Setting canvas backgroundimage

[Victor Venancio S.]

Hi guys,

I'm getting image URL from TinyWebDB and setting to canvas background image but nothing occur. I've tested if the database was running correctly and I found that yes by a label which show the value got from database.

Thanks for reading!

I don't think that url will work to display an image from google drive. You need to use a url that simulates a download link, then it should work. You also need to make the image public / anyone with the link.

See here

and for example:

this won't work:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=186WQn2-bXBTKQgh8J1SN-UcVp8nF0ZZR

but this should work

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=186WQn2-bXBTKQgh8J1SN-UcVp8nF0ZZR  (image should appear below!)
