take picture from android camera and send it to web server

Question

im build some apps that call camera activity..

im just to take picture from my apps and send it to web server..

but i can't get my image path..

im always getting NullException Error when try to get image path..

here's my code when calling camera activity :

Intent camera = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    this.startActivityForResult(camera, PICTURE_RESULT);

and this is code for activity result :

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == PICTURE_RESULT){
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            takePicture(data);
        } else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {

        }
    }
}

protected void takePicture(Intent data) {
    Bundle b = data.getExtras();
    pic = (Bitmap) b.get("data");
    if (pic != null) {
        imagePicture.setImageBitmap(pic);
    }
}

is there something wrong with my code?

Thanks

You have added the camera permission to your manifest, yes? – Otra Jul 01 '11 at 12:08 — Otra, Jul 01 '11 at 12:08

Ok, I see your problem. You're not setting the path to begin with. Please look at this doc.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

So you see, when you call ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE you are not passing it the extra EXTRA_OUTPUT that tells the application where the picture is going to be stored. This EXTRA_OUTPUT is the path to the file.

So right under where you make the intent do this:

Intent camera = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
URI pictureUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(<path to your file>));
camera.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, pictureUri);

if i dont setting the path, i just get small image.. right? i get it know.. i will try it know.. thanks otra.. — pensilhijau, Jul 02 '11 at 06:51
