Android Introduction Camera

Goal Create an application that launches the built-in Camera and use the results for displaying the captured image.

Layout Make a LinearLayout with a TextView, a Button, and an ImageView Create a handler for the OnClick event of the Button

Launch Camera Creating an Intent, as follows, within your button click handler: Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); Launch camera activity with asking result: startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);   define within your application as the request code returned by the Camera image capture Intent private static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1; 

Handling result from Camera By adding onActivityResult() in your Activity: protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {       if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) { // display image            Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); ImageView imageTakePic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewPhone); imageTakePic.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);     }   }
