Accessing images uploaded by the CommCare Android client

Users

Hi.

I'm trying to find an appropriate way, via the CCHQ HTTP API, to download
images uploaded from the mobile app. I see from the UserVoice/Wiki/forum
that there have been previous discussions about this, but I remain
uncertain about the currently available/recommended methods to do this.

Via the case list->form details, I see a URL to the image structured as:
https://www.commcarehq.org/a//reports/form_data/<form-id ???>
/download-attachment/?attachment=.jpg

In our app, we're actually updating the case to include the image, and the
relative path to the image is being stored as case property as well (ie.
.jpg).

So, I guess two questions:

  1. Are/can images be associated with a case and, if so, how can these be
    downloaded programmatically?
  2. If images are only associated with forms, is the URL shown above
    appropriate to use for downloading the image?

Thanks, Ray

Hi Ray,

Good questions.

  1. This is not currently possible, but we hope to expose a way associate
    multimedia with cases in the future.

  2. That URL can be used, but instead, you can download all of the
    multimedia submissions associated with a form from the "Download
    Multimedia" link on the export page. Generally, this link can be found at
    /a//reports/form_data/download/media/?app_id=<app_
    id>&xmlns=<app_xmlns>&startdate=&hq_
    filters=true&enddate=&filterSet=false and could be used
    programmatically similarly to how you propose using the individual links.

Thanks,

Hi Nate Haduch,

        I am unable to access the images in either of the link given.

Has Commcare streamlined a way to access the images associated with the
form ?

Thanks,
Sadiq.

Hello,

I believe this has been incorporated into the form data export
functionality - please see the bottom of this page
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Form+Data+Export.

Best,
Will
