MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE not recognized

Question

I am having problems with the resource for Android developers for the camera, here is my code:

// create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); // create a file to save the image intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the image file name // start the image capture Intent startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE); 

The problem is "MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE", which says that it cannot be resolved by a variable. I have a mediastar, camera, and URIs imported into my project. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try importing android.provider.MediaStore.Files.FileColumns and change MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE to FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE .

If you are using the sample code from the Android developers blog, be sure to check the section for saving media files , there you have the constants created to handle this.

You may not have provided good permissions in your manifest (e.g. camera access, external storage access, etc.).
