Can't get Intent.extras () from camera after taking photo
I found this to be a common problem with capturing a photo and getting a full size photo instead of a thumbnail (according to: http://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html ). Taking a photo and capturing a thumbnail is straightforward, but the rest of the tutorial seems unfinished and doesn't work. Has anyone resolved this in an easy way?
public class TakePhoto extends Activity{
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
static final int REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO = 1;
private String mCurrentPhotoPath;
private ImageView mImageView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.take_photo);
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
dispatchTakePictureIntent();
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
mImageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
}
}
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// Ensure that there a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
Log.i("ASD", ex.toString());
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
storageDir /* directory */
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
}

I would not have expected it to data
be null
. However, Intent
there shouldn't be any additional functionality on this . You only look "data"
if you haven't specified EXTRA_OUTPUT
. If you specify EXTRA_OUTPUT
, you will receive a photo from the path that you specified in EXTRA_OUTPUT
, and you will ignore the one Intent
that is placed on onActivityResult()
.
As far null
data
Intent
as it goes , it might be something special to the camera app you're using. Please keep in mind that use ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
means that you are relying on a third party application to take a picture, and third party applications may have bugs.

Although what you are doing is reading the file you created before triggering the camera intent, not reading data

I wrestled for hours with the same problem as "jean d'arme" except that I was trying to get the URI and not the Bitmap. To save other users from this waste of time, I will highlight the explanations "jean d'arme" and "Felipe Augusto" that helped me fix the error with the following steps:
1) Add a global variable to your class
private Uri uri;
2) Use this variable to get content of photoURI inside dispatchTakePictureIntent ()
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
{...}
if (photoFile != null) {
uri = photoURI;
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}
}
}
3) Use this Uri in onActivityResult method for whatever task you are counting on
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
//Perform any task using uri
//For example set this URI to fill an ImageView like below
this.imageView.setImageURI(uri);
}
}
I hope this twist helps some of you!
