I'm calling the default camera from my activity and then handling the onActivityResult. My code seems to work fine on the LG Ally which doesn't have a confirmation when a picture is taken. However, when I run the same app on the Nexus S, it prompts me with an "Ok", "Retake", or "Cancel" before returning to my activity. While "Cancel" works, returning to my activity without saving the picture, "Ok" doesn't seem to have any effect, not even returning to my activity.
My code below:
private void captureImage() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
File path = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Images/" + (new UserContextAdapter(this)).getUser() + "/");
path.mkdirs();
File file = new File(path, "Image_Story_" + mRowId.toString() + ".jpg");
newImageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, newImageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE);
}
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
switch (requestCode) {
case CAPTURE_IMAGE:
switch (resultCode ) {
case 0:
Log.i("CAPTURE", "Cancelled by User");
break;
case -1:
mImageUri = newImageUri;
setImageFromUri();
}
}
I think I just had the exact same problem.
If the path to save the picture isn't correct, the camera won't return to your app. Once I made sure the directory exists, everything worked fine. Make sure the directory exists, then it should work.
-- Edit --
I just saw, that you call path.mkdirs(); but I think that it doesn't work. As you can read in the android doc "Note that this method does not throw IOException on failure. Callers must check the return value.". Please be sure to check if the directory really exists.
hth
Also, make sure your application has <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> if you're using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() above.
Hope this helps =)
please check this
Case 1:
Uri newImageUri = null;
File path = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Images/");
path.mkdirs();
boolean setWritable = false;
setWritable = path.setWritable(true, false);
File file = new File(path, "Image_Story_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
newImageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Log.i("MainActivity", "new image uri to string is " + newImageUri.toString());
Log.i("MainActivity", "new image path is " + newImageUri.getPath());
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, newImageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_CAPTURE_IMAGE);
Case 2:
String fileName = "" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, fileName);
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "Image capture by camera");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
Uri imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
Log.i("MainActivity", "new image uri to string is " + imageUri.toString());
Log.i("MainActivity", "new image path is " + imageUri.getPath());
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_CAPTURE_IMAGE);
I am able to save images through camera on nexus s in both of the above cases
In case 1:
a.Image is stored in custom folder.
b. If the “System.currentTimeMillis()” is changed to (“new Date().toString()”) image is not saved and camera does not return to my activity.
(Probably because “System.currentTimeMillis” has no spaces and “new Date().toString()” might be having some special characters and spaces)
In case 2:
a. Image is stored in camera folder
Thanks to all
I have same problem.You have to do only one job,in your Phone storage check that you have Pictures directory or not.If you don't have such library then make it manually.
Hope this works for you.

when i use this code ->
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
I am able to save the image to specified path but it is also saving to the gallery. I dont want to save the image to gallery. Please help here.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
try this
private void captureCameraImage() {
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getFilename());
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAMERA_PHOTO);
}
method to return file name that you can specify whre you want to save
public String getFilename() {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath(), "MyFolder/Images");
if (!file.exists()) {
file.mkdirs();
}
String uriSting = (file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
return uriSting;
}
Capture Image using below Intent -
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
// create a file to save the image
File MyDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "MyDir");
if (!MyDir.exists()){
MyDir.mkdirs()
}
File fileUri = new File(MyDir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + "IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
The gallery app scans the folders for Media contents and populates them in gallery.
If you wish not to display your captured images in gallery follow below methods-
Creating A .Nomedia File
Adding A Dot Prefix
I faced the same problem and implemented several workarounds similar to this one.
I tried also to keep the file hidden adding the . prefix to the filname and to put a .nomedia file (see MediaStore.MEDIA_IGNORE_FILENAME) within the folder where I stored the images but in some cases, calling the camera app via intent as usual
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
Uri fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), getString(R.string.file_provider_authority), file);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
} else {
showToastMessage(getString(R.string.no_camera_activity), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}
depending on the device and the camera app, this latter might store the picture also within the gallery (usually saving a file with a timestamp as the filename) even if you are providing an Uri associated to a file you are storing within your application private partition.
So I found that the most reliable way of doing what I needed was to control the camera directly by your own or to adopt cwac-cam2 library provided by CommonsWare within YourActivity in this way (note the commented .updateMediaStore() line)
Uri fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), getString(R.string.file_provider_authority), file);
CameraActivity.IntentBuilder builder = new CameraActivity.IntentBuilder(this); // this refers to the activity instance
Intent intent = builder
.skipConfirm()
.facing(Facing.BACK)
.to(fileUri)
//.updateMediaStore() // uncomment only if you want to update MediaStore
.flashMode(FlashMode.AUTO)
.build();
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
When the user takes a picture with the camera, I want the image displayed in an ImageView and I want to save the Uri to an online database. I heard saving the Uri of a picture is better than saving the path.
So this is how I start the camera:
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(getFile(getActivity())));
String a = String.valueOf(Uri.fromFile(getFile(getActivity())));
intent.putExtra("photo_uri", a);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FROM_CAMERA);
where
private File getFile(Context context){
File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File directory = new File (sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/Myapp");
if (!directory.exists()) {
directory.mkdirs();
}
String filename = "bl" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
File newFile = new File(directory, filename);
return newFile;
}
In onActivityResult:
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
String photo_uri = extras.getString("photo_uri"); //null
This is always null. Btw before sending the intent the Uri looks like file://... instead of content:// which is the uri when I open an image from the gallery. I don't know if that's a problem.
Also, should I save the path instead of the Uri to the database? I read that the Uri can be complicated in certain phones or Android versions. When I let the user select an image from the gallery, I save the Uri to the database, so I think the best way is saving the Uri in this case as well.
I tried out many variations, but I get null every time I try to pass a variable with the intent...
After starting the intent:
Intent intentPicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intentPicture,PICK_FROM_CAMERA);
In onActivityResult:
case PICK_FROM_CAMERA:
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
InputStream imageStream = null;
try {
imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImageUri);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
break;
That's all.
When I take a photo with my app I would like to save it like this
Android/data/com.androidproject/files/Camera/photo.png
However it is currently saving here, according to my Log.v statement
file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.androidproject/files/Camera/photo.png
This is my code
private class ClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File dir = new File(getActivity().getExternalFilesDir("Camera"),
"photo.png");
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(dir);
Log.v("FILE", "" + outputFileUri);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CALL_BACK);
}
}
So, why isn't the file saving to the desired location? How do I fix it?
use getFilesDir() instead of getExternalFilesDir() to save them to the internal memory.
File f = new File(getFilesDir() + File.separator + "Camera" + File.separator + "photo.png");
f.mkdirs();
This will setup your new file, and make sure the path to it exists.
I try take photo from camera this way:
private void photo() {
String storageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (storageState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
String directory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.getName() + File.separatorChar + "app/photo/";
mPushFilePath = directory + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
File imageFile = new File(mPushFilePath);
Uri mImageFileUri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
mImageFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_RESULT);
}
}
And I take picture in method onActivityResult from path mPushFilePath
In all devices this code working perfectly. But in Lenovo A750, when I try get picture, button v (or ok) doesn't work. Please, help me to fix this.
I solved the problem this way: When need to call the camera, if the device Lenovo, I call the custom camera that made myself. If not, everything is as it used to.
I have implemented a code to save the captured video to a custom location.
// Constants
final static int REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURED = 1;
String CAPTURE_TITLE="MyVideo.3gp";
// Specified the desired location here
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM", CAPTURE_TITLE);
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile( file );
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURED);
Now On Activity result I m getting the default path only and not the desired path where i intent to save the video.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
Uri capturedImageUri = data.getData();
Toast.makeText(this, capturedImageUri .getPath(), TOAST.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Now I dont know why it is not saving it to desired location similar thing I did try with Image capture and it worked.
Also I have added the desired permissions.
Any thoughts!!
try this instead...
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)), CAPTURE_TITLE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM", CAPTURE_TITLE);
Change To:
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/", CAPTURE_TITLE);
