Android camera resulted image should be rotated after the capture?

Question

I'm writing an Android application that uses the camera. I'm setting camera display orientation to 90, my activity is in a portrait orientation:

camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);

I'm getting a well oriented preview picture, but the resulting image is rotated to -90 degrees (counter clockwise) and

exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION)

returns ORIENTATION_NORMAL
Is it expected behavior? Should I rotate resulted image after the capture?

Try this

try {
        File f = new File(imagePath);
        ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(f.getPath());
        int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
                ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
                ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);

        int angle = 0;

        if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90) {
            angle = 90;
        } else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180) {
            angle = 180;
        } else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270) {
            angle = 270;
        }

        Matrix mat = new Matrix();
        mat.postRotate(angle);
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inSampleSize = 2;

        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),
                null, options);
        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, bmp.getWidth(),
                bmp.getHeight(), mat, true);
        ByteArrayOutputStream outstudentstreamOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100,
                outstudentstreamOutputStream);
        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.w("TAG", "-- Error in setting image");
    } catch (OutOfMemoryError oom) {
        Log.w("TAG", "-- OOM Error in setting image");
    }

It will work
