It's a simple app in principle, however I do not know the first thing in programming apps.

I'm looking to create a app that upon launching allows the user to take a photo using the device camera, enter all their contact info then the app would send the photo and info to a pre defined email address.

How easily can this be accomplished?

Open camera app
take picture
click on picture you just took on lower left corner
select share
send email
Why do you need an app for such a basic function?

I want to make it a deployable app and expand on it as we go.


Basically to snap a photo of a material list and send it in to be processed as an order.

Gradually adding more features.

Do you mean a simple camera app or something more complicated like this app BlackBerry World - AutoCrop Scanner Free

[namgas]

I'm the developer of that app!

Basically it would just be a simple UI

A few input boxes
contact Info, purchase order etc

A button to take the photo

A send button

I would like the email generating to be done on the back end automatically.

As opposed to having to have the user share and select addresses etc

Ive built a similar app for iOS that allowed users to enter their physical location and order prints. I'd be happy to help on your project Feel free to email me at [email protected]

I would suggest you start by making sketches of every single page in your app (ie know exactly all the buttons, dropdown, whole UI and how they are all linked together). This is the most important part of making an app. If you don't like the UI after app has been coded, then all code is waste!
You also need to decide if you want a Cascades app or HTML5 app or an Android/iPhone port. If you decide on Cascades you can follow these Design guidelines BlackBerry Developer . This way you may also get the Built for Blackberry badge! You can see my mirror app and the scanner app, they both use cameras but one uses camera as a card and another uses camera as part of main screen. You need to think about these customizations in your design also. Once you have these planned out then look for a programmer.
Also BB10 SDK has a way for an app to write an email with predefined parameters (so subjectline, recipient, body etc can be written by app). Is that what you mean by generating the email automatically?
If you pick Cascades I could help you out!
