Camera directory

[75nikonman75]

Hello!

How can I change the default Canera folder in App Inventor?

In my device (Samsung A5 2016) App Inventor create the folder named "Pictures".

Can i change this folder (the name) whit the code of my app?

Thank you!

you can't change that default directory

but after taking the picture, you can move it using the file extension https://puravidaapps.com/file.php to a directory of your choice

Here a little modification to Camera component converted to extension, you can set a directory to save photo, example: Fotos/

The directory must be previously created, you can create directory with this extension:

Thank you!
Works!
I have only one problem: How do I create a folder on the SD-card of the phone? All the folders I try to create always end up in the phone's memory and not in the card. How is the path of the card?

With this extension the directory must be in the sdcard1, not in the sdcard2

Thank you.

Difference between sdcard1 and sdcard2 ?

Thanks for the reply!
But there is no way to save photos in the external SD-card? For me it would be important

Thank you very much

Thank you very much!

Another question: Why does the camera show every time the picture just taken? Can you take it off?

I want to shoot so many photos in sequence without giving every time OK
