How to capture a custom image size with the camera in android?

Question

How to capture an square image in android? I want to capture an square image (such as 300x300 pixel) by calling Camera through intent in android, how can I do this?

Answer 1

Why nobody mentioned something like this?

Bitmap resultBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, xStart, yStart, 300, 300);

where sourceBitmap is original capture from camera and xStart and yStart location from where cropping will start. The result should have xStart, yStart in top left corner.
