Okay I have modified my code a bit.

I have this in my main layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/layout">
    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Camera Demo"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

    <FrameLayout android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/preview"
        android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </FrameLayout>

    <ImageView android:src="@drawable/litbulb"
                   android:layout_width="match_parent"
                   android:layout_height="112dip" />

    </FrameLayout>

    <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/buttonClick"
        android:text="Snap!" android:layout_gravity="center"></Button>

</LinearLayout>

When I click the “Snap!” or buttonClick button, it’s supposed to capture and save the image, but it’s not. Can anyone help me modify this code so it does?

Also, it crashes every time I leave the app. Here is the relevant logcat data:
