As the exception message says, 'Address is a relative address. Only absolute addresses are permitted. '. So, when you're creating the block blob, you're creating with a relative address rather than an absolute address. Ie, result.getImageUri() is returning a partial rather than full address. If you step-through debug you'll be able to see this. Make sure the URI you pass has a form something like https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob

[lanrehnics]

The link you drop is dead..

[emgerner-msft]

Yes, this is an example of a url format, not meant to be clicked. Please compare the URL you are passing to the method with that form, substituting of course 'myaccount' for your account name, 'mycontainer' for your container name, and 'myblob' for your blob name.

Am uploading via mobile service.. Please Every is generated i cloud.. The Relative address is it the address of the file I want to upload .. Or the imageUri .... Or Please can yu write a tutorial that make one select a local file and upload to azure instead of taking a picture.. Please walk me through cos I pritty much need it very sooon..

[emgerner-msft]

result.getImageUri() >> I don't know what this outputs so I can't do anything to help you. This needs to be an absolute address, like the example I gave. This should be the URI of the blob you want to upload to.
