====== How to upload an image from camera or photo library of the phone ======

One approach is to define an attribute of the Picture type for one of your forms. //**AwareIM**// will automatically generate controls to upload the image from a camera or photo library. This approach will work in both browser-based mobile applications and native mobile applications. 

Another approach is to use the ''[[a_f:a:mobile_camera_snap_into|MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO]]'' action in some process (or ''[[a_f:a:mobile_camera_get_into|MOBILE CAMERA GET INTO]]'' action to get access to photo library). When AwareIM executes this action the user will be able to upload a photo from camera or a photo library. The image will be written into the picture attribute specified in the action. For example:

<code aim>MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO MyObject.MyPictureAttribute </code>
