Question

I ran into an issue with something that I am probably just overlooking.

I want to take a picture from the surface preview of the camera, and save it to the sd_card. This works ALMOST perfect. I assigned it a file name, but it does not use the filename.

This is what I have been trying to do :

Button imagecapture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.imagecapture); imagecapture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {     public void onClick(View view) {         String filename = null;         ImageCaptureCallback iccb = null;          try {             filename = timeStampFormat.format(new Date());             ContentValues values = new ContentValues();             values.put(Media.TITLE, filename);             values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, 'Image capture by camera');              Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);             iccb = new ImageCaptureCallback(getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri));         } catch (Exception ex) {             ex.printStackTrace();             Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), ex.getMessage(), ex);         }         camera.takePicture(mShutterCallback, mPictureCallbackRaw, iccb);         com.froogloid.android.gspot.Park.imageFileName = filename;     } }); 

It won’t use the filename (i.e. time/date stamp I ask it to.)

Answer 1

This was resolved by implementing PictureCallback via a ImageCaptureCallback class, and Overriding the onPictureTaken where the file was being written via a file output stream. All you had to do was change the fileoutput stream to the filename you want.
