In my tablet app, the "welcome" screen uses an image file, which is set at design time using a .jpg file from the assets folder. I am designing a user content management application that will run on users PC so they can make updates to the database and other program customizations. One of these customizations is the ability to change the image in the welcome screen. They will be able to use any (properly sized) imaged file from their PC. I know how to get the name of the file and write it to the database that my app will read when loading, but since that custom image file is not part of the apk, how do I get their image file onto the device, and where will it be stored?

Cannot Copy File from PC to Device via USB
I've connected to the device with USB Cable. It opens a folder window called My Computer\Transformer 101. Tried to copy a file from my pc and paste to this folder but folder does not allow.

Have you thought about saving the image from the user's PC to a column in the database with a BLOB type?
Presumably you PC program makes updates to the B4A database so transferring the image from the PC to your activity this way would make sense.
