DataBases and how to store images on mobile devices(?)

Hi there,
I want to build an App, which takes pictures on mobile devices and save them (not in cam-roll).
Would it be the best way to create a (SQL?) database and save the filenames (with category) inside and save the images in folders or is it possible/better to store the image itself into a database?
Thank you

Hi DevboyLars,
You can store the images in a subfolder of the documents folder of the sandbox of your app
Best regards

Thank you
And would it be better to store the filenames in a SQL-DB or use XML?

Sorry I don't use them.
I use the directory of the images folder to build an index of files which is stored in a simple .txt file

Could you post an example-code, please?

I use the files in this script but you can use detailed files to get more information about each file
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer folder "Open:"
if it = empty then exit mouseUp
put the defaultfolder into tODF
put it into sCurFolPict
set the defaultfolder to it
put the files into tFiles
filter tFiles without ".*"
put sCurFolPict & "/" & "myIndex" into tUrl
put tFiles into url("file:" & tUrl)
set the defaultfolder to tODF
end mouseUp
