  • Its not a general solution but you can do this by read all the files _(by default these are in ascending order but you can sort the list of files according to date)_ the camera **DCIM/Camera** check this [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8646984/how-to-list-files-in-an-android-directory] and show the latest one in the camera activity as icon (**ImageView**) or anything you want. – A.

The on the stock camera intent cant really be changed, but if you create a custom camera intent, you can add the buttons that you need and link it to another activity that will open a gallery.

There is a very detailed explanation on how to set it up in the android documentation

    I was looking for a simpler way than creating a custom camera view, but I guess this is the only way to go... Thanks for your answer. – Asym Nov 03 '18 at 17:00

use this piece of code. 

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);

working fine for me and Gallery icon is also showing.
