In iOS mobilePickPhoto has two optional parameters that let you limit the maximum width and size of the chosen image, but that isn't implemented on Android. I've been trying to find a way to do a similar thing on Android. I tried resizing the last image object after picking the photo, but the chosen image always ends up filling up the entire screen, and then some.

Followup: 

This finally worked for me:

  set the visible of the templateimage to false
  set the resizeQuality of the templateimage to "good"
  mobilePickPhoto "camera"
  set the height of last image to 480
  set the width of last image to 640
  set the loc of last image to the screenloc 
  show last image

Thanks for the pointer, Monte.
