How do I save data from Camera to disk using MediaStore on Android?

Question

For my application, I\'d been using my own Camera class for taking images and my own database but soon enough I couldn\'t really keep up with changes and I decided to use th

Answer 1

This worked with the following code, granted I was being a little dumb with the last one. I still think there's got to be a better way so that the original image is still saved somewhere. It still sends me the smaller 25% size image.

public class CameraTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Button cameraButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cameraButton);
    cameraButton.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener(){
        public void onClick(View v ){

            Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");

            startActivityForResult(intent,0);
        }
    });

}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode== 0 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Bitmap x = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        ((ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pictureView)).setImageBitmap(x);
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
        values.put(Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, "test");
        values.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "test Image taken");
        values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
        Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
        OutputStream outstream;
        try {
            outstream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
            x.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, outstream);
            outstream.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            //
        } catch (IOException e) {
            //
        }
    }
}

Also, I do know that the cupcake release of Android should fix the small image size soon.
