Android Camera and Gallery How to start camera or gallery and save camera result to storage
Example
First of all you need Uri and temp Folders and request codes :
public final int REQUEST_SELECT_PICTURE = 0x01;
public final int REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_PICTURE = 0x2;
public static String TEMP_PHOTO_FILE_NAME ="photo_";
Uri mImageCaptureUri;
File mFileTemp;
Then init mFileTemp :
public void initTempFile(){
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
mFileTemp = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator
+ getResources().getString(R.string.app_foldername) + File.separator
+ getResources().getString(R.string.pictures_folder)
, TEMP_PHOTO_FILE_NAME
+ System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
mFileTemp.getParentFile().mkdirs();
} else {
mFileTemp = new File(getFilesDir() + File.separator
+ getResources().getString(R.string.app_foldername)
+ File.separator + getResources().getString(R.string.pictures_folder)
, TEMP_PHOTO_FILE_NAME + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
mFileTemp.getParentFile().mkdirs();
}
}
Opening Camera and Gallery intents :
public void openCamera(){
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
try {
mImageCaptureUri = null;
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
mImageCaptureUri = Uri.fromFile(mFileTemp);
} else {
mImageCaptureUri = InternalStorageContentProvider.CONTENT_URI;
}
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageCaptureUri);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_PICTURE);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("error", "cannot take picture", e);
}
}
public void openGallery(){
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN
&& ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
getString(R.string.permission_read_storage_rationale),
REQUEST_STORAGE_READ_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
} else {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.select_image)), REQUEST_SELECT_PICTURE);
}
}
Then in onActivityResult method :
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
return;
}
Bitmap bitmap;
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_SELECT_PICTURE:
try {
Uri uri = data.getData();
try {
bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
Bitmap bitmapScaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 800, 800, true);
Drawable drawable=new BitmapDrawable(bitmapScaled);
mImage.setImageDrawable(drawable);
mImage.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.v("act result", "there is an error : "+e.getContent());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.v("act result", "there is an error : "+e.getContent());
}
break;
case REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_PICTURE:
try{
Bitmap bitmappicture = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver() , mImageCaptureUri);
mImage.setImageBitmap(bitmappicture);
mImage.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}catch (IOException e){
Log.v("error camera",e.getMessage());
}
break;
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
You need theese permissions in AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
And you need to handle runtime permissions such as Read/Write external storage etc ...
I am checking READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in my openGallery method :
My requestPermission method :
protected void requestPermission(final String permission, String rationale, final int requestCode) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, permission)) {
showAlertDialog(getString(R.string.permission_title_rationale), rationale,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(BasePermissionActivity.this,
new String[]{permission}, requestCode);
}
}, getString(android.R.string.ok), null, getString(android.R.string.cancel));
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{permission}, requestCode);
}
}
Then Override onRequestPermissionsResult method :
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_STORAGE_READ_ACCESS_PERMISSION:
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
handleGallery();
}
break;
default:
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
showAlertDialog method :
protected void showAlertDialog(@Nullable String title, @Nullable String message,
@Nullable DialogInterface.OnClickListener onPositiveButtonClickListener,
@NonNull String positiveText,
@Nullable DialogInterface.OnClickListener onNegativeButtonClickListener,
@NonNull String negativeText) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setMessage(message);
builder.setPositiveButton(positiveText, onPositiveButtonClickListener);
builder.setNegativeButton(negativeText, onNegativeButtonClickListener);
mAlertDialog = builder.show();
}
