Controlling the camera to take pictures in portrait doesn't rotate the final images

Question

I'm trying to controlling the Android camera to take pictures in a portrait app, but when I save the picture, it's in landscape. I've rotated the image 90 grades with `setCameraDisplayOrientation()` method, but doesn't work. Then I've found this post but the `TAG_ORIENTATION` is `0` (undefined). If I catch this value and apply a rotation value, doesn't work either. How I can take a photo in portrait and save it with a good orientation? ``` /** Initializes the back/front camera */ private boolean initPhotoCamera() { try { camera = getCameraInstance(selected_camera); Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters(); // parameters.setPreviewSize(width_video, height_video); // parameters.set("orientation", "portrait"); // parameters.set("rotation", 1); // camera.setParameters(parameters); checkCameraFlash(parameters); // camera.setDisplayOrientation( 0); setCameraDisplayOrientation(selected_camera, camera); surface_view.getHolder().setFixedSize(width_video, height_video); LinearLayou…

The problem is when I saved the image I didn't do well.

```
@Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {

String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format( new Date( ));
    output_file_name = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM) + File.separator + timeStamp + ".jpeg";

File pictureFile = new File(output_file_name);
    if (pictureFile.exists()) {
        pictureFile.delete();
    }

try {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);

Bitmap realImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);

ExifInterface exif=new ExifInterface(pictureFile.toString());

Log.d("EXIF value", exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION));
        if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("6")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 90);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("8")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 270);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("3")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 180);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("0")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 90);
        }

boolean bo = realImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);

fos.close();

((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview)).setImageBitmap(realImage);

Log.d("Info", bo + "");

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.d("Info", "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("TAG", "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap bitmap, int degree) {
    int w = bitmap.getWidth();
    int h = bitmap.getHeight();

Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
   //       mtx.postRotate(degree);
    mtx.setRotate(degree);

return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, true);
}
```
