Question

I need to take a picture with the camera, save the picture, show in ImageView and when I click the Imagevie

Answer 1

Since there is no proper solution for this, I will put here what I have put together that is working and correct.

ImageButton takepic = (ImageButton) returnView.findViewById(R.id.takepic);

    takepic.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent();
                            addPhoto();
                        }

                    });

Android Manifest :

Android Manifest again at the top :

External res/xml/file_paths.xml file:

CreateImageFile Function

private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
    // Create an image file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
    String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
     storageDir = getActivity().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    File image = File.createTempFile(
            imageFileName,  /* prefix */
            ".jpg",         /* suffix */
            storageDir      /* directory */
    );

    // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
    mCurrentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();

    return image;
}

AddPhoto Function

private void addPhoto() {
    // Camera.
    final List cameraIntents = new ArrayList();
    final Intent captureIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    final PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
    final List listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(captureIntent, 0);
    for(ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
        final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
        final Intent intent = new Intent(captureIntent);
        intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
        intent.setPackage(packageName);
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.MEDIA_IGNORE_FILENAME, ".nomedia");

        cameraIntents.add(intent);
    }

    // Filesystem.
    final Intent galleryIntent = new Intent();
    galleryIntent.setType("image/*");
    galleryIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

    // Chooser of filesystem options.
    final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "profileimg");

    // Add the camera options.
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, cameraIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
    File photoFile = null;
    try {
        photoFile = createImageFile();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        // Error occurred while creating the File

    }
    // Continue only if the File was successfully created
    if (photoFile != null) {
        Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(),
                "com.example.android.fileprovider",
                photoFile);
        chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, 100);}
}

On activity callback

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == 100) {
        try {

            Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
            Uri uri = data.getData();
            ImageButton takepic = (ImageButton) returnView.findViewById(R.id.takepic);
            if (extras!=null){
                Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
                Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult: "+mCurrentPhotoPath);


                takepic.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
            }


            String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);

            // Split at colon, use second item in the array
            String idx = wholeID.split(":")[1];

            String[] column = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};

            // where id is equal to
            String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";

            Cursor cursor = getContext().getContentResolver().
                    query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                            column, sel, new String[]{idx}, null);

            String filePath = "";

            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);

            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            }

            cursor.close();


            Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
            takepic.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Uploading In Progress",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.getMessage();
        }
}}
