If I'm reading your sample right, would data.getData() even return
anything at all for the Hero when requesting the disk image? Because
if you're putting "EXTRA_OUTPUT" in the intent, I thought it wouldn't
return the memory bitmap *at all* ? Looks like you're trying this:
// Camera intent using "EXTRA_OUTPUT"
// onActivityResults
Bitmap bmp;
try {
// Here won't save larger bmp to disk due to bug or wrong
implementation, but you think it will return mem bmp instead.
bmp = data.getData();
}
catch (NullPointerException ex) {
// The other phones will return NULL for data.getData(), so here we
should get the image from disk saved correctly.
bmp = loadFromSpecifiedPath(...);
}
is that what you did? I just tried out a few phones to see what size
bmps they return for the mem vs disk bitmaps. I found the Eris also
*does NOT* save the disk image properly, like the Hero:
Droid
mem: 121 x 162
disk: 2592 x 1936
Eris:
mem: 208 x 312
disk: did not work!
Hero:
All phones I've tried crash with both methods, also the native camera
app crashes.
Samsung Moment:
256 x 192
512 x 384
myTouch:
256 x 192
384 x 512
G1
192 x 256
384 x 512
if anyone else can share their stats that'd be really helpful,
Thanks
