In this video, I explore how to access the camera from AL code, check it out:
I planned to publish this blog for 6 months, but only the latest 16.1 update of Business Central gave me such opportunity.
The ability to take pictures from Business Central was there for a long time. But, it was possible only in the mobile app. There are a number of nice blogposts of how you can take a picture in AL using a mobile camera.
Curious thing… last week a follower asked my if it’s possible to use the Camera with Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS. My answer was obviously YES but he pointed me to a link on Docs where how to implement the Camera was explained, but only for the on-premise world (using the Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ClientExtensions assembly). Here it seems that you can do that only for the on-premise world, but this is not true.
If you’ve been doing any V2 extension development, you like are aware that we cannot use any .Net interop in our code.
While on premise V2 development will eventually gain access to .Net variable types, if you’re coding your extension to run in AppSource, you will remain locked away from using .Net interop in your code because the risk of these external components is too large for shared cloud servers
