I m developing a simple app which is regarding camera but the problem is when i capture snap
sometimes it works.but sometimes just black screen comes.
so rather now i have decided to use android inbuilt camera intent to use in my app.rather than coding the camera functionality.but since i m new to android i dont know exactly how to do it.
can somebody please give me a source code.
so that i can snap a picture and save it on sd card.
thnx in advance.

Intent intent2= new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");

one of my friend suggested me to use above code to call inbuilt cam.
but don't know exactly how to do it.
i written that code in my app.
but it just displays the camera preview window.
but how should i tell it when button is clicked save the image to desired location.
someone please help me.

So basically it's

Intent i = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
this.startActivityForResult(i,REQUEST_CAMERA) ;

and an onResult method. Please note that you probably only get a small sized picture with this code. If you want to have the full sized picture you need to put an intent extra to your intent in order to save the big picture to your SD card. Search Google for how to do this.

}


@Override

{
if(requestCode==1)
{
Bitmap x = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
values.put(Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, "test");
values.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "test Image taken");
values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
OutputStream outstream;
try
{
outstream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
x.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,70,outstream);
outstream.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{

}
catch (IOException e)
{

}
String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
final Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri,
proj,
null,
null,
null);
int column_index= cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
FilePath=cursor.getString(column_index);
Main.flag=2;
Intent in= new Intent(Cam.this,Gal.class);
startActivity(in);
}
}
}

I have got the above solution and its working fine and easily and correctly saving images to gallery.
but i just only want that after i click the camera capture button i want that image should directly get saved.
without clicking the done button.
i dont want the done button that comes after i click the capture button og camera.
Plz somebody gv me a solution.
thnx in advance.

You can't do that without building your own camera activity.
