How to open front camera in android app

I am creating an app in which I'm using front camera.Please tell me how to open front camera when click on button using following code.My app is crashed when i click on button to open the camera.
public class MakePhotoActivity extends Activity {
// LogCat tag
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

Please help how can i resolved this.
Thanks

its throwing null ponter exception because your code is trying to acces file which is not yet captured by camera
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
and
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO);
i suggest to use this both lines in onActivityResult
your updated methods is
private void captureImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
and
private void recordVideo() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE);
}
Your OnActivityResult
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// if the result is capturing Image
if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+fileUri,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
// successfully captured the image
// launching upload activity
launchUploadActivity(true);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled Image capture
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled image capture", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to capture image
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Failed to capture image", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
} else if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+fileUri,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// video successfully recorded
// launching upload activity
launchUploadActivity(false);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled recording
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled video recording", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to record video
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

}
}

Cannot Upload Image From Gallery in Android Studio

I want to upload image from gallery in my android app. When I click on button, the gallery should be opened. After selecting image, I want to open another activity named UploadActivity. There the thumbnail of the image should be previewed. The Upload Button will below the thumbnail.
But when I Choose photo from gallery, then the thumbnail of the image are not previewing. I am unable to upload the photo also. My Code goes here: (Scan.Java)

File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = new File(path, "IMG_20170127_152930.jpg");
//Try this.

After these changes i suggested below I hope your problem will be solved:
Remove these two lines from openGallery() because I think they are redundant.
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
They are needed when we use Intent.ACTION_PICK. So after editing openGallery() looks like:
private void openGallery(){
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Image"),SELECT_IMAGE);
}
Add this statement in your onActivityResult() :
fileUri = data.getData();
so it looks:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
...
else if (requestCode == SELECT_IMAGE)
{
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
if (data != null)
{
fileUri = data.getData(); //added this line
launchUploadActivity(true);
}
} else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Same applies to the camera intent also.
Request EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and also run time permission if your target Android version is 6.0 or above.
EDIT:
Sorry couple of things I have not mentioned those are required are given bellow:
You may like to send the Uri instead of path this way:
private void launchUploadActivity(boolean isImage){
Intent i = new Intent(this, UploadActivity.class);
i.setData(fileUri);
// i.putExtra("filePath", fileUri.getPath());
i.putExtra("isImage", isImage);
startActivity(i);
}
And then in UploadActivity do the following:
...
private InputStream mInputStream; // Use this stream to create bitmap and upload to server
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
// Receiving the data from previous activity
Intent i = getIntent();
try {
mInputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(i.getData());
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
...
}
...
...
private void previewMedia(boolean isImage){
if (isImage) {
imgPreview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(mInputStream,null,options);
imgPreview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} else {
imgPreview.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
...
This works for me and hope will work on you too.

Launching a camera in onCreate causing an intermittent issue

I am trying to find the best way to implement a button in a MainActivity that launches the camera activity and returns the image to another activity. basically it returns the image to an activity to add a description to the image... what i thought would be a good idea is to start that single photo view activity when the camera button is pressed and from the new activity start the camera activity for result before doing anything else; but i have an intermittent issue that sometimes the camera gets stuck in a loop.
maybe there is a better approach? should i launch the camera activity for result first and then pass the image as an intent?
here is what i have now:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}else if ( id == R.id.menu_rules ){
Intent rulesIntent = new Intent(this, RulesActivity.class);
startActivity(rulesIntent);
return true;
}else if ( id == R.id.menu_import_photo ){
//pull in an image from the gallery
return true;
}else if ( id == R.id.menu_item_new_photo ){
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SinglePhotoViewActivity.class));
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
and the receiving activity..
public class SinglePhotoViewActivity extends Activity {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "Simple Camera App";
private static int TAKE_PICTURE = 1001;
private ImageView imageView;
private Uri imageUri;
private Bitmap bitmap;
private TextView textView;
private EditText editText;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_single_photo_view);
if ( bitmap == null )
takePhoto();
}
public void takePhoto(){
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
File photo = new File(Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment
//this will continually overwrite the same file
//need to implement a date/ time string
//to save as file name.
.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "pic.jpg");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
imageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch(requestCode) {
case 1001:
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
getContentResolver().notifyChange(imageUri, null);
imageView = (ImageView )findViewById(R.id.ivCameraImageView);
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
try {
bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver,
imageUri);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch(Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(SinglePhotoViewActivity.this, "failed to load",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.toString());
}
}
}
}
}

Your situation is similar to what happens often when ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent is launched (see e.g. Android startCamera gives me null Intent and ... does it destroy my global variable?).
The cause is that the system may decide to destroy the caller activity (in your case, the SinglePhotoViewActivity), and recreate it again after the launched activity (in your case, system Camera activity) returns the result.
The ultimate fix involves implementing onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) in the calling activity. But in your specific situation, there is a shortcut. Check the intent in onCreate(), and if it comes from the MainActivity, then launch Camera. Else, proceed as if you are going to receive onActivityResult() right now.

Android Preview Picture on Multiple ImageButtons

I'm trying to create an app that has an activity with two ImageButtons. When clicking each of the buttons, the camera opens and a picture is taken. once the picture is saved, it is presented as a preview inside the image button. I can do it for one of them but when clicking on the second it overrides the first image.
Is there a way to pass the element that was clicked to the onActivityResult method in order to set which ImageButton should include the picture?
The code is as follows:
// Activity request codes
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 100;
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE = 200;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO = 2;
// directory name to store captured images and videos
private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME = "Hello Camera";
private Uri fileUri; // file url to store image/video
private ImageButton imageButton;
private ImageButton imageButton2;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ask_activity_layout);
imageButton =(ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton);
imageButton2 =(ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton2);
// Checking camera availability
if (!isDeviceSupportCamera()) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Your device doesn't support camera",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// will close the app if the device does't have camera
finish();
}
}
The method that starts the capture image:
public void captureImage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
The onActivityResult method:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// if the result is capturing Image
if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// successfully captured the image
// display it in image view
// data.getComponent();
previewCapturedImage(null);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled Image capture
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled image capture", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to capture image
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Failed to capture image", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
} else if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// video successfully recorded
// preview the recorded video
previewCapturedImage(null);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled recording
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled video recording", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to record video
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Failed to record video", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
Finally the previewCapturedImage method:
private void previewCapturedImage(View view) {
try {
// hide video preview
//videoPreview.setVisibility(View.GONE);
imageButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
// bimatp factory
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// downsizing image as it throws OutOfMemory Exception for larger
// images
options.inSampleSize = 8;
final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.getPath(),
options);
**imageButton.setImageBitmap(bitmap);**
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I would like to pass the actual ImageButton clicked from the onActivityResult to the previewCaptureImage method to dynamically set the image either in ImageButton or ImageButton2.
Any help with this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Seb
PS: the code posted here was taken from the following example: http://www.androidhive.info/2013/09/android-working-with-camera-api/

Yes. That's the purpose of the requestCode parameter of the startActivityForResult function. You'll have to have a different code for each of the buttons that will 'receive' the image.
Something like:
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 100;
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE_SECONDARY = 101;
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE = 200;
And based on the requestCode choose the ImageView that will be assigned the captured bitmap.

How can I store the imagePath of the image that I took using the camera activity into the database and retrieving the path?

how to store the imagePath of the image that I had captured using the camera activity to database. I also need to retrieve that imagePath and display on another activity?
Can someone help me please?

I am supposed to get the imagePath that I have captured and show the image on the imageView that I had on the next class but I don't know how. Can someone help me?

try use this
bitmap = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
this will give you bitmap image, then you can save it to database or anything you want.
let me know if this not solve your problem.
