I need to call Intent for image and video both at same time . It seems impossible similar to this . So a alternate way to do this is createChooser() . But i am kinda stuck with the code below .
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, file.getAbsolutePath());
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
takeVideoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, file.getAbsolutePath());
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
Intent[] intentArray = new Intent[]{takePictureIntent};
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, takeVideoIntent);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Choose an action");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, 1);
MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT not working . The file is empty after returning from camera . However it does open a chooser as below but file is empty .
Questions:-
1.How to can i combine both intents and provide separate files as MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT?
2. As we all know there are hundreds of camera apps in android so is this a good way to open such intent(Will it work in all devices regardless of manufacturer and API Level) ? Or i should move with an AlertDialog to open intent for each action seperatly .
Try this below code :
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(takePictureIntent, "Capture Image or Video");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[]{takeVideoIntent});
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAMERA_IMAGES_REQUEST);

I'm using this code to open camera intent :
Intent takePicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
takePicture.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION, ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
startActivityForResult(takePicture, 0);
And it works fine but only on Samsung devices (8\9) with android 8
after I take a picture the preview is all blurry ,
anyone got that weird behavior ?
( I also tried without the putExtra line )
Here are the screenshots :

you have to give a photo path Uri as an extra in the camera intent as:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), mUserID + ".jpg");
Uri photoPath = getUriForFile(mContext, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, file);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoPath); //--> here
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete action using"), REQUEST_CODE_CAMERA);
then, you can get the captured image in that Uri itself in onActivityResult
This is our code for video picker, pretty much standard code. This code works in Android version before Nougat, however, it raises an exception in nougat.
private void pickVideoFromGallery(Activity activity){
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("video/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
activity.startActivityForResult(intent, MediaPicker.TYPE_FILEVIDEO);
}
And the exception is
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle
Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK cat=[android.intent.category.OPENABLE]
typ=video/* launchParam=MultiScreenLaunchParams { mDisplayId=0 mFlags=0 } }
However if I uncomment following line, it starts working but that's not the solution as we are looking to select only openable videos
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
Any idea?
Launch default file picker with videos.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("video/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
galleryIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
galleryIntent.setType("video/*");
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, galleryIntent);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "File Chooser");
so I have the code below working fine until android 4.4. I was able to get the path from the uri by intent.getData() in onActivityResult then do something special about the uri to get the path of the photo that was selected.
private Intent createPhotoIntent() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
Intent chooser = createPhotoChooserIntent(createPhotoFromCameraIntent());
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, intent);
return chooser;
}
private Intent createPhotoChooserIntent(Intent... intents) {
Intent chooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intents);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Please Choose Your Image");
return chooser;
}
private Intent createPhotoFromCameraIntent() {
return new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
what I dont understand is why I'm not able to get anything from intent.getData() now?? I also insert a line break to check what I received from the intent in onActivityResult, and I see nothing related to the path. I was able to see content://media/external/images/media/1249 but not anymore now....what happen to android 4.4!!??
please help.
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.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE to capture either audio or video, but I can't find an Intent that will get the option for switching between both of them, as in this example app:
Thanks!
It is not possible to capture both image and video using the same intent, Your options are
1) Create your own camera this repo can be a good start But it is going to be a too much effort.
2) Use the Chooser Intent and pass the intent for both image and video, this will give you the option to choose between application which record video and camera separately. In this you cannot do both the things at same time but can choose application according to what you want to do, capture an image or record a video. Below is the code that works for me.
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(takePictureIntent, "Capture Image or Video");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[]{takeVideoIntent});
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAPTURE_MEDIA_RESULT_CODE);
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);

Happy coding :)
I could capture both image and video by using the below code.
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA);
In my project I want to let the user pick a picture either from the gallery or take a new one from the camera. Do I need to create my own menu for the user to choose or is there something built into the SDK that does this already?
Use the below code to put chooser for gallery and Camera together. I really dont know if this will work with startActivityForResult. Give it a try
Intent galleryintent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, null);
galleryintent.setType("image/*");
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Intent chooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, galleryintent);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "title");
Intent[] intentArray = {cameraIntent};
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivity(chooser);
