Hi,

I'm using the ndk to develop an app where the user can select an image from his media library and then edit it.

Is there a way to do this on PlayBook? How can I start the "Pictures" app and have it return me a file path chosen by the user?

On Android I use something like this:

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");

context.startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_IMAGE);

Thanks

another thing, 

I would also need a way to add an image to the media store, so that it shows up in the "Pictures" app.

So I found the  navigator_invoke() function, but could not find a way to do anything besides open the pictures app.

Any way to get the selected image ?

Hello, if you want file selection, then you should be using the Dialog functions here https://developer.blackberry.com/native/beta/reference/com.qnx.doc.bps.lib_ref/com.qnx.doc.bps.lib_r...

It has a file browser which you can use to select files from the shared pictures folder.

To save files, you save them normally like you would any file, except to the shared/photos directory
