Image
Check out the function of the Image element.
It is the element that displays data in image formats such as PNG, JPG, SVG. They can show a static image that you add to the image library, or they can dynamically show the related image sent from the data table as a result of the data connection.
Adding Images
You can add the Image element from the Elements panel by dragging and dropping it to the screen. If you drag it to an empty area on the screen, it is added with the Row element. If you drag it into a Column you just add the Image element.
If you have a custom icon set you can add it with Image / Uploaded Images. Basically, formats such as PNG, JPG, SVG are displayed directly in both your Web and Native iOS applications. However, images in SVG format will not be viewable in your Native Android apps. For this, you have to install Android Vector Drawable - in XML format. When adding the relevant static image, you must upload it in both .svg and .xml formats (HamburgerMenu.svg / HamburgerMenu.xml) with the same name. While developing the code for Android and iOS, Kuika does this name check and selects the relevant format according to the device.
The Image element is supported in both mobile and web applications.
