I have an app published and one of the fundamental features is to allow the user to take a picture, and then save that photo in a specific folder on their External Storage.
First lets make it clear - we have two options to take image data in onActivityResult from Camera:
1. Start Camera by passing the exact location Uri of image where you want to save.
2. Just Start Camera don't pass any Loaction Uri.
1 . IN FIRST CASE :
Start Camera by passing image Uri where you want to save:
String imageFilePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/picture.jpg";
File imageFile = new File(imageFilePath);
Uri imageFileUri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile); // convert path to Uri
Intent it = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
it.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageFileUri);
startActivityForResult(it, CAMERA_RESULT);
In onActivityResult receive the image as:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (RESULT_OK == resultCode) {
iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ReturnedImageView);
// Decode it for real
BitmapFactory.Options bmpFactoryOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
//imageFilePath image path which you pass with intent
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFilePath, bmpFactoryOptions);
// Display it
iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);
}
}
2 . IN SECOND CASE:
Start Camera without passing image Uri, if you want to receive image in Intent(data) :
Intent it = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(it, CAMERA_RESULT);
In onActivityResult recive image as:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (RESULT_OK == resultCode) {
// Get Extra from the intent
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
// Get the returned image from extra
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ReturnedImageView);
iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);
}
}
