Camera intent filter

I need some help on camera intent / filter. Below are my questions.

  • What is the intent filter I should use to make my app handle camera intent ?
  • Are there any apps which handles a camera intent(ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE) ?

What I am trying to figure out is, if I through an intent with filter ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, is it possible for any 3rd party app to respond for my request?

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • 1. What is the intent filter I should use to make my app handle camera intent ?

    Ans) should be included in the manifest file intent-filter of the activity which can handle a camera

    2. Are there any apps which handles a camera intent(ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE) ?

    Ans)Pudding Camera, LINE Camera, Uva silent camera Free,..

    I got confused because intent used to call camera app is android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE and intent-filter used in manifest file is android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE.

    Thanks for all who replied.

    Thanks,

    Sai.
