Importing Image From Camera

            In this tutorial I want to explain how to take a picture in camera ans import that picture to an ImageView using Intent,

In this I am having One Button and One ImageView. While Tap on the button it will open Camera. After that the user can take photo After taking photo it will ask for save image. If the user save the image then it will display on the Imageview.

You can also Inport Image from Camera with the help if File Provider. I am Explains about Capture Image using Camera with the Help of File provider From Here


activity_main.xml

This is a Layout of main page. This layout contain One Button and one Imageview.



<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="top|center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/BtnSelectImg"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Insert Image" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ImgPhoto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

</LinearLayout>

  1. The problem I have is that the pictures are coming out "pixeled", why?

    1. Because these are not the original images. Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data") only grabs the thumbnail of the image that was taken.

  2. How can we display the original image captured?
