Build Apps Issue

Hi Experts,

We are working on a scenario where in we are using build apps. However, we are facing couple of challenges.

1. During the loading of home page, We want a list item to be shown in the initial screen. We have created a data variable which gives a array but it does not show up in the list item page. However, using toggle, we can see the value being returned. Attached screen shot:

Build App classical entity rest API destination integration which is used for data variables.

Same is called inside flow logic ( getdefectdata 😞

However, when using list items repeated, it does not show up line item data. However, while using toast functionality, it shows the data up.

2. We want users to capture image from camera and use the same image for uploading to Hana Cloud for which we were using filepath location and filetobase64 converter. However, it seems once the converter gets called, system gets stuck up. We dont want users to take picture separately and then come to apps for better user experience. How can this be fixed ? I have created a parallal branch just to show up. Ideally its only 1 flow that gets executed and in that flow it gets stuck up completely and app needs to be stopped. I am using the Build App testing platform in android to test this. We have created a BLOB storage in Hanacloud and is trying to update that data

Can you please suggest on this. Is this something that we are missing or it looks like a product issue and we need to reach out to SAP ?

Thanks

For item #1, can you show the data variables that are created to store the list data? Is that data variable bound to the "Repeat With" field of the list component added to the UI Canvas?

For item #2, could you try uploading an image of smaller size to check if its an image size issue?

Hi @shrinivasan_neelamegam Thanks for your help. We managed to sort out the first issue with a bit of SAP's help. It was a case of data variable not getting set. For image, we still dont have any workaround. Is it the image url is https which is creating the issue ? Just to add if we upload a static image, it opens up the image successfully.
