Not able to upload image to blob storage - exception com.microsoft.azure.storage.StorageException: The specified resource does not exist. in line -> blobFromSASCredential.uploadFromFile(mPhotoFileUri.getPath());

[amanpwl92]

Here's my code in onCreate method :

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_to_do);
    btnPreview = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonPreview);
    btnUpload = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpload);

    btnPreview.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            takePicture(v);
        }
    });

    btnUpload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            uploadPhoto(v);

        }
    });

}

entity.getSasQueryString()

How are you generating the sas query string?

[amanpwl92]

var azure = require('azure'); var qs = require('querystring'); var appSettings = require('mobileservice-config').appSettings;

function insert(item, user, request) {

var accountName = appSettings.STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME;
var accountKey = appSettings.STORAGE_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_KEY;
var host = accountName + '.blob.core.windows.net';

var blobService = azure.createBlobService(accountName, accountKey, host);

// Provide write access to the container for the next 5 mins.        
var sharedAccessPolicy = {
    AccessPolicy: {
        Permissions: azure.Constants.BlobConstants.SharedAccessPermissions.WRITE,
        Expiry: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 5 * 60 * 1000)
    }
};

// Generate the upload URL with SAS for the new image.
var sasQueryUrl =
    blobService.generateSharedAccessSignature('prescriptions',
        item.resourcename, sharedAccessPolicy);

// Set the full path on the new new item, 
// which is used for data binding on the client. 
item.imageUri = sasQueryUrl.baseUrl + sasQueryUrl.path;
request.execute();

}

I'm still unclear what getSasQueryString returns and I see a couple issues with the Node code you've published:

1. What version of the storage Node lib is this on? At least in the newer versions generateSharedAccessSignature returns just the SAS query, not an entire URL.
2. Assuming you have a valid url, I see you've taken only the baseURL and the path, but SAS is a query. Where are you actually doing anything with the SAS token?

[lanrehnics]

Am having this kind of exception too but when I get the exception message ..It goes like "Address is a relative address. Only absolute address are permitted" So the question is how do I generate Absolute address..

[emgerner-msft]

That exception message means something pretty different I think. Could you post a new issue with the segment of your code having an issue and a stack trace please?

[lanrehnics]

Have Opened it.. Thanks looking forward to your reply..
