How to Get The name of Captured Image with Camera In Xamarin Android

Question

I want to get the name of the captured image with camera.When user click button camera is open fine but i want to get the name of currently captured Image.

This is the Button Click event when user press the button then camera is opened.

fab3.Click += (o, e) =>
            {
              Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ActionImageCapture);
              StartActivityForResult(intent, 0);
              CloseFabMenu();

            };

And here is i want to read the name of captured image.

 protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, [GeneratedEnum] Result resultCode, Intent data)
    {
      base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
      //if ((requestCode == PickImageId) && (resultCode == Result.Ok) && (data != null))
      //{

        switch (requestCode)
        {
          case 0:
            if (resultCode == Result.Ok)
            {
              Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)data.Extras.Get("data");


            }

            break;
}

On Debugging Mode i Get This output.

What issue did you occur?Did you not get the uri from `data.Data`? If so, I suggest you create a new file uri `takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,pictureUri);`before `StartActivityForResult` — Leon, Apr 22 '19 at 06:39
create a uri like this `Uri pictureUri = Uri.FromFile(new File(GetExternalFilesDir(Environment.DirectoryDcim), "test.jpg"));` — Leon, Apr 22 '19 at 09:55

Convert the Android.Net.Uri to actual path and get the image name from that path.

Then, you could get the actual path and file name in OnActivityResult :

protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent data)
{
    base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == 0)
    {
        var uri = data.Data;
        string path = GetActualPathFromFile(uri);
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Image path == " + path);
        string fileName = Path.GetFileName(path);
    }
}

Update:

You could refer to Aamirkhan's answer Getting path of captured image in Android using camera intent, it works fine on my side.

@zubairz, I would recommend you use the `xam.plugin.Madia` [android part source code](https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin/tree/master/src/Media.Plugin/Android) directly. – York Shen Apr 23 '19 at 07:27
