Man, I am still not able to save a picture when I send an intent asking for a photo to be taken. Here's what I am doing:

  1. Make a URI representing the pathname

    android.content.Context c = getApplicationContext();

    String fname = c.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()+"/parked.jpg";

    java.io.File file = new java.io.File( fname );

    Uri fileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);

  2. Create the Intent (don't forget the pkg name!) and start the activity

    private static int TAKE_PICTURE = 22;

    Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE );

    intent.putExtra("com.droidstogo.boom1." + MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); startActivityForResult( intent, TAKE_PICTURE );

  3. The camera activity starts, and I can take a picture, and approve it. My onActivityResult() then gets called. But my file doesn't get written. The URI is: file:///data/data/com.droidstogo.boom1/files/parked.jpg

  4. I can create thumbnail OK (by not putting the extra into the Intent), and can write that file OK, and later read it back).

Can anyone see what simple mistake I am making? Nothing obvious shows up in the logcat - the camera is clearly taking the picture. Thanks,

Peter
