I managed to register my app as camera app via

<activity android:name=".CameraActivity" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Now, I would like to know whether my app was startet as intent or directly by the user, so I can react accordingly:

  • returning an image via setResult (in case of returning to the previous app)
  • saving the image to disk (in those cases where no previous app is involved)

Anyone knows how to get this information?

    Analyse the value of intent.getAction() to determine whether the activity was launched by the home/launcher, or by another application using the “IMAGE_CAPTURE” action.
