I am working on an Android Activity where I want to pass a Camera Intent to an Input Stream, in order to process it further through the Activity; The aim is that the user can make a Camera picture and that the picture is then processed as an Input Stream and passed to an API.
I am not sure if that´s the best way to "convert" a Camera Image into an Input Stream, therefore I am open to any suggestion and hint; this is my code so far:

You can trigger a Camera intent and tell it where to save your picture, after that you can open the file as an InputStream. To do so you need to pass the file Uri like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
If you don't pass the File Uri you'll receive a thumbnail not the full size photo. For more details take a look a the docs:
