I have one problem. When I try to get picture from camera, the quality is very low.
At first, capture the picture using camera, than save to the directory and at the same time get that picture and show in my app.The picture saved inside directory is a fine quality but when I get it from directory, the quality is low. below is my sample code :
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) intent.getExtras().get("data");
if (g==1)
{
ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img5);
myImage.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
View a = findViewById(R.id.img5);
a.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
thumbnail.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byteArray1 = stream.toByteArray();
}
}
any solution/suggestion?
Thanks :)
Solved
The problem solved when I follow the code given by Antrromet below
I have used the following code and this works perfectly fine for me.
values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "New Picture");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "From your Camera");
imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICTURE_RESULT);
and also
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PICTURE_RESULT:
if (requestCode == PICTURE_RESULT)
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
try {
thumbnail = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(
getContentResolver(), imageUri);
imgView.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
imageurl = getRealPathFromURI(imageUri);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
and
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
I will give you something that work for me. I asked the same !
Solution to save a picture in a specific folder without lost quality
I FOUND THE SOLUTION:
//Create a new folder code:
String path = String.valueOf(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()) + "/your_name_folder";
try {
File ruta_sd = new File(path);
File folder = new File(ruta_sd.getAbsolutePath(), nameFol);
boolean success = true;
if (!folder.exists()) {
success = folder.mkdir();
}
if (success) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Carpeta Creada...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("Carpetas", "Error al crear Carpeta a tarjeta SD");
}
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();//agregue este
