Above is my 3 files i'm using to get the pic preview from camera. I have gone through this thread : Capture Image from Camera and Display in Activity. Don't know why but things are getting worst.

Remove the quotations from around android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE. That should fix the exception you're getting. — bschultz, Mar 06 '12 at 17:47

Can you try ?

 Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

This line is working on my phone and on emulator and ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE value is :

 public static final java.lang.String ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE = "android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE";

how to capture picture and preview the same in android?
