Is it possible to add a HTML5 canvas element as a field to the android app ?

Hi, Simo

Actually we have a sample with functionality very similar to that

Please check out samples/fields/signature

Best regards, Eugene

hi Eugene Bychkov or others,
Will the sample functionality in the SDK save as an image file on disk or in the DB as base64?

Vincent, 

Currently images are not saved on disk in any form

Hi Eugene

in that case can you maybe provide some information as to how the SDK example will work or is intended to be used please?
Would the other option to save it in the DB as base64 be implemented instead of on disk?

The signature sample is mostly intended at showing some SDK functionality and capabilities:

1. Extending and registering default views (edit view in this case)

2. Working with custom field types (signature in this case)

3. Importing third-party libs ( singature_pad.js in this case)

Basically it is not fully functional feature in any form, just an example and sample

As for saving images to device as files or as base64 strings to database: both options are absolutely possible and achievable using cordova plugins or your own custom code

Thanks Eugene Bychkov
I'm not a developer, so I'll pass this info on.

However, I really think it would be best if Sugar added this field to core to ensure quality and upgrade safe across all platforms.

It would also help the new push for selling Sugar as a Services delivery platform, as other competing products have the signature field option for many years now.

Can you refer to relevant Sugar team please?

Thank you
