I'm trying to take a photo with this code:
capturarFoto.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("debugging","Has clicat al botó");
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1888);
}
});
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if( requestCode == 1888 && resultCode == -1) { //-1 = TOT HA ANAT BE.
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
Log.d("debugging",""+photo.getHeight());
Log.d("debugging",""+photo.getWidth());
((ImageView) myFragmentView.findViewById(R.id.fotoCapturada)).setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}
And this is working perfectly, as I capture the photo, it's shown in the ImageView. But I'm trying to create some sort of editable options, rotation, etc. So I don't want to save it (so gallery already cached it!!).
I've read some similar questions, and this is something that would be great to do:
Create a folder on SDCARD
Save temporary picture there
Create a .nomedia file so gallery don't access it.
Remove or save applies on the picture, and leave it on that folder.
I'm trying to update above code, to adapt it to achieve these points, but the code I find in google, always use other apis, some of them, old...
Is there any "easy" way to achieve this?
The part of creating folder and creating that file, isn't a big deal, so:
- How can I set a saving route to the pictures I take with my App?
Thank you.
Edit:
Okay, I found some code, but It isn't working (even I gave SD writing permissions):
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/folder/" + "filename" + ".jpg");
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1888);
Well, finally I found out how to save the picture into a URI we want:
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("debugging","Has clicat al botó");
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/ImagesFolder/");
folder.mkdirs();
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
Uri uriSavedImage=Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/ImagesFolder/imatge.jpg"));
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1888);
}
That's it.
Remember to give permissions to write on SDCard.

I am using SquareCamera library (https://github.com/boxme/SquareCamera) for taking square picture.The problem I am facing is that SquareCamera is creating its own folder where taken pics are getting stored. I want these pics to store in my own folder. I don't know how to achieve that. I am very new to android. Below is the code where instead of default camera I am calling its own class.
public void onLaunchCamera(View view) {
// create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application
Intent intent = new Intent(this,CameraActivity.class);
// Start the image capture intent to take photo
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
And this is the onActivityResult method
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri takenPhotoUri = data.getData();
Bitmap takenImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(takenPhotoUri.getPath());
imageView.setImageBitmap(takenImage);
I thought about saving this bitmap into my own folder but I couldn't think how to delete the created directory of SquareCamera.
So I found the solution. I added the library as a module in my app. Referring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MyBO9z7ojk). And there I changed the source code a little bit and now it's working perfect.
I'm a bit long in the tooth at Android and am not 100% with the new Uri methods of file access enforced since KitKat. For conventional file access you can get a private writeable file using.
private static final File OUTPUT_DIR = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
FileOutputStream fos;
void yourMethodBeginsHere() {
String outputPath = new File(OUTPUT_DIR, "test.png").toString();
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(outputPath, false);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Work with file
}
If you need a truly external file path please refer to the excellent answer already existing at https://stackoverflow.com/a/26765884/5353361 which deals fully with the new Uri based system of permissions and the integrated file explorer.
I'm trying to save a photo to external storage and display it in a ImageView, but I don't want other apps can access this photo. I try to create a new File with the method getFilesDir() as the directory argument when I want to create that file, but if I ask if I can write to it (to save the image), it return that I can't (see the code for more details).
Note that the app has the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
public void takePhoto(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "my_image.jpg");
// Check if I can write in this path (I always get that I can't)
if (file.canWrite()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "I can write!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "I CAN'T WRITE!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(file));
startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "my_image.jpg");
Bitmap bitmap = decodeSampledBitmapFromFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), 1000, 700);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
However, if I use the Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() method, I'm able to save the photo.
I think I might be misunderstanding anything about how File works, but I don't know exactly what. I have no FC, the image just doesn't show in the ImageView.
If you save to an external storage everyone will see the image :
Here's External Storage!
Then when you receive the callback onActivityResult you will receive the URI from the image
Uri mUriFile = data.getData()
Then depending on the OS version you can get the file path
Here´s a good post to get it Android Gallery on KitKat returns different Uri for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
I'm getting pictures with the next code:
public void foto(View v) {
nom_foto = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ aptr.ruta_temp + cuadrilla + "/" + medidor + "_"+ cont_foto + ".jpg";
File arch = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ aptr.ruta_temp+ cuadrilla);
if (!arch.exists())
arch.mkdirs();
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
int code = TAKE_PICTURE;
Uri output = Uri.fromFile(new File(nom_foto));
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, output);
startActivityForResult(intent, code);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == TAKE_PICTURE) {
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.minifoto);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
new MediaScannerConnectionClient() {
private MediaScannerConnection msc = null;
{
msc = new MediaScannerConnection(getApplicationContext(), this);
msc.connect();
}
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {msc.scanFile(nom_foto,null);
}
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri)
{ msc.disconnect();}};
Toast.makeText(usuario_lectura.this,"Foto N° " + cont_foto + " agregada correctamente", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
cont_foto++;
iv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
iv.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(nom_foto));
}
}
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
File file = new File(nom_foto);
if (file.exists())
file.delete();
}
}
}
Everything works properly, the picture has taken correctly and saved on the SD card... But, I have to add a watermarker, including the date... How can I add it?, the camera activity doesn't give me these option...
In order to add a textual or graphical watermark to your image from the camera, you must open the image, edit it in a Canvas with Paint/Graphics overlays, then re-encode it as a .jpg image, and re-save it as a file on the SD card. You can save over the original file from the camera. All of these steps are fairly straightforward.
There is, however, a serious hurdle.
Most devices will not be able to open the full-size image from the camera in a single Bitmap. There is not enough heap memory available. Therefore, you will have to use a scale factor inSampleSize to open your image. Thus, the watermarked image will be forever smaller by some factor than the original from the camera.
I do not think there is any way around this issue :(
I've got a problem in saving a picture in a full size after capturing it using ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent the picture become very small , its resolution is 27X44 I'm using 1.5 android emulator, this is the code and I will appreciate any help:
myImageButton02.setOnClickListener
(
new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
// create camera intent
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
//Grant permission to the camera activity to write the photo.
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
//saving if there is EXTRA_OUTPUT
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new File
(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "testExtra" + String.valueOf
(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg")));
// start the camera intent and return the image
startActivityForResult(intent,1);
}
}
);
#Override
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
// if Activity was canceled, display a Toast message
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
{
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this,"camera cancelled", 10000);
toast.show();
return;
}
// lets check if we are really dealing with a picture
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
String timestamp = Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis());
// get the picture
Bitmap mPicture = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
// save image to gallery
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), mPicture, timestamp, timestamp);
}
}
}
Look at what you are doing:
you specify a path where your just taken picture is stored with intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new File (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "testExtra" + String.valueOf (System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg")));
when you access the picture you 'drag' the data out of the intent with Bitmap mPicture = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
Obviously, you don't access the picture from its file. As far as I know Intents are not designed to carry a large amount of data since they are passed between e.g. Activities. What you should do is open the picture from the file created by the camera intent. Looks like that:
BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// Limit the filesize since 5MP pictures will kill you RAM
bitmapOptions.inSampleSize = 6;
imgBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathToPicture, bitmapOptions);
That should do the trick. It used to work for me this way but I am experiencing problems since 2.1 on several devices. Works (still) fine on Nexus One.
Take a look at MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.
Hope this helps.

For my application, I'd been using my own Camera class for taking images and my own database but soon enough I couldn't really keep up with changes and I decided to use the built in camera application in Android to do the job, but I can't seem to get it to save file. What am I missing here? The application seems to save the file but it's just 0 bytes. I looked up the source code of the Camera application and it's looking for the "output" in Extras to save the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Public class CameraTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button cameraButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cameraButton);
cameraButton.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v ){
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
values.put(Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, "test");
values.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "test Image taken");
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
intent.putExtra("output", uri.getPath());
startActivityForResult(intent,0);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode== 0 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
((ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pictureView)).setImageURI(data.getData());
}
}
}
This worked with the following code, granted I was being a little dumb with the last one. I still think there's got to be a better way so that the original image is still saved somewhere. It still sends me the smaller 25% size image.
public class CameraTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button cameraButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cameraButton);
cameraButton.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v ){
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
startActivityForResult(intent,0);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode== 0 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap x = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
((ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pictureView)).setImageBitmap(x);
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
values.put(Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, "test");
values.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "test Image taken");
values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
OutputStream outstream;
try {
outstream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
x.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, outstream);
outstream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
//
} catch (IOException e) {
//
}
}
}
Also, I do know that the cupcake release of Android should fix the small image size soon.
The below code will start the default camera and have the camera save the image to the specified uri. The key is to put the extra "MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT" along with the desired uri.
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Images/" + image_name + ".jpg");
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
In your first attempt, it could be that the Camera app crashes when it reads your "output" extra, since it expects it to be a Uri, while you provide a String. The Camera app seems to read the extra flag after capturing the photo. You should just provide uri, and not uri.getPath(). Then, since you already know the URI to the photo, it will not be returned in the onResult call. You need to remember the URI in a member variable.
In the second attempt you will get a scaled down (50%) bitmap back. It is primarily intended for views. I think the full sized bitmap is too large for the memory budget of the application. This may be the reason for the downscale.
FYI , found this on docs :
The caller may pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control where this image will be written. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is not present, then a small sized image is returned as a Bitmap object in the extra field. This is useful for applications that only need a small image. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is present, then the full-sized image will be written to the Uri value of EXTRA_OUTPUT.
located here :http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html
so the app can save full size image for you , if you tell it where.
**Edit : This is not the case with HTC devices. HTC (not nexus) that uses htc sense ui have branched from android 1.5 and carry a bug that always save the image in low res. you can lunch activity for camera and use the share function from camera to use the full sized image.
I got the same Problem with the Emulator,
I tried it on a real Phone an it worked,
maybe it is because the Virtual Phone can't really take Picures.
