Question

Based on this article, I’m trying do capture the photo from camera on Android Emulator. I followed the instructions as per they said. But I didn’t get the positive result.

I’m getting the Player is null, while I’m running the WebcamBroadcaster.java(Java Application).

Is anyone achieve this before? If yes, Just let me how to do.

Or

Is there any other option to capture the photo from camera on Android Emulator?

Answer 1

In Android emulator 2.1 my code is working to capture image but not working in others version of android

To start camera for capture you can start camera for capture using below intent filter

Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(i, CAMERA_RESULT);

After capturing you will get the image as bitmap so you need to get activity result

if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == CAMERA_RESULT) {
    Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
    if(extras.containsKey("data")) {
        Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
        byte[] image = baos.toByteArray();
        if(image != null) {
            //User this byte array in your application
        }
    }else {
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Fail to capture Image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

Edit:

Now almost in all the emulators this code is working.
