anybody know how to load image from SD card of mobile?
i tried the root "/sdcard/DCIM/Camera" but it did not work.....

There is no standard path to sd cards. There is a standard path to the primary external storage which you can retrieve with File.DirRootExternal as posted above.

i tried this code and it is working for images saved in the SD card

 ImageView1.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirRootExternal & "/external_sd/DCIM/Camera","name.jpg"))

and the code Mahares is needed when you load the image from phone memory
