setting picture captured by built-in camera into an ImageView - android

in my app i m calling built in camera for capturing picture but i want to set that picture into an image view following is the code . so what code should i add to it to set the picture into imageview.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == 0) {
String result = data.toURI();
// ...
}
}
Thanks in advance

Add a button and an ImageView to your main layout. When you click the button, first intent.putExtra to specify where the image will be stored, then start the camera intent. In your onActivityResult, if the resultCode comes back 0 that means the user accepted the picture. In this case, go grab the image from the path you specified as an extra of the intent. Create a bitmap from the file specified by the path, then set the image bitmap in your ImageView.

Capturing and displaying the same image

I am working on a semester project and it requires that I send images from an android device to server without storing the image. I want to make sure my cameta application is working properly. I want to check this using an ImageView that displays the captured image on the screen. How can I do it? I thought I could load from drawable but I cannot add files to drawable during runtime.
Thanks for any support
You don't need to save it to the drawable. These are the two steps:
1.Convert the captured image to Bitmap
2.Set the bitmap image to an imageview
Ref: StackOverflow Answer
private void takePicture(){ //you can call this every 5 seconds using a timer or whenever you want
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap picture = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");//this is your bitmap image and now you can do whatever you want with this
imageView.setImageBitmap(picture); //for example I put bmp in an ImageView
}
}

How to set ImageView URI with URI String?

I have an app where a user can find an image from the gallery and it will be shown on the screen through a button click. The user can exit the app and the image they chose can be saved, so when they click the button again, it will also be shown. The image is shown the first time when it is picked, but the saving functionality does not seem to be working since the image is not being shown after the user closes and reopens the app.
I have tried looking up what camera permissions I may need, but I have not had any luck. I don't know what I would need since the app is able to load the image the first time.
//This is the method that shows the image
public void showImage(View view)
{
LinearLayout scroll = findViewById(R.id.imageViewer);
for(String i: imgDataList){
ImageView image = new ImageView(this);
image.setImageURI(Uri.parse(i));
scroll.addView(image);
}
}
//This is the method that works with the image that is gotten from the gallery
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
String imgData = data.getDataString();
switch(requestCode) {
case 0:
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
imgDataList.add(imgData);
}
break;
case 1:
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
imgDataList.add(imgData);
}
break;
}
you may use sharedPreferences to store you image uri

How to save Image to sqlite?

These codes can only capture and display image I took, and when I pressed save button, it only saves "Note title" onto my list View. And when I clicked "Note Title" it doesn't display the picture anymore. What should I add to save it and update it? Thanks.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap mphoto = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageviewid.setImageBitmap(mphoto);
}
}
public void takeImageFromCamera(View view) {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
private void saveNote(){
fillNameIfEmpty();
id = DbAccess.addNote(getBaseContext(), etName.getText().toString(), mFileName, DbContract.NoteEntry.TYPE_PHOTO, currentCat);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.toast_saved, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
private void updateNote(){
fillNameIfEmpty();
DbAccess.updateNote(getBaseContext(), id, etName.getText().toString(), mFileName, currentCat);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.toast_updated, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Your DbAccess API doesn't know anything about an image in the note!
So I would extend your code to:
After picture is taken it saved in fail in application sandbox
Save filename of image assigned to note to database together with note
And don't forget to handle editing or deletion picture use cases!

image put into ImageView from taken picture not always showing up

An image taken from the camera doesn't always show up in my ImageView. It seems like it is random when it wants to show up. Why is it doing this?
Activity that takes picture
private void takePicture() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PICTURE);
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
String spokenText;
// Handles picture taking after finished
if (requestCode == REQUEST_PICTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap image = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
ImageView imageResult = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.result_image);
imageResult.setImageBitmap(image);
ImageHandler imageHandler = new ImageHandler(this);
imageHandler.writeToFile(image, step.getChecklistId(), step.getOrder());
step.setImageFilename(imageHandler.getFilename(step.getChecklistId(), step.getOrder()));
finishStep();
}
}
XML to show picture
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/result_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/taken_img_desc" />
Are you using notifyDataSetChanged for your adapter?
Is your view being refreshed? Try .invalidate();
One more thing: You might experience that the camera intent does not return an image or an uri to an image. I created a wrapper to help you with that. See the whole discussion on stackoverflow here or find the code on github.

Get Location of Saved Camera Picture

Okay, so I have an onclick on a button that opens the camera, when I take a picture and save it how do I get the file name+location of where it was saved to open it in my app?
Here is my button click
Button btncamera = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btncamera);
btncamera.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
Intent cameraIntent = nwe Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 2500);
}
}
Here is my Result it doesn't contain anything, but it will start another Intent to display the image:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
}
Maybe I am doing it wrong, but any guidance would be much appreciated thanks!
Try adding this to your onActivityResult.
Bitmap picture = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
Take the image out of the camera intent, create a bitmap out of it, and then use it from there. Write it to a file, or import it directly into a display resource.
Also be sure to check your ResultCode to determine if a picture actually has been taken.
