I am having a problem capturing an image and storing it from the native camera app. Here is a sample of some of my code.
_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "make_machine_example.jpg";
File file = new File( _path );
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile( file );
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE );
intent.putExtra( MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri );
startActivityForResult( intent, 0 );
After the picture has been taken and I'm returned back to my original Activity, When I navigate to my sd card via Android DDMS File Explorer the picture is not there. Anyone know why this is not being saved?
Here was the final product in case anyone is still visiting this thread:
public class CameraCapture extends Activity {
protected boolean _taken = true;
File sdImageMainDirectory;
protected static final String PHOTO_TAKEN = "photo_taken";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
try {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
File root = new File(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "myDir" + File.separator);
root.mkdirs();
sdImageMainDirectory = new File(root, "myPicName");
startCameraActivity();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
finish();
Toast.makeText(this, "Error occured. Please try again later.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
protected void startCameraActivity() {
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(sdImageMainDirectory);
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (resultCode) {
case 0:
finish();
break;
case -1:
try {
StoreImage(this, Uri.parse(data.toURI()),
sdImageMainDirectory);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finish();
startActivity(new Intent(CameraCapture.this, Home.class));
}
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (savedInstanceState.getBoolean(CameraCapture.PHOTO_TAKEN)) {
_taken = true;
}
}
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
outState.putBoolean(CameraCapture.PHOTO_TAKEN, _taken);
}
public static void StoreImage(Context mContext, Uri imageLoc, File imageDir) {
Bitmap bm = null;
try {
bm = Media.getBitmap(mContext.getContentResolver(), imageLoc);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(imageDir);
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
bm.recycle();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
