Android :: Single Intent To Take Picture / Pick Image From Gallery
Apr 25, 2010
I'm developing an app for Android 2.1 upwards. I want to enable my users to select a profile picture within my app (I'm not using the contacts framework). The ideal solution would be to fire an intent that enables the user to select an image from the gallery, but if an appropriate image is not available then use the camera to take a picture (or vice-versa i.e. allow user to take picture but if they know they already have a suitable image already, let them drop into the gallery and pick said image). Currently I can do one or the other but not both.
If I go directly into camera mode using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE then there is no option to drop into the gallery. If I go directly to the gallery using Intent.ACTION_PICK then I can pick an image but if I click the camera button (in top right hand corner of gallery) then a new camera intent is fired. So, any picture that is taken is not returned directly to my application. (Sure you can press the back button to drop back into the gallery and select image from there but this is an extra unnecessary step and is not at all intuitive). So is there a way to combine both or am I going to have to offer a menu to do one or the other from within my application? Seems like it would be a common use case, surely I'm missing something?

I have seen a lot of posts about this, and it seems like the code below should work. I have created an SD Card image and added it to the emulator (and that works fine).
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType("image/*");
//intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
It does launch and allow selection of images, but when I click on an image, everything exits and the emulator returns to the home screen, not back to my app. My onActivityResult is never called either. What am I missing?

I've got a Droid with Touchdown, which works perfectly except for one issue. Any picture/image that comes through in emails in Touchdown gets saved into the Gallery, making it very large and hard to open. I have figured out where to delete these images, but it is sort of a pain to have to go in and delete them out every couple of days. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing in Touchdown to prevent this?

I'm using ACTION_PICK to show a contact picker:startActivityForResult( new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Uri.parse("content://contacts/people") ) ,RESULT_PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST); I'd really like to be showing only contacts from the My Contacts group, rather than the list which includes all the auto-generated contacts. I had hoped to find an Extra to specify the group, but I can't find any sign of one. Is there any way to pick a contact from a specified group, or do I need to write my own picker?

I am trying to locate the intent to load the call log view , does android platform provide that out of the box? the functionality that i am looking is just like picking a contact from address book , you can do that by using intent.ACTION_PICK and using the people content URI
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
It 'll show all the contacts of the system and on selecting one it 'll return the data URI of that particular contact by using callback if you start it by using startActivityForResult. could we do the same with call log as well is their any intent for that?

Trying to do something fairly simple, select from a picklist of tracks.
I have some code that in theory works, and this is as follows;
CODE:................
This works perfectly on the emulator, however when running on my Galaxy S, I get the following exception.
CODE:......
I'm not really sure, nor can I seem to find how to correct the issue.

I have some requirement to upload photo. I am able to browse gallery but not able to pick any photo from main gallery. Android allows us to upload snaps from SDCARD, I think there must be some way.

My application needs to import some photos from Gallery. Indeed, the application groups several persons. I want to attach a photo picked from Gallery to each person. Do I need to develop a activity like edit Contacts? This involves developing the display of images in a grid. Or can I use a provider or something-like to avoid to develop a Gallery-like with memory leak?

In application I'm developing i need to open some standard dialog to browse files on the phone. After picking one file I'll attach it to the message. In Android Dev Guide i found such way to solve my problem...
But in that dialog, when I'm trying to pick sound file, i start to playback. And one more problem - using that dialog i can see only gallery and music tracks.
Is there any other way to display such kind of dialog? Or maybe stop to playback the music?

I have an android context menu with various selections and depending on the user selection I want to start an intent. The intent starts the same activity for all the buttons but will contain different String variables depending on the selection. I am currently using a switch, case methodology for my click listener but keep running into 'duplicate local variable' problems as I try to eliminate code repetition! If anyone could provide a-bit of pseudo-code that would be even better.

Just to prove that I used the search, the only related thread I found was where they asked the same question, and I guess the OP started using handcent as a solution, but I don't want to do that. When I go to send a picture, or receieve a picture, it shows up as a slideshow. How can I stop doing this and it just be a picture like any other phone would do?

I am playing around with the Gallery widget.I would like to know how can we get the position of the image on focus in the gallery. For example having several pictures in my gallery, if I tap my finger to the right, pictures will come and go until it stop to one. How one can get the position of this one picture that is currently on focus ?I don't know if I was clear enough, if there is anything you want me to add do not hesitate.

Every damn picture I get, I have to make sure to look at it fast before 2 seconds end and the damn picture disappears, because for some reason, HTC decided slideshow view for all their damn picture messages was a good idea. Pressing the pause button doesn't work at all, as it just turns the screen black for whatever freakin reason.

Suppose that into images folder I have several subfolders, say 25. I would like a way to display in Gallery say 2 folders, with the pictures that I desire into each one, without having to physically moving the pictures (because for example each subfolder corresponds to a month, like nokia does: 201201, 201202, etc.)

I want to create a scrollable map and trigger different actions when the user touches a different areas. With iPhone, it was easy by putting buttons on top of the image. How do I do it in Android? I used a custom view to enable scrolling in both directions. Now how do I make different parts of the image trigger different events on click?

I'm trying to setup an intent that allows users to share an Jpeg, stored in the applications file cache.
Trying this:
CODE:.................
It works for the eMail application, but not for any other app (like Facebook or Twitdroid). Gallery supports them. Does anyone know, how exactly Gallery does it?

I have a png and a jpg image on disk. I'd like to use any built-in intent (if any are available) to view the image (just a single one at a time). Something like this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setImagePath("/blah/myimage.jpg");
startActivity(intent);
is there a built-in intent in android to do this, or do I have to write my own image viewing-activity? It would be cool if there was one that had panning/zooming as found in WebView.

I have compiled Android source code already (which I downloaded using GIT), and I am being editing the source code of an Application for testing on Emulator, each time I wanna see results I have to re-Compile the source code again using 'make' I am pretty sure that there is a way to partly-compile the image.

I have an Activity for my application to take pictures and store them with a content provider. The problem is that obviously I would like the picture to auto rotate depending if I have my phone in landscape or not and I would like to use the autofocus feature. So I'm wondering if I could just call a Camera app intent and get the URI of the picture taken. is that possible? I remind reading that it will only give me a small size picture.

If you're only running a single screen(as I am) what would be the correct size for a picture to fit perfectly? I can't seem to figure it out.

My application has buttons to launch gallery and video camera apps but the below code only seems to work on phones with the standard Cupcake build:
// For Gallery Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.GalleryPicker");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);
// For Video Camera Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.VideoCamera"); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);
On rooted / non-cupcake phones, I get this error:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.camera/com.android.camera.VideoCamera};
have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult (Instrumentation.java:1480) at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java: 1454) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:2656) at android.app.Activity.startActivity(Activity.java:2700)
