Android Question Camera EZ Result

[Douglas Farias]

Hi all
I m using the camera ez to take photos with the native camera.
Ok, this works fine on some devices, but i have a problem with samsung devices.

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ezcamera.22931/#content

The event _picturetaken dont work on some samsung devices.
The Creator of this lib @Roger Garstang leave the forum many time ago.

i have tested with native camera intent too and the result is null ever on some devices

Sub OpenCam(Directory As String, PictureName As String)

    Dim i As Intent

    i.Initialize("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE", "")
    i.PutExtra("output", ParseUri("file://" & File.Combine(Directory, PictureName)))
          
    StartActivity(i)
          
End Sub

Sub ParseUri(FileName As String) As Object

    Dim r As Reflector

    Return r.RunStaticMethod("android.net.Uri", "parse", Array As Object(FileName), Array As String("java.lang.String"))

End Sub

the two codes are good and works fine and well on some devices.
but i really dont know why this dont work on some devices, the event _picturetaken dont is called or the intent return null

What the solution to this lib or this snipp code works fine on all devices?

 

[Erel]

I've removed the decompiled code. Do not post it unless Roger explicitly allows you to decompile his libraries.

 

[Douglas Farias]

ok and the fix for the bug?

this have nothing special

  public void TakePicture(String Directory, String FileName)
  {
    Intent i = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");

converted to b4a it is

Sub OpenCam(Directory As String, PictureName As String)

    Dim i As Intent

    i.Initialize("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE", "")
    i.PutExtra("output", ParseUri("file://" & File.Combine(Directory, PictureName)))
           
    StartActivity(i)
           
End Sub

Sub ParseUri(FileName As String) As Object

    Dim r As Reflector

    Return r.RunStaticMethod("android.net.Uri", "parse", Array As Object(FileName), Array As String("java.lang.String"))

End Sub

why this works on some devices and some devices dont work? the intent looks corret, the camera ez code looks correct too

 

[thedesolatesoul]

I guess it depends on the device.
You only open an intent for standard image capture, but if the device's camera app for e.g. does not support returning a value from the intent then it may not work.
What you can do instead is to use a flag when you fire the intent, and then check that in activity_resume.
Alternatively look at the first thread in 'Similar threads' on the top of this thread.

 

[Douglas Farias]

Yes i see this here
but it dont help me on my case
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ezcamera.22931/#post-175164

i need a original fix
dont have another solution?

for eclipse i found this, but dont know how to convert

[thedesolatesoul]

What do you mean 'original' fix?
If the manufacturers broke it in their devices, then only they can give you an original fix.
You will have to fix each solution separately as those threads indicate there are many issue with the camera (returns null, doesnt return, doesnt insert in gallery, does insert in gallery, orientation issues).

 

[Douglas Farias]

i think this exacty fix this bug *-*
can you help me to convert to b4a pls?

I can help you, but this is not the solution to the bug you are facing. Did you read the post?

i really dont know how to search this in english, i m not good with english
i think the bug its on the

    this.ion = new IOnActivityResult()
    {
      public void ResultArrived(int resultCode, Intent intent)
      {
        if (resultCode == -1) {
          EZcamera.this.ba.raiseEvent(EZcamera.this, EZcamera.this.eventName + "_picturetaken", new Object[] { Boolean.valueOf(true) });
        } else {
          EZcamera.this.ba.raiseEvent(EZcamera.this, EZcamera.this.eventName + "_picturetaken", new Object[] { Boolean.valueOf(false) });
        }
      }
    };
    this.ba.startActivityForResult(this.ion, i);
  }

in some devices the event _picturetaken dont work, only this i know writein english

i think this is the problem

Did you read the post?

no. and he did NOT recognize that there is NO "fixed" answer (no answer is marked mwith a green sign)

My suggestion to douglas: Learn JAVA and write a new bug free Camera-Library for us.
Then we have (MAYBE!) a bug free version

 

[Douglas Farias]

I wanted, but Learn to 0% and try to fix a camera (Advanced) It is not possible to beginner. I need Learn java 5 or 6 months only for try fix the camera.

no. and he did NOT recognize that there is NO "fixed" answer (no answer is marked mwith a green sign)

i know this, for this i m trying to find a solution here on the forum.
dont need is the original fix, but only find a solution for some devices.

i dont know use try, catch etc on java, if i think need make a check ,
1° - take picture
2° - try to save in the informed place (folde, picture name)
3° - if the 2° dont work, try save on another place
4° - if the 3° dont work, the phone dont save on the informed place (try save get the path of original place, where this is saved with the correct name file)
5° - return this to b4a (path)

this only checks if is == -1

this.ion = new IOnActivityResult()
    {
      public void ResultArrived(int resultCode, Intent intent)
      {
        if (resultCode == -1) {
          EZcamera.this.ba.raiseEvent(EZcamera.this, EZcamera.this.eventName + "_picturetaken", new Object[] { Boolean.valueOf(true) });
        } else {
          EZcamera.this.ba.raiseEvent(EZcamera.this, EZcamera.this.eventName + "_picturetaken", new Object[] { Boolean.valueOf(false) });
        }
      }
    };
    this.ba.startActivityForResult(this.ion, i);
  }

but i dont know how to make all this checks on java =(

BULLSHIT DOUGLAS! TELL US NO SHIT!

I STARTED LEARNING JAVA 3 months ago! Before that i DID NOT KNOW ANY LINE JAVA.
Have you seen what i wrote on libraries in the last months?

You cant solve this problem without understanding it. There is no magic bullet.

Just take a while, relax, clear your mind and think about it. Dont go on the internet search spree when you cannot understand what they are saying. Chill.

Now, let me tell you, there is no real solution to this problem. There is no magic one line of java code or a stack overflow answer that will solve all your problems. This is not one problem, this is 10 problems. You have to work at them one after the other. And there is no 'good' or 'elegant' solution. There is only 'workarounds'.
If you want to be a problem solver, you need to think about how to solve problems, not how to find solutions.

Firstly, you should stop posting EZCamera code for two reasons:
- It doesnt work
- You are not allowed to post some elses decompiled code

Secondly, to do the check above I already linked you to this thread: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/using-startactivityforresult-with-javaobject.40374/
This checks the result code.
But this will not solve your problem again because no intent is raised.

That is why I told you initially to use activity_resume and a flag.

no. and he did NOT recognize that there is NO "fixed" answer (no answer is marked mwith a green sign)

My suggestion to douglas: Learn JAVA and write a new bug free Camera-Library for us.

Yes, there is no fixed answer.
Possibly Camera2 or Camera3 API will be bug free.

 

[Douglas Farias]

3 months =)
ok, what the fix for this camera bug?

 

[DonManfred]

Did i say somewhere that I will fix YOUR problems?????

Welcome back on my ignore-list! AGAIN!

And this time i will NOT remove you again from this list! I SWEAR!

Resume = no fix
the only solution is this

but have a way to get a path when the picture is saved with random name on random place?

FUCK YOU ASHOLE!

why the ignorance?
u tell me to learn java, i say i need to learn 5,6 months to fix this

u tell me

BULLSHIT DOUGLAS! TELL US NO SHIT!

ok, 3 months. know fix the bug? nop
whats the problem here? why the ignorance? my afirmation its correct need 5 6 months to fix this ¬¬

i m only trying to fix a camera bug here on the forum.
your posts dont help me

ty for u help
@thedesolatesoul
you explained my question .

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ack-from-camera-app-intent.11378/#post-132956

Yes, this is exactly the solution.

Now for part2. If it gets saved to a random location, you can fetch that using the media browser lib. If you order by date you will get the last taken picture at the top.
