my first question here! I have a problem with a piece of code that starts a camera intent with the extra output options and then on activity result tries to resize that image. what is happening is that a nullpointer exception gets thrown in the resize function at the callback.
The original large picture is still saved on the file system, as I can access that from the filesystem.
The original camera jpeg is 2560x1920 in size and the phone in use is a google nexus one.
I have no clear idea asto why the resize is not working, anyone have any insight?
Here's some code:
The takePicture function that also creates the dummy file:
public boolean takePicture( ) {
Log.e(TAG, "takePicture interface function");
String FileUri = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/samples/";
File file = new File(FileUri,"picture"+ pictureNumber +".jpg");
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
Log.e(TAG, "intent started");
return true;
}
The on activity result callback function:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// handle the camera request returns and handle back button in camera.
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED ) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this,"Canceled, no picture taken.", 1000);
toast.show();
return;
}
else if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK ) {
Log.e(TAG, "Camera intent return");
Bitmap scaledphoto = null;
int height = 300;
int width = 300;
Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeFile( APP_DATA_PATH + "/samples/picture" + pictureNumber + ".jpg" );
Log.e(TAG, "Picture fetched");
scaledphoto = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(photo, height, width, true);
Log.e(TAG, "Picture scaled");
saveImageToFile(scaledphoto, "picture" + pictureNumber + ".jpg");
Log.e(TAG, "Scaled picture saved");
myWebView.loadUrl("javascript:pictureTaken(\""+ pictureLoc + "\")");
pictureNumber++;
And here's the LogCat:
