camera.takepicture failed on some devices like moto e

My application got crashed on devices with no SD cards in it, but is working fine with devices which are having SD card in it.When i debugged it, i found that on
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, jpegCallBack);
Method app is getting crashed with above error.I goggled a lot but didn't found any solution , i saw this link :-
http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/102987-camera-won-t-take-pictures-without-sd-card.html
So is it possible to capture images in background service in device with no SD card in it.
Please provide me some clues
Here are some methods of my hiddenCamera class

mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator

// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
}
}
try {

data.length);
// set file out stream
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
// set compress format quality and stream
userImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, out);

if (mediaStorageDir.exists()) {

}

}
};
And also isSDPresent always returns me true value .
Please provide me your suggestions on this. I am really stuck at this point from last 2-3 days.
This is the issue of Device too as in Samsung Grand , my code is working fine even its not having SD card in it.But in Moto E its my application getting crashed.Camera settings plays an important role in it.
Thanks

Finally i am done with this, though i got busy in some other task but today i get time to post my Answer on this topic, As this topis is very general , so i am posting this answer inorder to help others who might have thought of this functionality , So i done this thing by using SurfaceTexture but it will only work for versions greater thet 4 and for versions less than 4 you need to use surfaceView.
So here is my code :-
public class SurfaceTextureActivity extends Activity implements
SurfaceTextureListener {
private Parameters mParameters;
private Camera.Size mPictureSize;
private static final String sIMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME = "HiddenCapturedPics";
private byte[] mByteArray;
private Camera mCamera;
private TextureView mTextureView;
private File mMediaFile, mMediaStorageDir = null;
private String mEncodedImage, mImageName, mFinalResponse,
mFlashMode;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mTextureView = new TextureView(this);
setContentView(mTextureView);
if (checkCameraHardware(getApplicationContext())) {
mTextureView.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
mFlashMode = extras.getString("FLASH");
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Your Device dosen't have a Camera !", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
}
/** Check if this device has a camera */
private boolean checkCameraHardware(Context context) {
if (context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(
PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surface, int width,
int height) {
mCamera = Camera.open();
mTextureView.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(0, 0,
Gravity.CENTER));
try {
mCamera.setPreviewTexture(surface);
} catch (IOException t) {
}
mCamera.startPreview();
startCapturingCall();
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(SurfaceTexture surface, int width,
int height) {
// Ignored, the Camera does all the work for us
}
#Override

mCamera.release();
return true;

Android service to capture a image from the front cam(in the background) [duplicate]

I have an android app which consists of a Button.
When you click on Button, an image should be captured from the camera without opening the camera application (the image should be captured in background).
How to implement this feature?
Any suggestions will be of great help.
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have to create a fake Surface view that doesn't appears to the users and then you can achieve by the following code
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

public static final int PERIOD = 1;
private Camera camera;

If you are using CAMERA2 API (added in API 21), then kindly check my answer here Capture picture without preview using camera2 API
Hope that helped :)

You can do that using CameraX. It is used to create your own camera app so you can do that by just omitting the preview part. Go to the below link for a small tutorial on cameraX https://developer.android.com/codelabs/camerax-getting-started#0 and you can just copy paste the code. For androidx.camera.view.PreviewView just put width=0 and height=0 and you will get the required result.

Android picture capture from surfaceView

i am try to to capture image,which previews in a surfaceview and there is a button by which picture taken and save onto memory card.preview and capture works well but not able to store on memory card..

android camera start activity after picture taken

I am creating small app which previews camera and when clicking on screen saves image.
My problem is when image is saved, I want to start different activity which will do preview and have some tools on it. But what ever I do activity doesn't start.
Here is my code
public class CameraActivity extends Activity {
private SurfaceView preview = null;
private SurfaceHolder previewHolder = null;
private Camera camera = null;
private boolean inPreview = false;
private boolean cameraConfigured = false;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.camera);
preview = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.preview);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (camera != null) {
camera.takePicture(null, null, photoCallback);
onPause();
Intent intent = new Intent(CameraActivity.this, PreviewAndSaveActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("image", "");
CameraActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
}
}
});
previewHolder = preview.getHolder();
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallback);
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
for (int i = 0; i < Camera.getNumberOfCameras(); i++) {
Camera.getCameraInfo(i, info);
if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK) {
camera = Camera.open(i);
}
}
}
if (camera == null) {
camera = Camera.open();
}
startPreview();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {

}

} else {
int resultArea = result.width * result.height;

if (newArea > resultArea) {

}
}
}
}
return (result);
}

}
}
}
return (result);
}

} catch (Throwable t) {

}
if (!cameraConfigured) {

Camera.Size pictureSize = getSmallestPictureSize(parameters);
if (size != null && pictureSize != null) {

}
private void startPreview() {

SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// no-op -- wait until surfaceChanged()

public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
camera.takePicture(null, null, new PhotoHandler(
getApplicationContext()));
camera.startPreview();
inPreview = true;
}
};
}
And in PhotoHandler after decoding and saving image I want to start activity
public class PhotoHandler implements PictureCallback {
private final Context context;
public PhotoHandler(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
File pictureFileDir = getDir();
if (!pictureFileDir.exists() && !pictureFileDir.mkdirs()) {
Log.d("", "Can't create directory to save image.");
Toast.makeText(context, "Can't create directory to save image.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmddhhmmss");
String date = dateFormat.format(new Date());
String photoFile = "pic_" + date + ".jpg";
String pictureName = pictureFileDir.getPath() + File.separator
+ photoFile;
File pictureFile = new File(pictureName);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
fos.write(data);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, PreviewAndSaveActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("image", pictureName);
context.startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception error) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Image could not be saved.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} finally {
if (fos != null) {
try {
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
}
private File getDir() {
File sdDir = Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
return new File(sdDir, "dir");
}
}
Any suggestion what am I doing wrong?

try this code :
(Replace your button click listener )
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (camera != null) {
camera.takePicture(null, null, photoCallback);
onPause();
Intent intent = new Intent(CameraActivity.this, PreviewAndSaveActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("image", "");
CameraActivity.this.startActivityForResult(intent, 100);
}
}
});
In your CameraActivity add this callback method to redirect on another activity after image save :
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 100) {
// start you new activity from here...
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

why camera is not working properly?

I am using camera in my application,I have no done more work on camera my requirement is only taken picture and with front and back camera and flash light.Camera will be open inside a customview for that I am using this code:-
