ParaCamera
Simple android camera to capture and get bitmaps in three simple steps:
1. Build Camera
// Create global camera reference in an activity or fragment
Camera camera;
// Build the camera
camera = new Camera.Builder()
.resetToCorrectOrientation(true)// it will rotate the camera bitmap to the correct orientation from meta data
.setTakePhotoRequestCode(1)
.setDirectory("pics")
.setName("ali_" + System.currentTimeMillis())
.setImageFormat(Camera.IMAGE_JPEG)
.setCompression(75)
.setImageHeight(1000)// it will try to achieve this height as close as possible maintaining the aspect ratio;
.build(this);
2. Capture Image
// Call the camera takePicture method to open the existing camera
try {
camera.takePicture();
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
3. Get bitmap and saved image path
// Get the bitmap and image path onActivityResult of an activity or fragment
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(requestCode == Camera.REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO){
Bitmap bitmap = camera.getCameraBitmap();
if(bitmap != null) {
picFrame.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}else{
Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(),"Picture not taken!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
// The bitmap is saved in the app's folder
// If the saved bitmap is not required use following code
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
camera.deleteImage();
}
