I have complete working code to take a picture, crop it, send email with image attachment.
Here is the flow of the code: Take a picture > Find and select the picture we just took from Gallery > Crop it > Email attachment.
I would like to find out how I can skip the whole "Find and select the picture we just took from Gallery" part out and just go straight into cropping immediately after taking the picture.
Is there an Intent that can do what I am requesting?
I've tried this tutorial but it still makes the user go into gallery and look for the picture they just took http://www.londatiga.net/featured-articles/how-to-select-and-crop-image-on-android/
EDIT I should also mention that I have a custom view when I am taking pictures so Im not sure if I can use Intent MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
Here is the code that executes the cropping AND also makes you choose the image you just took by looking in the gallery.
Intent crop_pic = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, uriTarget); // used to be ACTION_GET_CONTENT /ACTION_PICK
crop_pic.putExtra("crop", "true"); // this enables crop feature
//crop_pic.putExtra("aspectX", 200); // this defines the aspect ration
//crop_pic.putExtra("aspectY", 150);
//crop_pic.putExtra("outputX", 500); // this defines the output bitmap size
//crop_pic.putExtra("outputY", 500);
//crop_pic.putExtra("scale", true);
try { crop_pic.putExtra("return-data", false); // true to return a Bitmap, false to directly save the cropped iamge
crop_pic.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriTarget); // save output image in uri
//crop_pic.setDataAndType(uriTarget, "image/*"); // this will open all images in the Galery
startActivityForResult(crop_pic, EMAIL_PIC);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fadein, R.anim.fadeout);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
toast.showToastDialog(getApplicationContext(), e.toString());
}
LOGCAT.DEBUG(TAG, "Cropping Picture");
}
Is there an Intent im not aware of that can just start cropping if I supply it with a uri Target?
