How do I access the camera on Android phones?

Question

I\'ve written a program in Java that takes in an image file and manipulates the image. Now I\'m trying to access the camera so that I can take the photo and give it to the image

Answer 1

the most important method is:

Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] imageData, Camera c) {

    }
};

This method is called when a picture is taken. Here is a good tutorial on this topic: http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/43414.aspx

hmm... or maybe you need this one:

Camera mCamera;
...
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    mCamera.takePicture(null, mPictureCallback, mPictureCallback);
}
