The database must contain data, for example: user table, name, photo, etc.  
And a link to this page from the one with which the data is needed.

Hi @yamadatarou,

That is ok. Image Picker is just a “canvas”, which you put in your app to let user upload the image.  
In order to perform the actual action with the image uploaded, you need to

- add a button (for example)
- and add an action to do something with the image from the ImagePicker.  
See here:
