Attach images to tweet about tweetian HOT 5 CLOSED

How should I implement file chooser ?

Well, the annoying part is that we really shouldn't need to do anything. There is already image picker in platform, but unfortunately it is not allowed to be used by harbor apps just yet. The second best thing would be to get images from QtDocGallery and just put them to dialog with a silicagridview just like in SDK example. Bad news here again. QtDocGallery is not yet an accepted API either.

So to implement this what is needed is either to wait for APIs to open up or to create a C++ model which retrieves paths of images from filesystem. The images are stored in QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation (there may be subdirectories under it). And the picker would be SilicaDialog with SilicaGridview on it.

I believe you should reconsider your choice of making new tweet page a dialog. I am having problems while attaching images with tweets since the dialog which contains all the information about image is deleted after accepting while the image upload is going on (See the imageUploader component on new tweet page).

I'm fine with going back to old approach. UI with dialog is more gesture based, but IMO not necessarily better.

Can you point me to an example which uses platform image picker ? Are you referring to this http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtquickdialogs/qml-qtquick-dialogs1-filedialog.html ?

EDIT: I found it in Sailfish.Pickers QML module.
