Answer 1

define a variable like this

protected static final int CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 0;

Use the code for calling camera from android.

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
imageUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"fname_" +        
                        String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg"));
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);

and in the class calling this override the onActivityResult function and enter the code below.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {

            //use imageUri here to access the image

            Bundle extras = data.getExtras();

            Log.e("URI",imageUri.toString());

            Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");

            // here you will get the image as bitmap


        } 
          else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Picture was not taken", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
           } 
         }


    }
