[android-developers] Re: How can I launch the built-in picture viewer app from my app?

2009-02-25 Thread Freddy 

Hello,

Thanks for the info.  I tried your suggestion, and it does 'appear' to
work stepping through the code in the debugger but afterwards this
causes com.android.camera to crash with a null pointer exception.
Have you seen this?  I started a new thread on this but should have
kept it in this thread, sorry ... more details here
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/19c1b6b743e15782/1ba60b4bd691c225

This is the code I'm using.  Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks.

   Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(/sdcard/test.jpg);
   String test = Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), bm,
title, desciption);

 Hi,

 I have successfully used
 android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage() to insert
 images, which then turn up in the picture viewer after a few seconds,
 see -

 Maybe also have a look at -

  Thanks.

If you want to just pick a photo using the built in photo viewer, send
the following intent:

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType(image/*);
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);

and then in your Activities result handler do the following:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);

if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
Uri photoUri = intent.getData();

if (photoUri != null)
{
// do something with the content Uri
}
}
}

Thanks but I'm trying to insert a photo into the android photo gallery
viewer so the photo is immediately viewable.  Basically I need the
gallery to rebake and display new content.  Your sample appears to
handle the other direction (accepting a photo from the viewer) which
is not what I need.

Hi,

I have successfully used
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage() to insert
images, which then turn up in the picture viewer after a few seconds,
see -
