Android Camera

Example

Intents:
An Intent is exactly what it describes. It's an

"intention" to do an action.
An Intent is basically a message to say you
did or want something to happen. Depending
on the intent, apps or the OS might be
listening for it and will react accordingly.
Intents can be used to signal to the Android
system that a certain event has occurred.
Other components in Android can register to
this event via an intent filter.

Manifest Declarations

Before starting development on your

application with the Camera , you should

make sure your manifest has the appropriate
declarations to allow use of camera hardware
and other related features.
<uses-permission

android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STOR
AGE" />

ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
Standard Intent action that can be sent to

have the camera application capture an image

and return it.

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
