Overview of this book

Microsoft Power Apps provides a modern approach to building low-code business applications for mobiles, tablets, browsers, and Microsoft Teams. The second edition of Learn Microsoft Power Apps will guide you in creating well designed and secure apps that transform old processes and workflows. Learn Microsoft Power Apps starts with an introduction to Power Apps to help you feel comfortable with the creation experience. Using screenshots from the latest UI, you will be guided through how to create an app, building your confidence to start developing further. This book will help you design, set up, and configure your first application by writing simple formulas. You'll learn about the different types of apps you can build in Power Apps and which one applies best to your requirements. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to identify the right data storage system for you, with new chapters covering how to integrate apps with SharePoint or Dataverse. As you advance, you’ll be able to use various controls, connectors, and data sources to create a powerful, interactive app. For example, this book will help you understand how Power Apps can use Microsoft Power Automate, Power BI, and Azure functionalities to improve your applications. Finally, you will be introduced to the emerging Power Apps Copilot tool, which uses artificial intelligence to accelerate the app building process.

Appendix

Using the Add picture control

Using the Add picture control is the quickest and easiest way for images to be added to an app in Power Apps since it allows us to upload images from the local device. If this control is used and accessed using a desktop browser, then the local file explorer will be used to select the file, and if the control is used on a mobile device, then you will simply select the images from the local image store.

Power Apps supports all of the common image types, including the following:

  • jpg
  • jpeg
  • png
  • gif
  • bmp
  • tif
  • tiff
  • svg

The behavior of the Add image control is quite interesting as it actually creates a group of controls. It adds a button for the user to click on to upload an image and adds an image control, all within a control group, as shown in the following screenshot:

The camera on a device is versatile and can be used to capture data as well as images.
