I would like to ask if there is any way to convert image view image (the image is set from gallery / camera capture) to a base64 string? I have tried multiple ways but i have been getting null pointer exception. Does anyone have any ideas on fixing this? I am storing my base64 string into windows azure. I have tried putting this method into the. Please note that i removed my api key and the web url for the initmobileservice method so please understand and thank you in advance
