I am creating an app where i can use the camera inside it without going to the default app of the phone.So i have used a surface view and tried to save it onto the phone, but the onPictureTaken
never gets called.The complete code is shown below:
package com.example.surfaceviewcamera;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
SurfaceHolder mSurfaceHolder;
Camera mCamera;
boolean mPreviewRunning;
Button btncapture;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btncapture=(Button) findViewById(R.id.btncapture);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_camera);
mSurfaceHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mSurfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
mSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
btncapture.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] imageData, Camera c) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageData , 0, imageData .length);
String file_path=saveToInternalSorage(bitmap);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Image stored succesfully at "+file_path,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
};
}
});
}
private String saveToInternalSorage(Bitmap bitmapImage){
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
// path to /data/data/yourapp/app_data/imageDir
File directory = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
// Create imageDir
File mypath=new File(directory,"marina1.jpg");
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(mypath);
// Use the compress method on the BitMap object to write image to the OutputStream
bitmapImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return directory.getAbsolutePath();
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mCamera=Camera.open();
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w,
int h) {
if (mPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();
p.setPreviewSize(w, h);
mCamera.setParameters(p);
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mCamera.startPreview();
mPreviewRunning = true;
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
mPreviewRunning = false;
mCamera.release();
}
}
My XML file:

</SurfaceView>
<Button
