Android :: Single Intent To Take Picture / Pick Image From Gallery
Apr 25, 2010I'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?
Android :: Launch Intent Viewer To Display Image From Url
Jun 1, 2010I have the url of an image. What i need to do is launch the default image viewer for images using an intent. But it doesn't work. If I do not specify the type of data, the intent launches the browser since the data is a url. It works basically (since you can see the image on the browser) but what I would like is to have the gallery display the image for me.I can also download the image into a Bitmap but I would still not know how to display the Bitmap using the gallery (if that's even possible).I tried saving the bitmap to the cache and then launch the viewer on that file but it doesn't work. Can you spot any mistakes on my code? (The Utilities class is a class i wrote.

Jun 29, 2009I am trying to launch an email intent with an attached jpg. I did:
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
startActivity(intent4);
this launches the email activity.
But when I try to add DataAndType (my jpeg attachment). It fails with
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.SENDTO data=file:///data/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/files/temp-picture type=JPEG
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,

intent4.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ mTempFilePath),
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.name());
startActivity(intent4);
Android :: Intent To Pick Contact From Call Log
Oct 12, 2010I 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?

Android : Intent To Pick File For Attachment / Stop To Playback Music?
Nov 5, 2009In 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?
Android :: Pick Image From Gallery / Emulator Returns To Home Screen
May 7, 2010I 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Launch Messaging App Via Intent?
Jan 13, 2010What is the recommended way to launch the messaging app (for sending an MMS message) via an intent? The following code works on my HTC Magic ... code..
... but it first launches the Resolver activity (com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity), prompting the user to select the appropriate app (Email, Gmail, Messaging, Picasa). The user has to select Messaging before proceeding.
The only way I've found to bypass the resolver is to explicity set the desired component on the intent before starting the activity as follows:
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
However, I'm guessing this approach will not work on devices that have a customised UI, like the HTC Hero. Can someone confirm/deny?
I'm also struggling to find official documentation for the "address" and "sms_body" fields that can be supplied as extra data as per the above example. Is it expected that these will be supported by the default messaging app in future SDK versions and in customised UIs (like HTC's Sense UI)?

Android :: Way To Launch Calendar App With Generic Intent
Sep 13, 2009There's seemingly no way to launch the calendar app in a generic way. I've written a widget which allows you to launch the calendar. I use the following Intent:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setClassName("com.android.calendar", "com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity"); startActivity(i);
However, this doesn't work on the Hero because HTC has apparently replaced the calendar in their Sense UI. I'm looking for a "standard" way to reach the calendar. I'd like for something like this to be standardized:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setType("text/calendar"); startActivity(i);
Does anyone think it would be worth trying to add this to the source? It seems like there is a missing chunk of standards around calendar events and/or iCal / vCal support. Does anyone know why?
Android :: Create An Intent To Launch Any E-mail App?
Jun 30, 2010I have found various topics here and elsewhere on creating an intent for sending e-mail and that seems to be pretty straightforward. I'm looking for an intent to just launch any e-mail client the user might have.
Here is the code I've seen for sending an e-mail (posted just for reference, this doesn't serve my needs as I don't want to send a new message):code...
The code above works but isn't flexible in that a user might not be using Gmail but the other built-in e-mail application or a 3rd party e-mail app. I'm looking for an intent that would bring up the chooser in this case so the user can decide which app to launch to read e-mail.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Android :: Start An Intent To Launch An App To Background In Droid
May 16, 2010I'm using Wikitude API 1.1 as an AR viewer in my application. The problem with Wikitude, if I haven't launched the actual Wikitude application since the phone's bootup, I will get a NullPointerException everytime I start my own application.
So I figure if I can start my app first and them check if Wikitude is installed and or running. If it's not installed, go to market n download. If it's not running, then we should run it straight to background so that my app doesn't loose its focuscode...
The part I block commented is the intent to start Wikitude. But I always failed in restricting Wikitude to background. Any help?
