Android :: Starting Video Camera With Intent
Sep 20, 2010
I am writing a very small app that just opens the camera app ready for video. I am able to get my code to work on an Android 2.2 emulator, but it will not work on my device, Motorola Droid 1 stock 2.2 FRG22D. Any ideas where I went wrong on this code?
CODE:............
It appears ThorstenW is correct. I would upvote your answer if I had enough rep. You can see from the logcat that com.android.camera could not be found and throws a fatal exception. Logcat below.

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)

When starting two activities of the same class within the same instance using the flag REORDER_TO_FRONT, the new extra information of the second call does not override the first starting activity. Is this the desired behavior? How do retrieve the new extras?
For example: In the StubActivity, I have this code:
Intent i = new Intent(this, A.class);
i.putExtra("foobar",1); startActivity(i);
Activity A is displayed, and then this code is called upon a button press:
new Intent(this, A.class);
i.putExtra("foobar",2);
i.setFlag(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(i);
Activity A is re-displayed. Now check for the extras: int foobar = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("foobar")
Turns out that foobar = 1

I had come across a code snippet which calls for an activity without referring to any context. Before, i was considering that context is used to tell about the calling component. But as i came see that another component can be called without any reference to context, it makes me wonder what purpose it might be serving. please put some light on it.
Here is the code which calls for an activity without referring to 'context'

I've had my Droid X since launch and been lurking here for awhile, I haven't had any real issues until now though...
Yesterday, my droid x started randomly opening the camera application without anyone or anything even touching the phone. It's maddeningly frustrating. It wakes the phone up when the screen is off, which kills the battery faster, it randomly pops up when I'm web browsing or writing a text. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, was there a fix other than taking the phone back to verizon? I haven't gotten the phone wet or dropped it or anything.

I bought a x10 mini pro this week and the same day the phone arrived i updated to 2.1 with SE PC Companion software.
I didnīt noticed if this happens to 1.6 duo to the short usage of this droid version.
Every time i starts the camera application or any application that uses the camera (like Google goggles for example), the phone aparently crashes and suddenly reboot. After the reboot, the camera used to work for the first times but about aprox 30 min. or less that the phone has been rebooted, when i try to start the camera, the phone crashes and restarts again.
Iīve tried to Repair the phone in pc Companion software and the issue continues the same.

I'd like to let the user take a picture using the camera, then use it in my app. Ideally I could use the built-in camera app via an intent for this.is the only reliable option to use the 192x256 memory-only image supplied by the camera intent? The following seems to not work:
1) Asking the camera intent to write a 'full size' image to disk.
2) Writing your own camera app (issues on different devices etc).
The Facebook app seems to use the memory-only 192x256 option, probably because that's the only safe option. Anyone else have different opinions / experiences?

I can't find any intent which opens the camera. The closest I've found is ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON but that breaks if the phone has no hardware button for the camera.

I'm using the phone's camera in an Android app to take a photo. I'm using Intents to use the built-in camera application.It works fine and the camera is brought up. I can take a photo and the phone presents me with three options: Cancel, Retake, OK. The first two work, pressing cancel returns the user to the app, but pressing OK and nothing happens. Apparently onActivityResult isn't being called, and the camera just stays on the screen. Nothing in the debugger either.Running the app on a Nexus One with Android 2.2.1. Same problem on the emulator running Android 2.0.

Does anyone know of an intent I can use to open a raw mp4 resource in the phone's video player?
I tried this code:
CODE:..............
This threw an ActivityNotFoundException, however this has worked for me when the URI was the sdcard and the video was located there. Does anyone know how I can use the above code with a resource file in my app?

I am trying to take picture by G1 camera.
I have tried almost everything i was able to find on the net about this topic. It seams there should be intent with action "android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" which really starts camera application and returns captured image. But captured image is scaled to 0.25 of original size. Another possibility I have found is to pass uri where to save captured image. I went through all available sources of camera application and it should work but does not.
For illustration, I am doing following in my example activity which creates new image, but after returning from camera, image is still empty:
CODE:..................
I am ready to write my own capturing application, but it is quite hard and I would like to reuse.
Do you know correct intent action name and extra name to pass to capture image?

We have an Activity which has a form on it and we launch an Intent to take a picture.We've overridden onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState to push the data from the view fields But, on the return from the CameraActivity, the onRestoreInstanceState method is never called. Should this behavior work when calling another Intent?

I'm working on an android application that plays video, by using an intent:tostart = new Intent(Intent. ACTION_ VIEW);tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieurl), "video/*");startActivity(tostart);This works great. However, when you press the back button (on the device), the movieplayer goes back to the beginning of the movie. Only when you press back again, it goes back to my application. While the current behaviour makes some sense, I would like to know if I can change it: Is is possible to directly go back after pressing back?

I have an android application which contains multiple activities. In one of them I'm using a button which will call the device camera :
Code:
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent photoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(photoIntent, IMAGE_CAPTURE);[code]....
The problem is that the intent data is null and the OnActivityResult method turns directly to the (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) and the application returns to the previous avtivity.How can I fix this issue and after calling the camera, the application returns to the current activity which contains an ImageView which will contains the picture taken?

I am developing am app to take photos and Video and then email the file to the user. The app works fine for photos on the phone and simulator. And works fine for Video on the simulator, but when I try video on the phone it returns a null pointer on the line Uri u = data.getData(). The phone I have tried it on is the HTC.
ContentValues values = new ContentValues ();
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/3gp");
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DESCRIPTION, "Video");
ImageUri = getContentResolver().insert (android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

I'm Trying to fine tune the Camera settings and was wondering if you guys changed the settings around and got better Pictures/Video and what did you change your settings to? I'm more concerned about fine tuning the video Settings even though i know both the Camera/Camcorder share the same settings.

Where to get streaming (live) video and audio from camera example for Android? Suppose I want to create some live video streaming service app so I'll have some cool server at the back end. And I know how to do that part. Suppose I have some stand alone app for PCs now I want to go on to mobile devices. So I want to see some sample app grabing audio and video streams from Phone, Synchronizing them, encoding somehow, and sending LIVE stream to server. I need any Open-Source sample that will do this or something like this. Where can I get such one?
