How to save a picture to a file?
- by Peter vdL
I'm trying to use a standard Intent that will take a picture, then allow approval or retake. Then I want to save the picture into a file.
Here's the Intent I am using:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE );
startActivityForResult( intent, 22 );
The docs at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
say "The caller may pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control where this
image will be written. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is not present, then a
small sized image is returned as a Bitmap object in the extra field. If
the EXTRA_OUTPUT is present, then the full-sized image will be
written to the Uri value of EXTRA_OUTPUT."
I don't pass extra output, I hope to get a Bitmap object in the extra field of the Intent passed into onActivityResult() (for this request). So where/how do you extract it? Intent has a getExtras(), but that returns a Bundle, and Bundle wants a key string to give you something back.
What do you invoke on the Intent to extract the bitmap?
