Question

I’m having some issues while capturing photos.

Until now, I could take pictures from camera, from emulator and from a real device, without problems. But those pictures, were saved on a default route.

I wanted to edit that route, so I could set my own.

I did it this way:

File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/ImagesFolder/");
            folder.mkdirs();

            Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            Uri uriSavedImage=Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/ImagesFolder/imatge.jpg"));
            cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);

            startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1888);

This is working on a real device, a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. It creates the folder, and saves the image there.

But the issue is on emulator. I’m afraid this will happen on other devices.

This is the logcat:

The crash:

Comes from here:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if( requestCode == 1888 && resultCode == -1) { //-1 = TOT HA ANAT BE.
        Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        Log.d("debugging",""+photo.getHeight());
        Log.d("debugging",""+photo.getWidth());
        ((ImageView) myFragmentView.findViewById(R.id.fotoCapturada)).setImageBitmap(photo);
    }
}

Exactly:

Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

After some research, I found out nothing clear…

Can you help me on this issue?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Since your data extras method isn’t working, you could try storing a field of the file or the path when the Intent is launched.

File resultingFile;//This will be in your class definition

File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/ImagesFolder/");
folder.mkdirs();

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
resultingFile = new File(folder.toString() + "/image.jpg");
Uri uriSavedImage=Uri.fromFile(resultingFile);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);

startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1888);

So when you enter onActivityResult you can test the resultCode against RESULT_OK and RESULT_CANCELED. When I use onActivityResult, I do it like this:

if(requestCode == 1888){
  if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){ //Called when the user saves the image
     if(resultingFile.exists(){
       Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(resultingFile.getPath()); 
       ((ImageView) myFragmentView.findViewById(R.id.fotoCapturada)).setImageBitmap(photo);
     }
  }else if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED){ //Called when the user presses back or cancels the saving of the image

  }
}
