How to get Camera Intent to put a photo in internal memory?

Question

I have been all this day and cannot make it work. It is used to work before the previous person who worked on it worked.

    cameraIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
        String imageName = CustomApp.getTimeStamp(0) ;
        String path = CustomApp.getCurrentActivity().getDir("images", Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE).getPath()+File.separator+imageName;

        File file = new File(path) ;
        Uri img = Uri.fromFile(file) ;

        Intent passthruDataIntent = new Intent();

        cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, img);
        CustomApp.getCurrentActivity().startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CustomConstants.REQUESTCODE_CAMERA);

Similar code was posted here, but it doesn't seem to work on my kernel 4 in 4.2.2. I tried external storage, and then it works fine. Any insight into why this might not work would be very helpful. Thank.

Answer 1

Internal storage is private for each application - a third-party camera application does not have the right to write to the internal storage.

Answer 3

I had the same problem. I solved this by first saving the photos to external memory, and then copying them to internal memory. Hope this helps.
