Saving camera photo to local folder
-
Hi,
I think it is a simple task. I have a button action to take a photo and save it to the local folder as well as the camera roll.
def take_front_action(sender): console.alert("Take front image", "", "OK") front_image=photos.capture_image() photos.save_image(front_image) #saving to camera roll working fine last_asset=photos.get_assets()[-1] img=last_asset.get_image() front_filename=str(ObjCInstance(last_asset).valueForKey_('filename')) with open(front_filename, 'wb') as out_file: out_file.write(img)
My code is giving me the following error:
a bytes-linked object is required, not 'Image' or
a bytes-linked object is required, not 'JpegImageFile',
Depending on what I put inside 'img', 'last_asset' or 'front_image'in write().I think I'm not so clear what file format I'm getting in each function call. Hence the error.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Just use the
save
method of theImage
object:def take_front_action(sender): console.alert("Take front image", "", "OK") front_image=photos.capture_image() photos.save_image(front_image) #saving to camera roll working fine last_asset=photos.get_assets()[-1] front_filename=str(ObjCInstance(last_asset).valueForKey_('filename')) front_image.save(front_filename)
