I am trying to create an application that takes an image from a camera and sends it back to the main action in order to display it in ImageVew. I saw a tutorial that saves an image on an SD card when shooting. I can save the file, but it's hard for me to get the location of the saved image.
I think that saving the image on the SD card is too much, since this image is not so important.
Is there a way to “save” the image that I just took with the camera in the BitMap element? if it is more efficient than storing it on an SD card?
Here is my MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Uri imgLocation;
ImageView mImageView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button capture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.am_btn_camera);
capture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
imgLocation = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "fname_" +
String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg"));
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imgLocation);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Log.e("URI",imgLocation.toString());
mImageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgLocation.toString()));
}
}}
