Android Intent for Capturing both Images and Videos?

Question

Is there an Intent for starting a camera with options to capture both Pictures and Videos on Android?

I\'ve used both MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE and MediaStore.

Answer 1

I achieved it :) You can do it by following --

    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
Intent contentSelectionIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            contentSelectionIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
            contentSelectionIntent.setType("*/*");
    intentArray = new Intent[]{takePictureIntent,takeVideoIntent};
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, contentSelectionIntent);
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Choose an action");
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, 1);
