TAKING SMALL PICTURE IMAGE I am trying to use the camera intent ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE to retrieve a small bitmap image that I can set to an imageview background on the current running activity screen
Objective of code: User will be able to take a picture of an image which will then be displayed on the current activity screen in an "ImageView" box Utilizing: ImageView Class, MediaStore Class, an intent to capture image, Bitmap Factory class to convert file string to bitmap Pseudo: 1. Start Camera on top of current activity calling intent w/ ACTION_IMAGE CAPTURE 2. Take Picture and place image to file 3. Take file and store to bitmap (I have no clue what I'm doing there) 4. Set it to the background of the ImageView to the captured image ISSUE: Biitmap bm IS NULL AFTER IMAGE IS ASSIGNED The picture has been saved to the phone, and that part is correct I need someone to show me how I can set the background of imageNew to the stored image <code> ImageView imageNew = (ImageView) findViewById (R.id.ProductImageView); Intent imageCaptureIntent = new Intent (MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); // 1. startActivityForResult(imageCaptureIntent, 1); // 2. imageCaptureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new File ("NewImage"))); // 3. Bitmap bm = null; bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("New_Image"); // 4. imageNew.setImageBitmap(bm); <code> PS. I hope this code is helpful to others looking to do similar tasks with small returned images --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
