Question

Using the google developer tutorials and following them exactly and my app will just restart or completely shut down and not get the picture from the camera. I had the exact same code working about 30 minutes ago but now it wont work. All I did was try and implement a button. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HEre is my code. Its short and simple so hopefully someone can give some advice on where to go from here.

package com.example.camera;

import android.app.Activity;
 import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.net.Uri;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.provider.MediaStore;
 import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ImageView iv;
Bitmap bitmap;
private static final int actionCode = 100;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;

@Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
iv=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
dispatchTakePictureIntent(actionCode);
}



protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
 handleSmallCameraPhoto(data);
 }

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent(int actionCode) {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, actionCode);
    }

private void handleSmallCameraPhoto(Intent intent) {
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    bitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
   iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
     }

Some times it does get messy to ask the android system to take images for you. I have a Camera Library Project you can use the library to take the picture sample is also provided. or you can go through the code to understand it
