in my app you can click on a image view which gives you the option to chose an image from the sd card or take a new picture with the camera. I already implemented the option to chose an image from the sd card. Now I am left with the camera option.
My question: How can I get the image path of any new image taken with the camera?
Below you find the code I use to open up the the Dialog window and the way I get the path of images from the sd card.
1.This is the code for the dialog:
private void showImageDialog() {
final String [] items = new String [] {"From Camera", "From SD Card"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item,items);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Select Image");
builder.setAdapter( adapter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick( DialogInterface dialog, int item ) {
if (item == 0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"tmp_avatar_" + String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");
mImageCaptureUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
try {
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageCaptureUri);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FROM_CAMERA);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
dialog.cancel();
} else {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete action using"), PICK_FROM_FILE);
}
}
} );
final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
2.And this is what is use to get the image path from the sd card image.
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == PICK_FROM_FILE || requestCode == PICK_FROM_CAMERA) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
Log.v("IMAGE PATH====>>>> ",selectedImagePath);
// Decode, scale and set the image.
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImagePath);
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(myBitmap, NEW_WIDTH, NEW_HEIGHT, true);
myBitmap.recycle();
myBitmap = null;
mImageView.setImageBitmap(scaledBitmap);
mImageView.setTag(selectedImagePath);
}
}
}
