Using Photos in an app

[afkra]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to this so the question may seem lame.

i am developing an app in which the user is able to assign a photo to something (such as a text).

i will store this photo in the App's Data Center (e.g. Database) for future use. it will be shown whenever that something (e.g. text) is called.

so now i want to know what are the possible places that i can provide to the user for selecting the photo?

i know two of them:

1. take a picture from the camera
2. use the image gallery

other than these two, what are the other possible sources?
specially i want to know if the user can search flickr and download his/her preferred photo into the app from flickr without living my application? if it is possible, how should it be done? can you point me to a guideline or tutorial for this purpose?

Tnx in advance...

no he can't choice a photo from app flickr, you need collaboration from flickr's developers to do it. You can retrieve photo from flickr using api, and the same thing from other site that allow it.
