Upload images or videos on mit app inventor

[AndreiR2312]

Hi, I would like to create an application where I can upload images or videos from my mobile phone. Can this be done with app inventor and how exactly? (I want just an idea)

[TIMAI2]

Yes it can be done.

Where do you want to upload your images/videos ?

@TIMAI2

Where do you want to upload your images/videos ?

I would like to upload my images/videos to a database if it's possible.

[TIMAI2]

Which database ?

Although it is possible to directly load media into a database, it is more generally accepted to upload media / binary files to online storage and to save the urls to those files to the database.

I have used firebase in my projects and I would like to continue with it.

Basically, I have an educational application and the testing part consists of uploading some images / videos with what the users have worked on to check their progress.

Suggest your start here, try a few things, then come back and ask for help if you get stuck.

Firebase with Web Component

A couple of somewhat terse guides to using the web component and webviewer to manipulate firebase realtime database, manage authenticated users, and use firebase storage. I have also linked in a previous guide I did for securing firebase rules, which also had a few other bits and pieces for getting tag lists and data changed. Happy to answer questions etc. The first two make no use of the built in Firebase component or any Firebase extensions Firebase Authentication with Web component and HTML …
