I'm very green in the programming department. I've tinkered at this for hours and haven't gotten anywhere. Having spent much of that time trying to find solutions on stackoverflow, I'm submitting a question for the first time.
Following, I've pasted in the contents of my MainActivity.java file. I belive everything is declared correctly in my manifest - including permissions to write to the SD card. The bulk the the code was taken from the android API documentation. There are no errors to be found anywhere before running the program. I'm testing the program on a Motorola Razr Droid.
A button (rawClick) is clicked, an instance of the camera is called, I approve a picture and the program crashes. If i browse to my pictures, the picture is saved (with the incorrect file name).
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong here?
Thanks. I greatly appreciate any help you can lend.
