Sorry, I had this problem mixed with a fix I was trying out for other
camera issue, and the description is not quite correct. But still a problem.
What happens is this:
The pic is displayed mirrored, horizontally, on the camera preview. That's
fine.
But when I "pick up" the bytes the camera activity stored in the path I
passed via:
cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
Uri.fromFile(new File("myimgpath.jng")));
and build a bitmap again with them, the bitmap is rotated 90°.
I don't see a way to hardcode a fix for this, since with the back camera it
doesn't happen, and I don't know if the returned bitmap was taken using
front or back camera... any idea?
