In my android application I have to take images using the camera when a button is clicked. It is working perfectly in all Android versions except Android 7 (Nougat). When I choose the camera option, the app is exiting even if the permissions are granted. I think the problem is in the camera-calling Intent. Below is my code.
camera = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.camera);
camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
clickCamera();
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
private void clickCamera() { // 1 for icon and 2 for attachment
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] { Manifest.permission.CAMERA }, MY_REQUEST_CODE);
} else {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] { Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE }, MY_REQUEST_CODE_STORAGE);
} else {
currentImageUri = getImageFileUri();
Intent intentPicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intentPicture.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, currentImageUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intentPicture, REQUEST_CAMERA); // 1 for REQUEST_CAMERA (icon) and 2 for REQUEST_CAMERA_ATT (attachment)
}
}
}
private static Uri getImageFileUri(){
// Create a storage directory for the images
// To be safe(r), you should check that the SD card is mounted
// using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this
imagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "MyProject");
if (!imagePath.exists()) {
if (!imagePath.mkdirs()) {
return null;
} else {
// create new folder
}
}
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
File image = new File(imagePath, "MyProject_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
if (!image.exists()) {
try {
image.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Create an File Uri
return Uri.fromFile(image);
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_REQUEST_CODE: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
// contacts-related task you need to do.
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] { Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE }, MY_REQUEST_CODE_STORAGE);
} else {
currentImageUri = getImageFileUri();
Intent intentPicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intentPicture.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, currentImageUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intentPicture, REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
Toast.makeText(this, "Doesn't have permission... ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return;
}
case MY_REQUEST_CODE_STORAGE: {
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
currentImageUri = getImageFileUri();
Intent intentPicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intentPicture.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, currentImageUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intentPicture, REQUEST_CAMERA);
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
Toast.makeText(this, "Doesn't have permission...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return;
}
}
}
What is the problem here for Nougat? Is it because of the Uri
returned by getImageFileUri()
?
