I'm trying to make a android app that will take a picture from the camera and display it on the same screen next to the "take picture button". I've been trying to use a tutorial but it is not working. whenever I take the picture and press save, the picture app fails. Also I don't know if it would display the photo on screen if I saved it. However, I am not sure of this since it always breaks after I press save. Does anybody have any suggestions to help me save and display the photo on screen? Thanks
Here's my xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.pictureproject.MainActivity"
android:orientation ="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_camera"
android:text="@string/button_camera"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ImageView
android:id = "@+id/image_camera"
android:contentDescription="@string/image_cd_camera"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
and Heres my java:

}
@Override

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, selectedImage.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e(logtag,e.toString());
}
}
}
@Override

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
