Hello Katharnavas,

saving takes place here:

Simply alter the Parameter of super.openFileOutput(...);. If you want to write to the SD-Card, there is no need for using "openFileOutput", because you can use standard java methods, like new FileOutputStream(...)...

Hi, I have written "-sdcard <path of sdcard.img>" on command line as ever, then I altered super.OpenFileOutput by new FileOutputStream(...) in all possible variants (new FileOutputStream(String), new FileOputputStream(File), etc) but I still get FileNotFoundException, why?

Regards

I have solved my problem, it was cause of hidden directory without permission to write

That works fine


Thx

I can save these png files as said in this post
picture0.png
picture1.png
etc.

but how can I get back these pictures?

Hello drhu,

have a look at this tutorial: http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?t=115

Thank you plusminus. The question is that when I use your filebrowser
http://www.anddev.org/android_filebrows ... -t101.html
under the data, I find it is empty so I can't find the
/data/data/org.picture/files/picture0.png
That's why I am wounder where is the file stored.

Does your filebrowser can retrive all the directory and files under data? Why it is empty? When I use the eclipse DDMS shows all the files and directory.

Hello drhu00,

the reason for that is the rights, the application is running with.
You need administrator-priviledges to browse that folder, which a normal application has not.

A fine tutorial indeed.

I wonder about the quality hint in the Bitmap.compress(...)-function though. The javadoc says:

quality Hint to the compressor, 0-100. 0 meaning compress for small size, 100 meaning compress for max quality.

Now thats fine and logical for the JPEG-compressor, but for the PNG-compressor shouldn't it be 1-8 (BitsPerPixel for PNG-8) or 24 (for PNG-24)?

Issue 443 filed.

Hello Steel,

I don't know. Maybe they are wrapping the values internally , depending on what file-type was selected.

Hi,

I'm an absolute beginner with Android. I found this site and started practicing with the nice tutorials it provides. Then I found this one which has something to do with what I wanted to do with Android, so I think it would be a good start point to base my project on.

But I'm having problems getting it to work right from the beginning. I downloaded camera.zip, put into my Eclipse project folder and tried to run it. First of all I got a problem because the android.jar folder was configured in another path (probably for a Unix system). After fixing that, I get the following errors:

"the method setCallback(Preview) is undefined for the type SurfaceHolder" (file CameraPreview.java, line 136).

"the return type is incompatible with SurfaceHolder.Callback.surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder)" (file CameraPreview.java, line 164).

About the 1st error, as Eclipse gives me the option to change the method to "addCallback", I supposed the method just could had changed its name in a newer version of the API or whatsoever; I am using last version of the API and maybe this tutorial could have been done using an older version.

For the 2nd one, I have no clue. I simply tried changing the return type to "void" to try to run it... and then, after I try to run the project from the "Run" dialog, I get a "Project is not an Android Project. Aborting!" error in Eclipse.

I would be very happy if someone could enlight me with some help to get this running...

Thanks a lot!

Hi Pere (are you from Catalonia?;)), you should use CameraPreview of APIDemo, start the emulator and then click over ApiDemo and go to "graphic", and you'll find CameraPReview. I think it's still there.
I still work under m3rc22 cause of my Project.

So you have not to download cameraPreview.zip from this post.

Bye
Adios
