Capture Image:

  public class Camera extends Activity 
  {
 private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888;
 private String selectedImagePath;
 WebView webview;
 String fileName = "capturedImage.jpg";
 private static Uri mCapturedImageURI; 

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) 
        { 
            Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
            ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 40, bytes);
            Random randomGenerator = new Random();randomGenerator.nextInt();
            String newimagename=randomGenerator.toString()+".jpg";
            File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                                    + File.separator + newimagename);
            try {
                f.createNewFile();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            //write the bytes in file

            try {
                fo = new FileOutputStream(f.getAbsoluteFile());
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            try {
                fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
                uri=f.getAbsolutePath(); 
    //this is the url that where you are saved the image
      }



  }

Choose Image:

   public class ChoosePicture extends Activity 
   {
      private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
      private String  selectedImagePath;

      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
      {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          webview=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
          Intent intent = new Intent();
          intent.setType("image/*");
          intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
          intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
          startActivityForResult(intent, SELECT_PICTURE);
      }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE)
            {
                Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
                selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
                try {
                    FileInputStream fileis=new FileInputStream(selectedImagePath);
                    BufferedInputStream bufferedstream=new BufferedInputStream(fileis);
                    byte[] bMapArray= new byte[bufferedstream.available()];
                    bufferedstream.read(bMapArray);
                    Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bMapArray, 0, bMapArray.length);
  //this is the image that you are choosen

                    if (fileis != null) 
                    {
                        fileis.close();
                    }
                    if (bufferedstream != null) 
                    {
                        bufferedstream.close();
                    }
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {                 
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {                   
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }               
            }
        }
    }


public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        int column_index = cursor
                .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }
}

Answer 2

in my case i use this: when i click on save button pic is save and return me path in filePath variable.

String filePath =
        Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +"/your_image_name.jpeg";
File file = new File(filePath);
Uri output = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, output);

and in onactivityresul() i use this "filePath" .
