Can't display a base64 image like a thumbnail

Hi,
I’m trying to display a base64Image but I can’t make it work.
Here’s my html code :

<ion-content padding>

    <ion-list>
        <ion-item-sliding id="refresh" #slidingItem *ngFor="let signal of listeSignalements">
            <button ion-item (click)="openSignal()">
                <ion-thumbnail item-start>
                    <img id="image" [src]="signal.base64Image" />
                </ion-thumbnail>
                <h2>{{signal.signalement}}</h2>
                <p>{{signal.categorie}}</p>
            </button>

            <ion-item-options>
                <button ion-button color="primary" (tap)="openSignal(signal)">
                    Détails
                </button>
                <button ion-button color="danger" (tap)="delete(signal)">
                    Supprimer
                </button>
            </ion-item-options>
        </ion-item-sliding>
    </ion-list>
...

I don’t really understand why, because I’ve a cameraPage where I could take a photo or retrieve a photo from the gallery, and the display works fine.
Here is my functionnal snippet (edited 7/7/17)

public base64Image : string;

takePhoto() {
  const options : CameraOptions = {
    quality: 90,
    destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
    encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
    mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
  }
  this.camera.getPicture(options) .then((imageData) => {
      this.signal.base64Image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
    }, (err) => {
    console.log(err);
    });
}

//méthode pour récupérer photo à partir des photos stockées sur le terminal
getPhotoFromLibrary() {
  const options : CameraOptions = {
    quality: 90,
    correctOrientation: true,
    destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
    sourceType : this.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
    mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
  }
  this.camera.getPicture(options) .then((imageData) => {
      this.signal.base64Image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
    }, (err) => {
    console.log(err);
    });
}

And here is the part of my html file

<ion-card class="blockImage">
        <ion-icon name="trash" class="deleteIcon" (click)="deletePhoto()"></ion-icon>
        <img id="image" [src]="base64Image" />
    </ion-card>

Could anyone help me please ?
Thanks

Not sure if relevant, but you’re asking the plugin to give you PNG, but then declaring in the URL that it’s JPEG.

I tried JPEG and PNG before posting my problem, but no change.
I could display the picture in my PhotoPage without any problems, but no way to display it in my HomePage…

At the minimum, we need to see the code you are using to build the listeSignalements array to understand your problem.

Here is the complete code

import { Signal } from '../../models/signal';
import { SqliteCrudProvider } from './../../providers/sqlite-crud/sqlite-crud';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, NavParams, IonicPage } from 'ionic-angular';

@IonicPage()
@Component({
  selector: 'page-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
  //variables formulaire récuperées
  public signalementFinal = new Signal();
  public listeSignalements : Array<Signal> = [ ];

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, public navParams: NavParams, private dbService: SqliteCrudProvider ) {
  }

  ionViewDidLoad(){
    //création de la base de données et de la table si non existantes
    this.dbService.createDatabase();
    
    //transfert des données SQLite vers le tableau 'listeSignalements' et Affichage
    this.dbService.selectAll(this.listeSignalements);

    /*  
    *   Vérification de la présence de données saisies en cours
    *   afin d'éviter d'insérer des données 'vides' dans la base 
    */
    let temp = this.navParams.get('signal.signalement');
    if (temp!='') {
      this.signalementFinal = this.navParams.get('signal');
      
      //insertion des données récupérées duu formaulaire dans la base de données locale SQLite
      this.dbService.insertInto(this.signalementFinal);
    }
  }

  //méthode pour naviguer vers la page formulaire
  addSignal() {
    this.navCtrl.push('FormulairePage');
 }

  //méthode d'ouverture de la page détaillant les principales infos du signalement
  openSignal(signal) {
    this.navCtrl.push('SignaldetailsPage', {
      signalement: signal
    });
  }

  //suppression du signalement...
  delete(signal) {
    //...dans la base de données
    this.dbService.deleteSignal(signal);

    //...de la liste des signalements
    let index = this.listeSignalements.indexOf(signal);
    if (index > -1) {
      this.listeSignalements.splice(index, 1);
    }
  }
}

and the Signal Model imported in the HomePage

export class Signal {  
    idSignalement: number;
    signalement: string;
    categorie: string;
    commentaires: string;
    date: string;
    base64Image: string;
    latitude: number;
    longitude: number;

    constructor() {
        this.idSignalement = null;
        this.signalement = '';
        this.categorie = '';
        this.commentaires = '';
        this.date = '';
        this.base64Image = '';
        this.latitude = null;
        this.longitude = null;
    }
}

And in the case you will need my SQLite queries request provider code, here he is :wink:

If that’s the limit of your database interaction, I think you could make your life a lot easier by switching to ionic-storage. You’re only ever referencing records by id, so direct interaction with SQLite isn’t necessary.

Please heed to the advice @rapropos is giving.

Thanks for sharing your code, although it has some language mix, I tried to understand as much as I could. I see that you’ve provided everything but not the actual call where the populated Signal object is being set in the navParams for the home page to use. That’s where I could have checked whether the base64 image is being properly set or not.

Anyways, until you can share that code or let me know exactly how the Signal object is being set in the navParams, you can try the following. Change the sequence of calls in the ionViewDidLoad of the homepage like this:

ionViewDidLoad(){
   //création de la base de données et de la table si non existantes
   this.dbService.createDatabase();

   /*  
   *   Vérification de la présence de données saisies en cours
   *   afin d'éviter d'insérer des données 'vides' dans la base 
   */
   let temp = this.navParams.get('signal.signalement');
   if (temp!='') {
      this.signalementFinal = this.navParams.get('signal');

      //insertion des données récupérées duu formaulaire dans la base de données locale SQLite
      this.dbService.insertInto(this.signalementFinal);
   }

   //transfert des données SQLite vers le tableau 'listeSignalements' et Affichage
   this.dbService.selectAll(this.listeSignalements);
}

This is because I felt currently you are populating the listeSignalements array before even inserting the data into the database and hence not getting the records perhaps.
