Android Question Native Camera Intent

[MODERN TALKING]

Hi guys,

Glad to be back with the B4X Brotherhood

How you guys been?

This used to work 3 years ago but not now - can take picture but cannot save

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE", "")
i.PutExtra("output", ParseUri("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirInternal, PictureName)))
StartActivity(i)
            
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

App crashes unless I comment i.PutExtra

Has command methodology or Manifest changed?

Thank you very much

Did you check this sample?

Manifest changed

Maybe:

Don't miss the manifest editor code that is required for sharing file uris.

Thank you Jose

I check now

Hmmm - but where is the picture saved?

LOL. It's like I'm learning to ride a bicycle again. Sorry

In File.DirInternal ("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirInternal, PictureName)
You can try

Log(File.DirInternal)

To see where it is.

As a general rule:
- Store private files in File.DirInternal and public files in File.DirDefaultExternal or if you want to support runtime permissions then use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal (SEE THE TUTORIAL).

If you want to show it in the gallery:

Show image in Gallery (Android 7.0)

After searching in the forum, I tried this code: ' The image Dim bitmap As Bitmap = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "prueba.jpg") ' Copy to ...files/pruebas/prueba.jpg Dim Out As OutputStream Dim r As RuntimePermissions Out = File.OpenOutput(r.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("pruebas"), "prueba.jpg"...

Been away too long. Tough to get back in the swing of things

If anyone can solve this - then donation of USD 10 through Paypal - as a small token of my appreciation

Things have changed in two years - so what worked back then, ain't workin' now

Just need:

1. Open Native Camera
2. Take Picture - with manual click
3. SAVE PICTURE - in a Folder called "Demo"

Can do? Mighty obliged guys, if possible

Back online in a couple of hours

Hi!!
Attached sample does the job on the root directory, Just add the folder you need (ensure it exists or create it before saving)
Best regards!
Edit:
File is too large to be attached.
You can download it from http://descartexapps.es/apps/CameraExample.zip
