Hello,

according to this article http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development-Knowledge/The-Different-Methods-of-Loadi... we should be able to load images QML using file:/// and absolute path.

For the life of me I can't load an image not only from shared /accounts/1000/shared/ subfolders but even from app's own data folder.

Can somebody share any *working* example of loading images into ImageView using file:///

Thanks.

So there is no way to do it without C++ part? what a convoluted way... but thanks will try tonight.

According to the article, it's only possible through c++.

borceg, approach posted by you works, thanks.

Also this simple thing works without any C++ use:

imageSource: "file:///accounts/1000/shared/camera/image.png"

Stupid me forgot to request "Shared Files" access for this app. Just thing to remember: path must be absolute. Because of that if you need to locate files inside your app's sandbox then you'd have to use C++ part.
