My application requires me to call an intent to take a photo. The photo cannot be in the gallery but instead must be in a specific directory on the SD card. Originally I just used the EXTRA_OUTPUT, but I soon discovered the following: – Some devices use it completely and skip the gallery. – Some … Read more
Adding this first conditional should work: protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if(resultCode != RESULT_CANCELED){ if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) { Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get(“data”); imageView.setImageBitmap(photo); } } }
Your first Intent is invalid. The protocol for ACTION_PICK requires you to supply a Uri indicating the collection you are picking from. What is the best way to let the user choose what app to retrieve the picture from every time? If you want the user to choose something based on MIME type, use ACTION_GET_CONTENT. … Read more
I had the same issue and find this doc from google: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE “Note: if you app targets M and above and declares as using the CAMERA permission which is not granted, then atempting to use this action will result in a SecurityException.” This is really weird.

private static final int TAKE_PICTURE = 1; private Uri imageUri; public void takePhoto(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), “Pic.jpg”); intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo)); imageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo); startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE); } @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); switch (requestCode) { case TAKE_PICTURE: if (resultCode == … Read more
There are quite a few similar topics and issues around here. Since you’re not writing your own camera, I think it boils down to this: some devices rotate the image before saving it, while others simply add the orientation tag in the photo’s exif data. I’d recommend checking the photo’s exif data and looking particularly … Read more
this is a well documented bug in some versions of android. that is, on google experience builds of android, image capture doesn’t work as documented. what i’ve generally used is something like this in a utilities class. public boolean hasImageCaptureBug() { // list of known devices that have the bug ArrayList<String> devices = new ArrayList<String>(); … Read more
Most phone cameras are landscape, meaning if you take the photo in portrait, the resulting photos will be rotated 90 degrees. In this case, the camera software should populate the Exif data with the orientation that the photo should be viewed in. Note that the below solution depends on the camera software/device manufacturer populating the … Read more
