I want to make a Dialog Screen Like WhatsApp Profile Photo Dialog Screen

hello Friends....
I am currently trying to make a Dialog using Implicit Intent where i want to show my Dialog like whatsApp(Profile Photo Screen) and in this screen whatsApp are using extra field named as "Remove Photo". When i try to make same type of screen Dialog then i am unable to add this extra field("Remove Photo"). i have done all code. its working fine for three option in Dialog like(Gallery,Photo,Camera) and i am unable to handle these all in onActivityResult() . I am sending my all source code i have tried much hard , but i am not able to find the solution to do so. plz..... friends help me out from this.
In this code i am simply create a method named as openFileChooser() in which i have write all the code for creating Dialog Screen and handle this outcomes in onActivityResult()
Here Is my code
ProfilePhotoActivity.java
public class ProfilePhotoActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
ImageButton back, editPhoto, selectAction;
ImageView imgCamera;
private static final int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 2888;
protected static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 0;
protected static final int GALLERY_PICTURE = 1;
private Uri mCapturedImageURI = null;
Intent intent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_profilephoto);
back=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btn_back);
editPhoto=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.ibEditPhoto);
selectAction=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.ibSelectAction);
imgCamera=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imvProfilePhoto);
editPhoto.setOnClickListener(this);
selectAction.setOnClickListener(this);
back.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btn_back:
ProfilePhotoActivity.this.finish();
break;
case R.id.ibEditPhoto:
openFileChooser(null, null);
// startDialog();
break;
case R.id.ibSelectAction:
break;
}
}
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType){
try{
// Create AndroidExampleFolder at sdcard
File imageStorageDir = new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
, "AndroidExampleFolder");
if (!imageStorageDir.exists()) {
// Create AndroidExampleFolder at sdcard
imageStorageDir.mkdirs();
}
// Create camera captured image file path and name
File file = new File(
imageStorageDir + File.separator + "IMG_"
+ String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())
+ ".jpg");
mCapturedImageURI = Uri.fromFile(file);
// Camera capture image intent
final Intent captureIntent = new Intent(
android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
captureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mCapturedImageURI);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
// i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
// Create file chooser intent
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Chooser");
// Set camera intent to file chooser
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS
, new Parcelable[] { captureIntent });
// On select image call onActivityResult method of activity
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
catch(Exception e){
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Exception:"+e,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,Intent intent) {
if(requestCode==FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
{
if (requestCode == GALLERY_PICTURE)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
if (intent != null)
{
// our BitmapDrawable for the thumbnail
BitmapDrawable bmpDrawable = null;
// try to retrieve the image using the data from the intent
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(intent.getData(), null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null)
{
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ImageColumns.DATA);
String fileSrc = cursor.getString(idx);
Bitmap galleryBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileSrc); // load preview image
galleryBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(galleryBitmap, 200, 200, true);
String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.getAbsolutePath()+"/TimeChat/image/"+System.currentTimeMillis()+".jpg";
//imgCamera.setRotation(0);
imgCamera.setImageBitmap(galleryBitmap);
// writeToFile(filePath, galleryBitmap);
}
else
{
bmpDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), intent.getData().getPath());
imgCamera.setImageDrawable(bmpDrawable);
}
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
else if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
if (intent.hasExtra("data"))
{
// retrieve the bitmap from the intent
Bitmap cameraBitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getExtras().get("data");
String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.getAbsolutePath()+"/TimeChat/image/"+System.currentTimeMillis()+".jpg";
// update the image view with the bitmap
imgCamera.setImageBitmap(cameraBitmap);
// writeToFile(filePath, circleBitmap);
}
else if (intent.getExtras() == null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No extras to retrieve!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
BitmapDrawable thumbnail = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), intent.getData().getPath());
// update the image view with the newly created drawable
imgCamera.setImageDrawable(thumbnail);
}
}
else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onBackPressed();
ProfilePhotoActivity.this.finish();
}
}

This looks like it will be a problem:
if(requestCode==FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
{
if (requestCode == GALLERY_PICTURE)
unless FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE and GALLERY_PICTURE are the same ints then statement will never pass.

It may be possible to use request code to distinguish between "types" of photos i.e.
protected static final int MY_FACE_PHOTO = 0;
protected static final int MY_CAR_PHOTO = 1;
protected static final int MY_HOUSE_PHOTO = 2;
And you may use Intent.putExtra(String name, String value) when you create Intents before starting new activity, like:
#NonNls protected static final String STRING_EXTRA = "string_extra";
#NonNls protected static final String CAMERA = "camera";
#NonNls protected static final String GALLERY = "gallery";
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
cameraIntent.putExtra(STRING_EXTRA, CAMERA);
galleryIntent.putExtra(STRING_EXTRA, GALLERY)
startActivityForResult(takePicture,
MY_FACE_PHOTO /* put here your desired request code */)
After that in onActivityResult() method you may use them:
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
if(intent != null)
{
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
String extraString = intent.getStringExtra(STRING_EXTRA);
if(extraString.equals(CAMERA))
{
// ... i. e.
switch (requestCode)
{
case MY_FACE_PHOTO:
{
// ...
break;
}
case MY_CAR_PHOTO:
{
// ...
break;
}
case MY_HOUSE_PHOTO:
{
// ...
break;
}
default:
{
// ...
break;
}
}
}
else if(extraString.equals(GALLERY))
{
// ...
}
}
else
{
// ...
}
}
}

Capturing a picture and than displaying within an ImageView - Android

Hey guys I am using my webcam to simulate a camera in the emulator and when I go to take the picture and select the check mark button to use the picture I run across an error while trying to display the image back into my ImageView on the app.
Here is my code:
Initiator:
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
function....
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
//OI FILE Manager
filemanagerstring = selectedImageUri.getPath();
//MEDIA GALLERY
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
img.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);
imagePath.getBytes();
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath);
Log.w("Here","error");
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath);
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gimg1);
image.setImageBitmap(bm);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED){
}
}
}
I run across a runtime error
Suggestions and thoughts are needed!

You can use the following codes. It's fully functional and allows you set image from both your camera and gallery as well. I am almost sure that your runtime error is "OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget" as I am seeing that you have loaded the captured image directly to your imageView. You should scale it , please take a look at the method called GetScaledBitmap in my following code. Hope your codes will work ok if you use that method only when you load the image to your imageview. Full example is done for you , Hope it helps.

You were calling data.getData() whereas it should have been data.getExtra("data") as data is an intent which you will have put the bitmap

Very Simple way to Click button and set store image in imageview.
`public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 22;
Uri cameraUri;
Button BtnSelectImage;
private ImageView ImgPhoto;
private String Camerapath ;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ImgPhoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
BtnSelectImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
BtnSelectImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Couldn't load photo", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
try {
switch (requestCode) {
case CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
ImgPhoto.setImageBitmap(photo);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Couldn't load photo", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
break;
default:
break;
}
} catch (Exception e) {

Set this Manifest.

Android: Use native camera in custom application [duplicate]

I want to write a module where on a click of a button the camera opens and I can click and capture an image. If I don't like the image I can delete it and click one more image and then select the image and it should return back and display that image in the activity.

Here's an example activity that will launch the camera app and then retrieve the image and display it.
package edu.gvsu.cis.masl.camerademo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MyCameraActivity extends Activity {
private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888;
private ImageView imageView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
this.imageView = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Button photoButton = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
photoButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}
}
Note that the camera app itself gives you the ability to review/retake the image, and once an image is accepted, the activity displays it.
Here is the layout that the above activity uses. It is simply a LinearLayout containing a Button with id button1 and an ImageView with id imageview1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<Button android:id="#+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="#string/photo"></Button>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/imageView1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="#drawable/icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
And one final detail, be sure to add:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"></uses-feature>
and if camera is optional to your app functionality. make sure to set require to false in the permission. like this
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"></uses-feature>
to your manifest.xml.

Update (2020)
Google has added a new ActivityResultRegistry API that "lets you handle the startActivityForResult() + onActivityResult() as well as requestPermissions() + onRequestPermissionsResult() flows without overriding methods in your Activity or Fragment, brings increased type safety via ActivityResultContract, and provides hooks for testing these flows" - source.
The API was added in androidx.activity 1.2.0-alpha02 and androidx.fragment 1.3.0-alpha02.
So you are now able to do something like:
val takePicture = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture()) { success: Boolean ->
if (success) {
// The image was saved into the given Uri -> do something with it
}
}
val imageUri: Uri = ...
button.setOnClickListener {
takePicture.launch(imageUri)
}
Take a look at the documentation to learn how to use the new Activity result API: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result#kotlin
There are many built-in ActivityResultContracts that allow you to do different things like pick contacts, request permissions, take pictures or take videos. You are probably interested in the ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture shown above.
Note that androidx.fragment 1.3.0-alpha04 deprecates the startActivityForResult() + onActivityResult() and requestPermissions() + onRequestPermissionsResult() APIs on Fragment. Hence it seems that ActivityResultContracts is the new way to do things from now on.
Original answer (2015)
It took me some hours to get this working. The code it's almost a copy-paste from developer.android.com, with a minor difference.
Request this permission on the AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
On your Activity, start by defining this:
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
private Bitmap mImageBitmap;
private String mCurrentPhotoPath;
private ImageView mImageView;
Then fire this Intent in an onClick:
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (cameraIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
Log.i(TAG, "IOException");
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
Add the following support method:
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, // prefix
".jpg", // suffix
storageDir // directory
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
Then receive the result:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
mImageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath));
mImageView.setImageBitmap(mImageBitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
What made it work is the MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath)), which is different from the code from developer.android.com. The original code gave me a FileNotFoundException.

I know it's a quite old thread, but all these solutions are not completed and don't work on some devices when user rotates camera because data in onActivityResult is null. So here is solution which I have tested on lots of devices and haven't faced any problem so far.
First declare your Uri variable in your activity:
private Uri uriFilePath;
Then create your temporary folder for storing captured image and make intent for capturing image by camera:
PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
if (packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
File mainDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyFolder/tmp");
if (!mainDirectory.exists())
mainDirectory.mkdirs();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
uriFilePath = Uri.fromFile(new File(mainDirectory, "IMG_" + calendar.getTimeInMillis()));
intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriFilePath);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
And now here comes one of the most important things, you have to save your uriFilePath in onSaveInstanceState, because if you didn't do that and user rotated his device while using camera, your uri would be null.
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
if (uriFilePath != null)
outState.putString("uri_file_path", uriFilePath.toString());
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
After that you should always recover your uri in your onCreate method:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
if (uriFilePath == null && savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path") != null) {
uriFilePath = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path"));
}
}
}
And here comes last part to get your Uri in onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
String filePath = uriFilePath.getPath(); // Here is path of your captured image, so you can create bitmap from it, etc.
}
}
}
P.S. Don't forget to add permissions for Camera and Ext. storage writing to your Manifest.

Here you can open camera or gallery and set the selected image into imageview
private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "/YourDirectName";
private Context mContext;
private CircleImageView circleImageView; // imageview
private int GALLERY = 1, CAMERA = 2;
Add permissions in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
In onCreate()
requestMultiplePermissions(); // check permission
circleImageView = findViewById(R.id.profile_image);
circleImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
showPictureDialog();
}
});
Show options dialog box (to select image from camera or gallery)
private void showPictureDialog() {
AlertDialog.Builder pictureDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
pictureDialog.setTitle("Select Action");
String[] pictureDialogItems = {"Select photo from gallery", "Capture photo from camera"};
pictureDialog.setItems(pictureDialogItems,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case 0:
choosePhotoFromGallary();
break;
case 1:
takePhotoFromCamera();
break;
}
}
});
pictureDialog.show();
}
Get photo from Gallery
public void choosePhotoFromGallary() {
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, GALLERY);
}
Get photo from Camera
private void takePhotoFromCamera() {
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA);
}
Once the image is get selected or captured then ,
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == this.RESULT_CANCELED) {
return;
}
if (requestCode == GALLERY) {
if (data != null) {
Uri contentURI = data.getData();
try {
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), contentURI);
String path = saveImage(bitmap);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Saved!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
circleImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
} else if (requestCode == CAMERA) {
Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
circleImageView.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
saveImage(thumbnail);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Saved!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Now its time to store the picture
public String saveImage(Bitmap myBitmap) {
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
myBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);
File wallpaperDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + IMAGE_DIRECTORY);
if (!wallpaperDirectory.exists()) { // have the object build the directory structure, if needed.
wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs();
}
try {
File f = new File(wallpaperDirectory, Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() + ".jpg");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this,
new String[]{f.getPath()},
new String[]{"image/jpeg"}, null);
fo.close();
Log.d("TAG", "File Saved::--->" + f.getAbsolutePath());
return f.getAbsolutePath();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
return "";
}
Request permission
private void requestMultiplePermissions() {
Dexter.withActivity(this)
.withPermissions(
Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,

.withListener(new MultiplePermissionsListener() {

You need to read up about the Camera. (I think to do what you want, you'd have to save the current image to your app, do the select/delete there, and then recall the camera to try again, rather than doing the retry directly inside the camera.)

Here is code I have used for Capturing and Saving Camera Image then display it to imageview. You can use according to your need.
You have to save Camera image to specific location then fetch from that location then convert it to byte-array.
Here is method for opening capturing camera image activity.
private static final int CAMERA_PHOTO = 111;
private Uri imageToUploadUri;
private void captureCameraImage() {
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "POST_IMAGE.jpg");
chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
imageToUploadUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAMERA_PHOTO);
}
then your onActivityResult() method should be like this.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PHOTO && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if(imageToUploadUri != null){
Uri selectedImage = imageToUploadUri;
getContentResolver().notifyChange(selectedImage, null);
Bitmap reducedSizeBitmap = getBitmap(imageToUploadUri.getPath());
if(reducedSizeBitmap != null){
ImgPhoto.setImageBitmap(reducedSizeBitmap);
Button uploadImageButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.uploadUserImageButton);
uploadImageButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}else{
Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}else{
Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
Here is getBitmap() method used in onActivityResult(). I have done all performance improvement that can be possible while getting camera capture image bitmap.
private Bitmap getBitmap(String path) {
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(path));
InputStream in = null;
try {
final int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1200000; // 1.2MP
in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
// Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
in.close();
int scale = 1;
while ((o.outWidth * o.outHeight) * (1 / Math.pow(scale, 2)) >
IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
scale++;
}
Log.d("", "scale = " + scale + ", orig-width: " + o.outWidth + ", orig-height: " + o.outHeight);
Bitmap b = null;
in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
if (scale > 1) {
scale--;
// scale to max possible inSampleSize that still yields an image
// larger than target
o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inSampleSize = scale;
b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
// resize to desired dimensions
int height = b.getHeight();
int width = b.getWidth();
Log.d("", "1th scale operation dimenions - width: " + width + ", height: " + height);
double y = Math.sqrt(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE
/ (((double) width) / height));
double x = (y / height) * width;
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, (int) x,
(int) y, true);
b.recycle();
b = scaledBitmap;
System.gc();
} else {
b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
}
in.close();
Log.d("", "bitmap size - width: " + b.getWidth() + ", height: " +
b.getHeight());
return b;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("", e.getMessage(), e);
return null;
}
}
Hope it helps!

Add these permission in Androidmenifest.xml file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

I created a dialog with the option to choose Image from gallery or camera.
with a callback as
Uri if the image is from the gallery
String as a file path if the image is captured from the camera.
Image as File the image chosen from camera needs to be uploaded on the internet as Multipart file data
At first we to define permission in AndroidManifest as we need to write external store while creating a file and reading images from gallery
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Create a file_paths xml in
app/src/main/res/xml/file_paths.xml
with path
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Then we need to define file provier to generate Content uri to access file stored in external storage
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">

in manifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />

As others have discussed, using data.getExtras().get("data") will just get the low-quality thumbnail.
The solution is to pass a location with your ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent telling the camera where to store the full quality image.
The code is Kotlin and does not need any permissions.
val f = File("${getExternalFilesDir(null)}/imgShot")
val photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "${packageName}.fileprovider", f)
val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
.apply { putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI) }
startActivityForResult(intent, 1234)
Then handle the result after the picture was taken:
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
if (requestCode == 1234 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(
File("${getExternalFilesDir(null)}/imgShot").toString()
)
// use imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) or whatever
}
}
You will also need to add an external FileProvider as described here. AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest>
<application>
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/provide_paths" />
</provider>
</application>
</manifest>
Add a new file app/src/main/res/xml/provide_paths.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<external-path name="external_files" path="." />
</paths>
Lastly you should replace 1234 with your own logic for keeping track of request code (usually an enum with a member such as RequestCode.CAPTURE_IMAGE)

You can use this code to onClick listener (you can use ImageView or button)
image.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, 1);
}
}
});
To display in your imageView
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
bitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
Note: Insert this to the manifest
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" />

You can use custom camera with thumbnail image.
You can look my project.

Here is the complete code:
package com.example.cameraa;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btnTackPic;
Uri photoPath;
ImageView ivThumbnailPhoto;
static int TAKE_PICTURE = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Get reference to views
btnTackPic = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bt1);
ivThumbnailPhoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
btnTackPic.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, TAKE_PICTURE);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == TAKE_PICTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap)intent.getExtras().get("data");
ivThumbnailPhoto.setImageBitmap(photo);
ivThumbnailPhoto.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
}
Remember to add permissions for the camera too.

2021 May, JAVA

Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); gets a thumbnail from camera. There is an article about how to store a picture in external storage from camera.
useful link

Please, follow this example with this implementation by using Kotlin and Andoirdx support:
button1.setOnClickListener{
file = getPhotoFile()
val uri: Uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(applicationContext, "com.example.foto_2.filrprovider", file!!)
captureImage.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri)
val camaraActivities: List<ResolveInfo> = applicationContext.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(captureImage, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
for (activity in camaraActivities) {
applicationContext.grantUriPermission(activity.activityInfo.packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
}
startActivityForResult(captureImage, REQUEST_PHOTO)
}
And the activity result:
if (requestCode == REQUEST_PHOTO) {
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(applicationContext, "com.example.foto_2.filrprovider", file!!)
applicationContext.revokeUriPermission(uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
imageView1.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener {
width = imageView1.width
height = imageView1.height
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , width , height))
}
if(width!=0&&height!=0){
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , width , height))
}else{
val size = Point()
this.windowManager.defaultDisplay.getSize(size)
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , size.x , size.y))
}
}
You can get more detail in https://github.com/joelmmx/take_photo_kotlin.git
I hope it helps you!

Use the following code to capture picture using your mobile camera.
If you are using android having version higher than Lolipop, You should add the permission request also.
private void cameraIntent()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
#override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}

Bad quality
From my experience if we use
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_ADD_PHOTO);
And handle in onActivityResult() with
Bitmap thumbnail= (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
It will give you thumbnail only and of course have a bad quality.
Nice quality
You can show camera and save your image file in public directory, example in Document directory
Use this in your onClick()
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS) +
File.separator + "your_image_name.jpeg";
Intent i =new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
imageFile = new File(imagePath );
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(imageFile));
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_ADD_PHOTO);
And in onActivityResult()
Bitmap imageBitmap1 = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
Bitmap imageBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(imageBitmap1, 0, 0, imageBitmap1.getWidth(), imageBitmap1.getHeight(), matrix, true);
binding.imageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
I use postRotate() because in my code, image result rotate to left so I need to rotate it 90

Open an image with Android Gallery [duplicate]

I am trying to open an image / picture in the Gallery built-in app from inside my application.
I have a URI of the picture (the picture is located on the SD card).
Do you have any suggestions?

This is a complete solution. I've just updated this example code with the information provided in the answer below by #mad. Also check the solution below from #Khobaib explaining how to deal with picasa images.
Update
I've just reviewed my original answer and created a simple Android Studio project you can checkout from github and import directly on your system.
https://github.com/hanscappelle/SO-2169649
(note that the multiple file selection still needs work)
Single Picture Selection
With support for images from file explorers thanks to user mad.
public class BrowsePictureActivity extends Activity {
// this is the action code we use in our intent,
// this way we know we're looking at the response from our own action
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
findViewById(R.id.Button01)
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
/**
* helper to retrieve the path of an image URI
*/
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
// just some safety built in
if( uri == null ) {
// TODO perform some logging or show user feedback
return null;
}
// try to retrieve the image from the media store first
// this will only work for images selected from gallery
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if( cursor != null ){
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String path = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
return path;
}
// this is our fallback here
return uri.getPath();
}
}
Selecting Multiple Pictures
Since someone requested that information in a comment and it's better to have information gathered.
Set an extra parameter EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE on the intent:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
And in the Result handling check for that parameter:
if (Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE.equals(data.getAction()))
&& Intent.hasExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM)) {
// retrieve a collection of selected images
ArrayList<Parcelable> list = intent.getParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
// iterate over these images
if( list != null ) {
for (Parcelable parcel : list) {
Uri uri = (Uri) parcel;
// TODO handle the images one by one here
}
}
}
Note that this is only supported by API level 18+.

Here is an update to the fine code that hcpl posted. but this works with OI file manager, astro file manager AND the media gallery too (tested). so i guess it will work with every file manager (are there many others than those mentioned?). did some corrections to the code he wrote.
public class BrowsePicture extends Activity {
//YOU CAN EDIT THIS TO WHATEVER YOU WANT
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
//ADDED
private String filemanagerstring;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
((Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
//UPDATED
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
//OI FILE Manager
filemanagerstring = selectedImageUri.getPath();
//MEDIA GALLERY
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
//DEBUG PURPOSE - you can delete this if you want
if(selectedImagePath!=null)
System.out.println(selectedImagePath);
else System.out.println("selectedImagePath is null");
if(filemanagerstring!=null)
System.out.println(filemanagerstring);
else System.out.println("filemanagerstring is null");
//NOW WE HAVE OUR WANTED STRING
if(selectedImagePath!=null)
System.out.println("selectedImagePath is the right one for you!");
else
System.out.println("filemanagerstring is the right one for you!");
}
}
}
//UPDATED!
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor!=null)
{
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
else return null;
}

hcpl's methods work perfectly pre-KitKat, but not working with the DocumentsProvider API. For that just simply follow the official Android tutorial for documentproviders: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html -> open a document, Bitmap section.
Simply I used hcpl's code and extended it: if the file with the retrieved path to the image throws exception I call this function:
private Bitmap getBitmapFromUri(Uri uri) throws IOException {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
return image;
}
Tested on Nexus 5.

basis with the above code, I reflected the code like below, may be it's more suitable:
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String selectedImagePath;
//1:MEDIA GALLERY --- query from MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null){
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
selectedImagePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
}else{
selectedImagePath = null;
}
if(selectedImagePath == null){
//2:OI FILE Manager --- call method: uri.getPath()
selectedImagePath = uri.getPath();
}
return selectedImagePath;
}

I went through the solution from #hcpl & #mad. hcpl's solution supports well for local image in the gallery & mad provided a better solution on top of that - it helps to load OI/Astro/Dropbox image as well. But in my app, while working on picasa library that's now integrated in Android Gallery, both solution fail.
I searched & analyzed a bit & eventually have come with a better & elegant solution that overcomes this limitation. Thanks to Dimitar Darazhanski for his blog, that helped me in this case, I modified a bit to make it easier to understand. Here is my solution goes -
public class BrowsePicture extends Activity {
//YOU CAN EDIT THIS TO WHATEVER YOU WANT
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
//ADDED
private String filemanagerstring;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
((Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
Log.d("URI VAL", "selectedImageUri = " + selectedImageUri.toString());
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
if(selectedImagePath!=null){
// IF LOCAL IMAGE, NO MATTER IF ITS DIRECTLY FROM GALLERY (EXCEPT PICASSA ALBUM),
// OR OI/ASTRO FILE MANAGER. EVEN DROPBOX IS SUPPORTED BY THIS BECAUSE DROPBOX DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE
// IN THIS FORM - file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/...
System.out.println("local image");
}
else{
System.out.println("picasa image!");
loadPicasaImageFromGallery(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
}
// NEW METHOD FOR PICASA IMAGE LOAD
private void loadPicasaImageFromGallery(final Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaColumns.DATA, MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
if (columnIndex != -1) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
// NEW THREAD BECAUSE NETWORK REQUEST WILL BE MADE THAT WILL BE A LONG PROCESS & BLOCK UI
// IF CALLED IN UI THREAD
public void run() {
try {
Bitmap bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
// THIS IS THE BITMAP IMAGE WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}).start();
}
}
cursor.close();
}
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaColumns.DATA);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
else
return uri.getPath(); // FOR OI/ASTRO/Dropbox etc
}
Check it & let me know if there's some issue with it. I have tested it & it works well in every case.
Hope this will help everyone.

Assuming you have an image folder in your SD card directory for images only.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
// tells your intent to get the contents
// opens the URI for your image directory on your sdcard
intent.setType("file:///sdcard/image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
Then you can decide with what you would like to do with the content back in your activity.
This was an example to retrieve the path name for the image, test this with your code just to make sure you can handle the results coming back. You can change the code as needed to better fit your needs.
protected final void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int
resultCode, final Intent i) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, i);
// this matches the request code in the above call
if (requestCode == 1) {
Uri _uri = i.getData();
// this will be null if no image was selected...
if (_uri != null) {
// now we get the path to the image file
cursor = getContentResolver().query(_uri, null,
null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String imageFilePath = cursor.getString(0);
cursor.close();
}
}
My advice is to try to get retrieving images working correctly, I think the problem is the content of accessing the images on the sdcard. Take a look at Displaying images on sd card.
If you can get that up and running, probably by the example supplying a correct provider, you should be able to figure out a work-around for your code.
Keep me updated by updating this question with your progress. Good luck

this is my revisit to this topic, gathering all the information here, plus from other relevant stack overflow questions. It returns images from some provider, while handling out-of-memory conditions and image rotation. It supports gallery, picasa and file managers, like drop box. Usage is simple: as input, the constructor receives the content resolver and the uri. The output is the final bitmap.
/**
* Creates resized images without exploding memory. Uses the method described in android
* documentation concerning bitmap allocation, which is to subsample the image to a smaller size,
* close to some expected size. This is required because the android standard library is unable to
* create a reduced size image from an image file using memory comparable to the final size (and
* loading a full sized multi-megapixel picture for processing may exceed application memory budget).

how to get bitmap information and then decode bitmap from internet-inputStream?

There are two useful tutorials about image picker with downloadable source code here:
How to Create Android Image Picker
How to Select and Crop Image on Android
However, the app will be forced to close sometime, you can fix it by adding android:configChanges attribute into main activity in Manifest file like as:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" >
It seems that the camera API lost control with orientation so this will help it. :)

To display images and videos try this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Wybierz plik"), SELECT_FILE);

Below solution work for 2.3(Gingerbread)-4.4(Kitkat), 5.0(Lollipop) and 6.0(Marshmallow) also:-
Step 1 Code for opening the gallery to select pics:
public static final int PICK_IMAGE = 1;
private void takePictureFromGalleryOrAnyOtherFolder()
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);
}
Step 2 Code for getting data in onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String imagePath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
//Now you have imagePath do whatever you want to do now
}//end of inner if
}//end of outer if
}
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
//Uri contentUri = Uri.parse(contentURI);
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 19) {
// Will return "image:x*"
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(contentUri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, sel, new String[] { id }, null);
} else {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,
projection, null, null, null);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String path = null;
try {
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(column_index).toString();
cursor.close();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return path;
}

Just in case it helps; I do this to get the Bitmap:
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

Above Answers are correct. I faced an different issue where in HTC M8 my application crashes when selecting an image from gallery. I'm getting null value for image path. I fixed and optimized with the following solution. in onActivityResult method
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE) && (resultCode == RESULT_OK)) {
if (data != null) {
Uri selectedImageUri = null;
selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor imageCursor = mainActivity.getContentResolver().query(
selectedImageUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
if (imageCursor == null) {
return;
}
imageCursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = imageCursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
picturePath = imageCursor.getString(columnIndex);
if (picturePath == null) {
picturePath = selectedImageUri.getPath();
String wholeID = DocumentsContract
.getDocumentId(selectedImage);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = mainActivity.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[] { id }, null);
columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
}
picturePathAbs = new File(picturePath).getAbsolutePath();
imageCursor.close();
}
}

Retrieve a specific type of file
This example will get a copy of the image.
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_GET = 1;
public void selectImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_GET);
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_GET && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap thumbnail = data.getParcelable("data");
Uri fullPhotoUri = data.getData();
// Do work with photo saved at fullPhotoUri
...
}
}
Open a specific type of file
When running on 4.4 or higher, you request to open a file that's managed by another app
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN = 1;
public void selectImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
// Only the system receives the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, so no need to test.
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri fullPhotoUri = data.getData();
// Do work with full size photo saved at fullPhotoUri
...
}
}

Additional to previous answers, if you are having problems with getting the right path(like AndroZip) you can use this:
public String getPath(Uri uri ,ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor;
try{
cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
} catch (SecurityException e){
String path = uri.getPath();
String result = tryToGetStoragePath(path);
return result;
}
if(cursor != null) {
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
else
return uri.getPath(); // FOR OI/ASTRO/Dropbox etc
}
private String tryToGetStoragePath(String path) {
int actualPathStart = path.indexOf("//storage");
String result = path;
if(actualPathStart!= -1 && actualPathStart< path.length())
result = path.substring(actualPathStart+1 , path.length());
return result;
}

here is my example, might not be as your case exactly.
assuming that you get base64 format from your API provider, give it a file name and file extension, save it to certain location in the file system.
public static void shownInBuiltInGallery(final Context ctx, String strBase64Image, final String strFileName, final String strFileExtension){
new AsyncTask<String, String, File>() {
#Override
protected File doInBackground(String... strBase64Image) {
Bitmap bmpImage = convertBase64StringToBitmap(strBase64Image[0], Base64.NO_WRAP);
if(bmpImage == null) {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
byte[] byImage = null;
if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_JPG) == 0) {
byImage = convertToJpgByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_PNG) == 0){
byImage = convertToPngByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_BMP) == 0){
byImage = convertToBmpByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
if(byImage == null) {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
File imageFolder = ctx.getExternalCacheDir();
if(imageFolder.exists() == false){
if(imageFolder.mkdirs() == false){
cancel(true);
return null;
}
}
File imageFile = null;
try {
imageFile = File.createTempFile(strFileName, strFileExtension, imageFolder);
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(imageFile == null){
cancel(true);
return null;
}
if (imageFile.exists() == true) {
if(imageFile.delete() == false){

return null;
}
}
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(imageFile.getPath());
fos.write(byImage);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
fos = null;
}
return imageFile;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(File file) {
super.onPostExecute(file);
String strAuthority = ctx.getPackageName() + ".provider";
Uri uriImage = FileProvider.getUriForFile(ctx, strAuthority, file);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uriImage, "image/*");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
ctx.startActivity(intent);
}
}.execute(strBase64Image);}
Don't forget to set up a proper file provider at first place in AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/file_paths"/>
</provider>
where the file path is a xml in .../res/xml/file_path.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<external-files-path name="external_files" path="Accessory"/>
<external-path name="ex_Download" path="Download/" />
<external-path name="ex_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<external-files-path name="my_Download" path="Download/" />
<external-files-path name="my_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<external-cache-path name="my_cache" path="." />
<files-path name="private_Download" path="Download/" />
<files-path name="private_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<cache-path name="private_cache" path="." />
Long story short, have file provider ready at first, pass Uri to Intent for known and accessible picture source, otherwise, save the picture in desired location and then pass the location (as Uri) to Intent.

Capture Image from Camera and Display in Activity

I want to write a module where on a click of a button the camera opens and I can click and capture an image. If I don't like the image I can delete it and click one more image and then select the image and it should return back and display that image in the activity.

Here's an example activity that will launch the camera app and then retrieve the image and display it.
package edu.gvsu.cis.masl.camerademo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MyCameraActivity extends Activity {
private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888;
private ImageView imageView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
this.imageView = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Button photoButton = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
photoButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}
}
Note that the camera app itself gives you the ability to review/retake the image, and once an image is accepted, the activity displays it.
Here is the layout that the above activity uses. It is simply a LinearLayout containing a Button with id button1 and an ImageView with id imageview1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<Button android:id="#+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="#string/photo"></Button>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/imageView1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="#drawable/icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
And one final detail, be sure to add:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"></uses-feature>
and if camera is optional to your app functionality. make sure to set require to false in the permission. like this
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"></uses-feature>
to your manifest.xml.

Update (2020)
Google has added a new ActivityResultRegistry API that "lets you handle the startActivityForResult() + onActivityResult() as well as requestPermissions() + onRequestPermissionsResult() flows without overriding methods in your Activity or Fragment, brings increased type safety via ActivityResultContract, and provides hooks for testing these flows" - source.
The API was added in androidx.activity 1.2.0-alpha02 and androidx.fragment 1.3.0-alpha02.
So you are now able to do something like:
val takePicture = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture()) { success: Boolean ->
if (success) {
// The image was saved into the given Uri -> do something with it
}
}
val imageUri: Uri = ...
button.setOnClickListener {
takePicture.launch(imageUri)
}
Take a look at the documentation to learn how to use the new Activity result API: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result#kotlin
There are many built-in ActivityResultContracts that allow you to do different things like pick contacts, request permissions, take pictures or take videos. You are probably interested in the ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture shown above.
Note that androidx.fragment 1.3.0-alpha04 deprecates the startActivityForResult() + onActivityResult() and requestPermissions() + onRequestPermissionsResult() APIs on Fragment. Hence it seems that ActivityResultContracts is the new way to do things from now on.
Original answer (2015)
It took me some hours to get this working. The code it's almost a copy-paste from developer.android.com, with a minor difference.
Request this permission on the AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
On your Activity, start by defining this:
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
private Bitmap mImageBitmap;
private String mCurrentPhotoPath;
private ImageView mImageView;
Then fire this Intent in an onClick:
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (cameraIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
Log.i(TAG, "IOException");
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
Add the following support method:
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, // prefix
".jpg", // suffix
storageDir // directory
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
Then receive the result:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
mImageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath));
mImageView.setImageBitmap(mImageBitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
What made it work is the MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath)), which is different from the code from developer.android.com. The original code gave me a FileNotFoundException.

I know it's a quite old thread, but all these solutions are not completed and don't work on some devices when user rotates camera because data in onActivityResult is null. So here is solution which I have tested on lots of devices and haven't faced any problem so far.
First declare your Uri variable in your activity:
private Uri uriFilePath;
Then create your temporary folder for storing captured image and make intent for capturing image by camera:
PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
if (packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
File mainDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyFolder/tmp");
if (!mainDirectory.exists())
mainDirectory.mkdirs();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
uriFilePath = Uri.fromFile(new File(mainDirectory, "IMG_" + calendar.getTimeInMillis()));
intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriFilePath);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
And now here comes one of the most important things, you have to save your uriFilePath in onSaveInstanceState, because if you didn't do that and user rotated his device while using camera, your uri would be null.
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
if (uriFilePath != null)
outState.putString("uri_file_path", uriFilePath.toString());
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
After that you should always recover your uri in your onCreate method:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
if (uriFilePath == null && savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path") != null) {
uriFilePath = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path"));
}
}
}
And here comes last part to get your Uri in onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
String filePath = uriFilePath.getPath(); // Here is path of your captured image, so you can create bitmap from it, etc.
}
}
}
P.S. Don't forget to add permissions for Camera and Ext. storage writing to your Manifest.

Here you can open camera or gallery and set the selected image into imageview
private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "/YourDirectName";
private Context mContext;
private CircleImageView circleImageView; // imageview
private int GALLERY = 1, CAMERA = 2;
Add permissions in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
In onCreate()

Get photo from Gallery
public void choosePhotoFromGallary() {

startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, GALLERY);
}
Get photo from Camera

startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA);
}
Once the image is get selected or captured then ,
#Override

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == this.RESULT_CANCELED) {
return;
}

Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
circleImageView.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
saveImage(thumbnail);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Saved!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Now its time to store the picture
public String saveImage(Bitmap myBitmap) {
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
myBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);
File wallpaperDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + IMAGE_DIRECTORY);

f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this,
new String[]{f.getPath()},
new String[]{"image/jpeg"}, null);
fo.close();
Log.d("TAG", "File Saved::--->" + f.getAbsolutePath());
return f.getAbsolutePath();
} catch (IOException e1) {

return "";
}
Request permission

You need to read up about the Camera. (I think to do what you want, you'd have to save the current image to your app, do the select/delete there, and then recall the camera to try again, rather than doing the retry directly inside the camera.)

Here is code I have used for Capturing and Saving Camera Image then display it to imageview. You can use according to your need.
You have to save Camera image to specific location then fetch from that location then convert it to byte-array.
Here is method for opening capturing camera image activity.
private static final int CAMERA_PHOTO = 111;
private Uri imageToUploadUri;
private void captureCameraImage() {
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "POST_IMAGE.jpg");
chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
imageToUploadUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAMERA_PHOTO);
}
then your onActivityResult() method should be like this.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PHOTO && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if(imageToUploadUri != null){
Uri selectedImage = imageToUploadUri;
getContentResolver().notifyChange(selectedImage, null);
Bitmap reducedSizeBitmap = getBitmap(imageToUploadUri.getPath());
if(reducedSizeBitmap != null){
ImgPhoto.setImageBitmap(reducedSizeBitmap);
Button uploadImageButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.uploadUserImageButton);
uploadImageButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}else{
Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}else{
Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
Here is getBitmap() method used in onActivityResult(). I have done all performance improvement that can be possible while getting camera capture image bitmap.
private Bitmap getBitmap(String path) {
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(path));
InputStream in = null;
try {
final int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1200000; // 1.2MP
in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
// Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
in.close();
int scale = 1;
while ((o.outWidth * o.outHeight) * (1 / Math.pow(scale, 2)) >
IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
scale++;
}
Log.d("", "scale = " + scale + ", orig-width: " + o.outWidth + ", orig-height: " + o.outHeight);
Bitmap b = null;
in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
if (scale > 1) {
scale--;
// scale to max possible inSampleSize that still yields an image
// larger than target
o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inSampleSize = scale;
b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
// resize to desired dimensions
int height = b.getHeight();
int width = b.getWidth();
Log.d("", "1th scale operation dimenions - width: " + width + ", height: " + height);
double y = Math.sqrt(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE
/ (((double) width) / height));
double x = (y / height) * width;
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, (int) x,
(int) y, true);
b.recycle();
b = scaledBitmap;
System.gc();
} else {
b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
}
in.close();
Log.d("", "bitmap size - width: " + b.getWidth() + ", height: " +
b.getHeight());
return b;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("", e.getMessage(), e);
return null;
}
}
Hope it helps!

Add these permission in Androidmenifest.xml file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

I created a dialog with the option to choose Image from gallery or camera.
with a callback as
Uri if the image is from the gallery
String as a file path if the image is captured from the camera.
Image as File the image chosen from camera needs to be uploaded on the internet as Multipart file data
At first we to define permission in AndroidManifest as we need to write external store while creating a file and reading images from gallery
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Create a file_paths xml in
app/src/main/res/xml/file_paths.xml
with path
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Then we need to define file provier to generate Content uri to access file stored in external storage
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">

in layout.xml:

android:id="#+id/imageButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/XXXXXXX"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
in manifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />

As others have discussed, using data.getExtras().get("data") will just get the low-quality thumbnail.
The solution is to pass a location with your ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent telling the camera where to store the full quality image.
The code is Kotlin and does not need any permissions.
val f = File("${getExternalFilesDir(null)}/imgShot")
val photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "${packageName}.fileprovider", f)
val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
.apply { putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI) }
startActivityForResult(intent, 1234)
Then handle the result after the picture was taken:
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
if (requestCode == 1234 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(
File("${getExternalFilesDir(null)}/imgShot").toString()
)
// use imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) or whatever
}
}
You will also need to add an external FileProvider as described here. AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest>
<application>
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/provide_paths" />
</provider>
</application>
</manifest>
Add a new file app/src/main/res/xml/provide_paths.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<external-path name="external_files" path="." />
</paths>
Lastly you should replace 1234 with your own logic for keeping track of request code (usually an enum with a member such as RequestCode.CAPTURE_IMAGE)

You can use this code to onClick listener (you can use ImageView or button)
image.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, 1);
}
}
});
To display in your imageView
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
bitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
Note: Insert this to the manifest
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" />

You can use custom camera with thumbnail image.
You can look my project.

Here is the complete code:
package com.example.cameraa;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btnTackPic;
Uri photoPath;
ImageView ivThumbnailPhoto;
static int TAKE_PICTURE = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Get reference to views
btnTackPic = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bt1);
ivThumbnailPhoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
btnTackPic.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, TAKE_PICTURE);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == TAKE_PICTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap)intent.getExtras().get("data");
ivThumbnailPhoto.setImageBitmap(photo);
ivThumbnailPhoto.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
}
Remember to add permissions for the camera too.

2021 May, JAVA
after handling necessary Permissions described next to this post,
in manifest add:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="true" />
....
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
....
where ${applicationId} is app's package name , e.g. my.app.com.
In res->xml->provider_paths.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<external-files-path name="my_images" path="Pictures" />
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
<files-path
name="files" path="." />
<external-cache-path
name="images" path="." />
</paths>
in Activity:
private void onClickCaptureButton(View view) {
Intent takePictureIntent_ = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent_.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile_ = null;
try {
photoFile_ = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
}
if(photoFile_!=null){
picturePath=photoFile_.getAbsolutePath();
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile_ != null) {
Uri photoURI_ = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"my.app.com.fileprovider", photoFile_);
takePictureIntent_.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI_);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent_, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
}
And three more moves:
...
private static String picturePath;
private static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 2;
...
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp_ = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new

Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); gets a thumbnail from camera. There is an article about how to store a picture in external storage from camera.
useful link

Please, follow this example with this implementation by using Kotlin and Andoirdx support:
button1.setOnClickListener{
file = getPhotoFile()
val uri: Uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(applicationContext, "com.example.foto_2.filrprovider", file!!)
captureImage.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri)
val camaraActivities: List<ResolveInfo> = applicationContext.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(captureImage, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
for (activity in camaraActivities) {
applicationContext.grantUriPermission(activity.activityInfo.packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
}
startActivityForResult(captureImage, REQUEST_PHOTO)
}
And the activity result:
if (requestCode == REQUEST_PHOTO) {
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(applicationContext, "com.example.foto_2.filrprovider", file!!)
applicationContext.revokeUriPermission(uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
imageView1.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener {
width = imageView1.width
height = imageView1.height
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , width , height))
}
if(width!=0&&height!=0){
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , width , height))
}else{
val size = Point()
this.windowManager.defaultDisplay.getSize(size)
imageView1.setImageBitmap(getScaleBitmap(file!!.path , size.x , size.y))
}
}

I hope it helps you!

Use the following code to capture picture using your mobile camera.
If you are using android having version higher than Lolipop, You should add the permission request also.
private void cameraIntent()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
#override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}

Bad quality
From my experience if we use
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_ADD_PHOTO);
And handle in onActivityResult() with
Bitmap thumbnail= (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
It will give you thumbnail only and of course have a bad quality.
Nice quality
You can show camera and save your image file in public directory, example in Document directory
Use this in your onClick()
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS) +
File.separator + "your_image_name.jpeg";
Intent i =new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
imageFile = new File(imagePath );
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(imageFile));
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_ADD_PHOTO);
And in onActivityResult()
Bitmap imageBitmap1 = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
Bitmap imageBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(imageBitmap1, 0, 0, imageBitmap1.getWidth(), imageBitmap1.getHeight(), matrix, true);
binding.imageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
I use postRotate() because in my code, image result rotate to left so I need to rotate it 90
