Capture Image from Camera and Display in Activity

Question

I want to write a module where on a click of a button the camera opens and I can click and capture an image. If I don't like the image I can delete it and click one more image and then select the image and it should return back and display that image in the activity.

Answer 1

Capture photo + Choose from Gallery:

        a = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);

        a.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override

            public void onClick(View v) {

                selectImage();

            }

        });
    }
    private File savebitmap(Bitmap bmp) {
      String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
      OutputStream outStream = null;
     // String temp = null;
        File file = new File(extStorageDirectory, "temp.png");
      if (file.exists()) {
       file.delete();
       file = new File(extStorageDirectory, "temp.png");

      }

      try {
       outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
       bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
       outStream.flush();
       outStream.close();

      } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       return null;
      }
      return file;
     }
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
     private void selectImage() {



            final CharSequence[] options = { "Take Photo", "Choose from Gallery","Cancel" };



            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);

            builder.setTitle("Add Photo!");

            builder.setItems(options, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                @Override

                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {

                    if (options[item].equals("Take Photo"))

                    {

                        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

                        File f = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "temp.jpg");

                        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
                        //pic = f;

                        startActivityForResult(intent, 1);


                    }

                    else if (options[item].equals("Choose from Gallery"))

                    {

                        Intent intent = new   Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

                        startActivityForResult(intent, 2);



                    }

                    else if (options[item].equals("Cancel")) {

                        dialog.dismiss();

                    }

                }

            });

            builder.show();

        }



        @Override

                           //pic = photo;
                            break;

                        }

                    }

                    try {

                        Bitmap bitmap;

                        BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();



                        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),

                                bitmapOptions); 



                        a.setImageBitmap(bitmap);




                        String path = android.os.Environment

                                .getExternalStorageDirectory()

                                + File.separator

                        //p = path;

                        f.delete();

                        OutputStream outFile = null;

                        File file = new File(path, String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");

                        try {

                            outFile = new FileOutputStream(file);

                    Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePath, null, null, null);

                    c.moveToFirst();

                    String picturePath = c.getString(columnIndex);

                    c.close();

                    Bitmap thumbnail = (BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));


                    Log.w("path of image from gallery......******************.........", picturePath+"");


                    a.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);

                }

            }

Answer 2

You can use custom camera with thumbnail image. You can look my project.

Answer 3

I know it's a quite old thread, but all these solutions are not completed and don't work on some devices when user rotates camera because data in onActivityResult is null. So here is solution which I have tested on lots of devices and haven't faced any problem so far.

First declare your Uri variable in your activity:

private Uri uriFilePath;

Then create your temporary folder for storing captured image and make intent for capturing image by camera:

PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
if (packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
    File mainDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyFolder/tmp");
         if (!mainDirectory.exists())
             mainDirectory.mkdirs();

          Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

          uriFilePath = Uri.fromFile(new File(mainDirectory, "IMG_" + calendar.getTimeInMillis()));
          intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
          intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriFilePath);
          startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}

And now here comes one of the most important things, you have to save your uriFilePath in onSaveInstanceState, because if you didn't do that and user rotated his device while using camera, your uri would be null.

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
     if (uriFilePath != null)
         outState.putString("uri_file_path", uriFilePath.toString());
     super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

After that you should always recover your uri in your onCreate method:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
         if (uriFilePath == null && savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path") != null) {
             uriFilePath = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString("uri_file_path"));
         }
    } 
}

And here comes last part to get your Uri in onActivityResult:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {    
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
         if (requestCode == 1) {
            String filePath = uriFilePath.getPath(); // Here is path of your captured image, so you can create bitmap from it, etc.
         }
    }
 }

P.S. Don't forget to add permissions for Camera and Ext. storage writing to your Manifest.

Answer 4

Here is code I have used for Capturing and Saving Camera Image then display it to imageview. You can use according to your need.

You have to save Camera image to specific location then fetch from that location then convert it to byte-array.

Here is method for opening capturing camera image activity.

private static final int CAMERA_PHOTO = 111;
private Uri imageToUploadUri;

private void captureCameraImage() {
        Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "POST_IMAGE.jpg");
        chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
        imageToUploadUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
        startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, CAMERA_PHOTO);
    }

then your onActivityResult() method should be like this.

@Override
        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

            if (requestCode == CAMERA_PHOTO && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                if(imageToUploadUri != null){
                    Uri selectedImage = imageToUploadUri;
                    getContentResolver().notifyChange(selectedImage, null);
                    Bitmap reducedSizeBitmap = getBitmap(imageToUploadUri.getPath());
                    if(reducedSizeBitmap != null){
                        ImgPhoto.setImageBitmap(reducedSizeBitmap);
                        Button uploadImageButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.uploadUserImageButton);
                          uploadImageButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);                
                    }else{
                        Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                }else{
                    Toast.makeText(this,"Error while capturing Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            } 
        }

Here is getBitmap() method used in onActivityResult(). I have done all performance improvement that can be possible while getting camera capture image bitmap.

private Bitmap getBitmap(String path) {

        Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(path));
        InputStream in = null;
        try {
            final int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1200000; // 1.2MP
            in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

            // Decode image size
            BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
            BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
            in.close();


            int scale = 1;
            while ((o.outWidth * o.outHeight) * (1 / Math.pow(scale, 2)) >
                    IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
                scale++;
            }
            Log.d("", "scale = " + scale + ", orig-width: " + o.outWidth + ", orig-height: " + o.outHeight);

            Bitmap b = null;
            in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
            if (scale > 1) {
                scale--;
                // scale to max possible inSampleSize that still yields an image
                // larger than target
                o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
                o.inSampleSize = scale;
                b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);

                // resize to desired dimensions
                int height = b.getHeight();
                int width = b.getWidth();
                Log.d("", "1th scale operation dimenions - width: " + width + ", height: " + height);

                double y = Math.sqrt(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE
                        / (((double) width) / height));
                double x = (y / height) * width;

                Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, (int) x,
                        (int) y, true);
                b.recycle();
                b = scaledBitmap;

                System.gc();
            } else {
                b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
            }
            in.close();

            Log.d("", "bitmap size - width: " + b.getWidth() + ", height: " +
                    b.getHeight());
            return b;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("", e.getMessage(), e);
            return null;
        }
    }

Hope it helps!

Answer 5

It took me some hours to get this working. The code it's almost a copy-paste from developer.android.com, with a minor difference.

Request this permission on the AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

On your Activity, start by defining this:

static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
private Bitmap mImageBitmap;
private String mCurrentPhotoPath;
private ImageView mImageView;

Then fire this Intent in an onClick:

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (cameraIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    // Create the File where the photo should go
    File photoFile = null;
    try {
        photoFile = createImageFile();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        // Error occurred while creating the File
        Log.i(TAG, "IOException");
    }
    // Continue only if the File was successfully created
    if (photoFile != null) {
        cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
        startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    }
}

Add the following support method:

private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
    // Create an image file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
    String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
    File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
            Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    File image = File.createTempFile(
            imageFileName,  // prefix
            ".jpg",         // suffix
            storageDir      // directory
    );

    // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
    mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
    return image;
}

Then receive the result:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        try {
            mImageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath));
            mImageView.setImageBitmap(mImageBitmap);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

What made it work is the MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.parse(mCurrentPhotoPath)), which is different from the code from developer.android.com. The original code gave me a FileNotFoundException.

In Activity:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                 image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageButton);
        image.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override

                currentDateandTime = sdfPic.format(new Date()).replace(" ", "");
                File imagesFolder = new File(IMAGE_PATH, currentDateandTime);
                imagesFolder.mkdirs();
                Random generator = new Random();

                }

            }
        });
           @Override

        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        switch(requestCode) {
        case CAMERA_DATA :

                    BitmapFactory.Options opts;
                    int resizeScale;
                    Bitmap bmp;
                    file = new File(outputFileUri.getPath());
                    // This bit determines only the width/height of the
                    // bitmap
                    // without loading the contents
                    opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
                    opts.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
                    fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, opts);
                    fis.close();

                    // Find the correct scale value. It should be a power of
                    // 2
                    resizeScale = 1;

                    if (opts.outHeight > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE
                            || opts.outWidth > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
                        resizeScale = (int) Math.pow(2, (int) Math.round(Math.log(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE/ (double) Math.max(opts.outHeight, opts.outWidth)) / Math.log(0.5)));
                    }
