Hello,

I try to selected a photo in emulator it works well. But in real device i can't find any photo on my phone.

import QtQuick 2.7
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3
//import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
import Qt.labs.settings 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2
import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 2.2

MainView {
    id: root
    objectName: 'mainView'
    applicationName: 'ufile.ufile'
    automaticOrientation: true

    width: units.gu(45)
    height: units.gu(75)

    Column{
        anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter

        Row{
            Button {
                id: btn
                text: "Open"
                onClicked: fileDialog.open();
            }
        }

        Image {
            id: setImg
            width: 300
            height: 300
            source: ""
        }

        FileDialog {
            id: fileDialog
            title: "Please choose a file"
            folder: shortcuts.home
            onAccepted: {
                var setFiles = fileDialog.fileUrls
                console.log("You chose: " + fileDialog.fileUrls)
                setImg.source = setFiles[0]
                //Qt.quit()
            }
            onRejected: {
                console.log("Canceled")
                //Qt.quit()
            }
        }
    }
}

Then i try to compile the .click file to Ubuntu Touch device i got this error here:

@007fred50 files are managed through ContentHub.
You have a quick explanation here: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/guides/contenthub.html

@cibersheep Hej, I have try the website and did not understand it.

klh

@007fred50 You can't browse device files directly because of security rules, you have to request them through the ContentHub.

The linked documentation also links to the source code of an app that uses it to select images: https://gitlab.com/cibersheep/webapp-creator/blob/master/webapp-creator/app/ImportPage.qml#L38

Not sure about the last error, can you post your clickable.json and .apparmor file?

@klh hello,

Thanks for your time

Here is my 3 fies.

clickable.json:

{
  "clickable_minimum_required": "6.22.0",
  "builder": "pure-qml-cmake",
  "kill": "qmlscene"
}

I found this here (https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/platform/apparmor.html#networking)

and i set into (.apparmor)

.apparmor:

{
    "policy_groups": ["camera", "document_files", "picture_files"],
    "policy_version": 16.04
}

my Main.qml code:

                onClicked: fileDialog.open();
            }
        }

        Image {
            id: setImg

            height: 300
            source: "/home/fredy/Pictures/Screenshot from 2021-10-22 11-29-16.png"
        }

        FileDialog {
            id: fileDialog
            title: "Please choose a file"
            folder: shortcuts.home
            onAccepted: {
                var setFiles = fileDialog.fileUrls
                console.log("You chose: " + fileDialog.fileUrls)
                setImg.source = setFiles[0]
                //Qt.quit()
            }
            onRejected: {
                console.log("Canceled")
                //Qt.quit()
            }
        }
    }
}

@007fred50 oh, I just checked, the last line has nothing to do with the build process, and the FAIL doesn't stop the build or upload (at least I was able to build with these policies).

Here you have a complete example of importing a file using ContentHub in QML: https://api-docs.ubports.com/sdk/apps/qml/Ubuntu.Content/ContentHub.html#detailed-description

Basically you have to create a ContentPeer:

ContentPeer {
    id: picSourceSingle
    contentType: ContentType.Pictures
    handler: ContentHandler.Source
    selectionType: ContentTransfer.Single
}

Have a place to store the transfer:

property var activeTransfer

Then in the click handler start the request:

onClicked: {
    activeTransfer = picSourceSingle.request()
}

And handle the transfer result:

Connections {
    target: root.activeTransfer
    onStateChanged: {
        if (root.activeTransfer.state === ContentTransfer.Charged) {
            setImg.source = root.activeTransfer.items[0].url;
        }
    }
}

I adapted it a bit to your code, hopefully you are able to integrate it completely.

@007fred50 looks like all my explaining was pointless, because it doesn't work now, picSourceSingle is always undefined no matter what I try. No idea why, maybe it's not supported anymore and the docs weren't updated.

If you still need a solution ContentPeerPicker works fine:

ContentPeerPicker {
    anchors { fill: parent }
    visible: parent.visible
    showTitle: false
    contentType: ContentType.All
    handler: ContentHandler.Source

    onPeerSelected: {
        picker.activeTransfer = peer.request()
        picker.activeTransfer.stateChanged.connect(function() {
            if (picker.activeTransfer.state === ContentTransfer.Charged) {
                console.log(picker.activeTransfer.items[0].url)
                picker.activeTransfer = null
            }
        })
    }
}

You can show it in a dialog when user clicks a button.

Hi,
If it helps, I did a sample app (with many comments) to manage import of a file with content hub, see:
