Variable types of videos and images
<p>Am working on some application. However, i have finished two modules which invoke the phones' native camera to take a snapshot and an also record a video. I intend to use the phone application to send the image and the video taken and recorded by the phone to a website i intend to create. However, for textual information, i could store the information as strings, for the image and the video, i am not sure if i should leave them as Uris upon submission. Below is my picture, and video programs respectively. Thanx
