I am developing android application with restFul webservice.anyone can tell that How all Android WebApplication developers Maintaining Images With common Database.
1)Will they storing only ImagePath on DataBase?
2)will they Storing Image on DataBase?
I am using a pre-populated database shipped with in the apk. Image's file name is written in the database table and Images are in drawables folder.
So in my case i read the file name from the database and get the image from the drawable folder.
You can use this method.
Put the image url-path into the database.

in my android app (java) i want to save a bitmap to locale storage and then get the absolute path so another app (flutter app) can also retrieve this image using the absolute path.
what's the best way to do it ?
I got a web application with a Java backend and React frontend. It allows users to upload and display pictures like in an album setting.
The application fetches data from a MS SQL server containing data about an image and then displays it in react.
The database contains a table with information about the image (filename, extension etc.) but not a BLOB.
I am currently displaying the image in react by creating an url from my local machine.
My question is now, what file system alternatives is there when i want to stop storing the images locally on my windows machine. Is it possible to use Google Drive API or something similar? What about SFTP? Would appreciate free solutions to begin with.
You can use Amazon S3 to store your images. store information about the image like file name, bucket name ,... etc in your database and store the image itself in Amazon S3.
There are also other alternatives to Amazon S3 if you want, like MinIO, which is open source and S3 compatible.
I have android application, which needs to store somewhere object which contains user uploaded image + description of image. May be later additional data will be added.
Which service is better to use to store such information? Is it efficient to store such objects in Amazon SimpleDB or it is better to store images in storage and save link to picture in DB?
You should store the images in Amazon S3 and then store a link to these images in your database.
I am in the planning stage of making a database application for android phones. One of my requirements is that I be able able to provide offline access for users. I am wondering what would be the most efficient way of storing a large amount of images (around four hundred-several thousand).
Oh, the images have been pre-compressed/optimized for mobile viewing. The 50mb limit on apk for the market won't be a issue.
You have to develop simple logic.Suppose you have connection then download all images.Now you have two way to access these images while you do not have connection-----
Store all images in data base as blob(But it not feasible to store huge amount
of data to database)
Second..
Store all images in sdcard(by making a folder in it) and now store link of these
images in data base Table.Suppose you donot have connection then first fetch
image path from DB Table then fetch file from sdcard and display
I would suggest storing the image files in sdcard and filename/path in sqlite DB. Store files in /Android/data/your.package.name/cache/ directory. When the user deletes the application, the cache folder will be deleted and also all the stored images.
Application build file(apk) size will be less as tofeeqahmad was suggesting.
I am creating a android application where I need to create the database in which data comes from excel file on first run when the application starts.
The problem is where should I keep the file and how do I access it in my android application or there is another method to create the database from excel sheet.
Use assets folder of your application. It allows you to store files there and access them through AssetManager. It has open(String filename); method which returns you InputStream to a file from assets folder.
