====== MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO ======

This action opens a camera on a mobile device that the user logged in from, allows the user to take a photo and then writes the result into the specified Picture attribute of the specified business object. Note that this action can only be used in native mobile applications – it will not work in a browser. 

===== Syntax =====

''MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO'' AttributeIdentifier()[ ''WITH'' StringLiteral() ''='' StringLiteral() ('','' StringLiteral() ''='' StringLiteral())* ]

where AttributeIdentifier is the identifier of the attribute to write the result into (the attribute must be of the Picture Type).

===== Example =====

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

You can also optionally specify different properties defining how the camera will behave. The following parameters can be used (see more details here: [[https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera]])

| ''quality''             | number                                                                                                | 50    | Quality of the saved image, expressed as a range of 0-100, where 100 is typically full resolution with no loss from file compression. (Note that information about the camera's resolution is unavailable.)  |
| ''allowEdit''           | Boolean                                                                                               | true  | Allow simple editing of image before selection.                                                                                                                                                              |

For example:

<code aim>MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO MyObject.MyPictureAttribute WITH 
    'targetWidth'='100',
    'targetHeight'='100',
    'cameraDirection'='1',
    'allowEdit'='false' </code>
