Open native Camera app within another app?

Hello,

Is it possible to call "Camera" app from another application and retrieve a picture?

What I want to do is open android's native camera app within my app and retrieve a picture to further usage in my application, instead of creating my own camera application.

Any ways to do that?

Thanks.

There is a way actually to do it with intent and startActivityForResult:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  if(requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE) {
     if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELLED)
          // do smth
     if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
          // do smth
  }
}
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Is "resultCode == RESULT_OK" contains my captured image?
Can I directly save it?

And what is the intent to call the camera app to retrieve an image?

Thanks
