Android Camera and Gallery Taking full-sized photo from camera
Example
To take a photo, first we need to declare required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml. We need two permissions:
Camera- to open camera app. If attributerequiredis set totrueyou will not be able to install this app if you don't have hardware camera.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE- This permission is required to create new file, in which captured photo will be saved.
AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
The main idea in taking full-sized photo from camera is that we need to create new file for photo, before we open camera app and capture photo.
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e("DEBUG_TAG", "createFile", ex);
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getAlbumDir();
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
storageDir /* directory */
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
private File getAlbumDir() {
File storageDir = null;
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageState())) {
storageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/dcim/"
+ "MyRecipes");
if (!storageDir.mkdirs()) {
if (!storageDir.exists()) {
Log.d("CameraSample", "failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
} else {
Log.v(getString(R.string.app_name), "External storage is not mounted READ/WRITE.");
}
return storageDir;
}
