What is wrong in this code to use camera in android studio?

339 views Asked by At

I copied the following code from : https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html

I also added the permission in the manifest file. But the app is crashing as soon as it starts. What is wrong here?

MainActivity.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
ImageView  mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button b1=(Button) findViewById(R.id.imgButton);


    //
    View.OnClickListener imgButtonClickListener=new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view)
        {
            dispatchTakePictureIntent();
        }
    };
    //

    b1.setOnClickListener(imgButtonClickListener);

}

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent()
{
    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null)
    {
        startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
        Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
        Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
        mImageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
    }
}

}

MainActivity.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

<ImageView

    android:id="@+id/img"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

    android:layout_marginBottom="177dp" />

<Button
    style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="IMG"
    android:id="@+id/imgButton"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="76dp" />


</RelativeLayout>

The line

ImageView mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);

should be inside of your onCreate() after your setContentView

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ImageView mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);

That line is assigning to mImageView the results of findViewById(R.id.img) which needs to run after you've inflated your layout in setContentView(R.layout.activity_main).

Just replace line

ImageView mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);

with

ImageView mImageView;

and in onCreate() add below line

mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);
