Thank you. I appreciate your help. I tried your suggestions. But I
still cant' get it to work.
I am trying to launch ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activity using the
MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT parameter to specify the URL of the captured
image.
Here is my code, but my activity's protected void onActivityResult()
never get called.
Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, null);
File f = getFileStreamPath("temp-picture");
(new File(f.getParent())).mkdirs();
String mTempFilePath = f.getAbsolutePath();
f.delete();
FileOutputStream fos =null;
try {
fos = openFileOutput ("temp-picture", MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
} finally {
if (fos != null) {
try {
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.parse("file:/" + mTempFilePath));
i.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG.name());
System.out.println ("************ catpure
picture 4");
// i.putExtra("crop", "circle");
//i.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(i, PICK_ICON_FROM_CAMERA_ID);
