In the future you will be able to store images directly in the db. Tizen currently does not support this. So I am using tizens download api:

var imageDownloadRequest = new tizen.DownloadRequest(uri, “images/speciesImages”, filename);
downloadId = tizen.download.start(imageDownloadRequest, downloadListener);

oncompleted: function(id, fullPath) { /*add the path to db */ }
:: Completed with id: 1384877701, full path: images/speciesImages/bird.png

If I now use this given fullPath as the following:

<img src=”images/speciesImages/bird.png” />

the image does not display. I can verify that the image is there at it occurs if I browse the emulator via the “My Files” icon. I also tried ‘/images/…’ without success

SOLUTION:

use an intermediate call to tizen.filesystem.resolve to get a fileEntry and the use the toURI method in this entry

tizen.filesystem.resolve(fullPath, function(fileEntry){
                        var usableURI = fileEntry.toURI() );
                        /* store this uri in db */
}
