Get image Uri in onActivityResult after taking photo?

Question

I have this code:

startActivityForResult(new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE), CAMERA_IMAGE);

That allows that user to take a photo. Now

Answer 1

Instead of just launching the intent, also make sure to tell the intent where you want the photo.

Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://somewhere_that_you_choose");
Intent photoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
photoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
startActivityForResult(photoIntent, CAMERA_IMAGE);

Then when you get your onActivityResult() method called, if it was a success just open a stream to the URI and it should all be set.
