Android Camera

Android devices provide application services to operate the camera and either save or return a bitmap.

 

Chester Wilson at ADUG  provides a simple application demonstrating

a form to adjust the Camera options.

the use of a Media Action Item to access the Android's inbuilt camera service and

using a multi-platform Camera component to  "Preview" the camera image and then "save" a snapshot.

 

Permission to use the camera and any file access has to be enabled obviously but to use the inbuilt camera service I needed to also add Entitlements>Secure Files to the application options so a "file provider" was included in the manifest  even if the service was not being used to save files.
