Taking a high quality image through default camera activity and saving it o the sd card

Question

I am taking a high resolution picture through the default camera activity(using `intent.put Extras`),and saving it to the sd card, Code: ``` public class CameraActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ Button takepicture ; ImageView iv ; TextView tv; Button show; String filepath; Intent i; Uri mUri; final static int cameraData = 0; File folder = null; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); takepicture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1); tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); show = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2); takepicture.setOnClickListener(this); show.setOnClickListener(this); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub switch(v.getId()){ case R.id.button1: String sdcardstate = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState(); if(sdcardst…

Accepted Answer

Use following to achieve this.

Before you call CameraIntent create a file and uri based on that filepath as shown here.

```
filename = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/test/testfile.jpg";
imageUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(filename));

// start default camera
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                imageUri);
startActivityForResult (cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
```

Now, you have the filepath you can use it in onAcityvityResult method as following,

```
 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if(requestCode != CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST || filename == null)
        return;
    ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    img.setImageURI(imageUri);
}
```
