    <p>I have created my own camera application. And when I click the button it takes the picture and saves it in the galary. What I want to do is to take the picture without a preview and without clicking any button.</p> <p>My main activity class.</p> <pre><code>package themiya.camera.android; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.hardware.Camera; import android.hardware.Camera.PictureCallback; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Environment; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.FrameLayout; import android.widget.Toast; public class CameraActivity extends Activity { private Camera mCamera; private CameraPreview mPreview; public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Button captureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture); System.out.println("Starting!"); // Create an instance of Camera mCamera = getCameraInstance(); // Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity. mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera); FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview); preview.addView(mPreview); final PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() { public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) { File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); if (pictureFile == null){ return; } try { FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile); fos.write(data); fos.close(); MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), pictureFile.getAbsolutePath(), pictureFile.getName(), pictureFile.getName()); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { } catch (IOException e) { } } }; // Add a listener to the Capture button captureButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { // get an image from the camera System.out.println("Photo Taking!"); mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture); } } ); } /** A safe way to get an instance of the Camera object. */ public static Camera getCameraInstance(){ Camera c = null; try { c = Camera.open(); // attempt to get a Camera instance } catch (Exception e){ // Camera is not available (in use or does not exist) } return c; // returns null if camera is unavailable } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); releaseCamera(); // release the camera immediately on pause event } private void releaseCamera(){ if (mCamera != null){ mCamera.release(); // release the camera for other applications mCamera = null; } } /** Create a File for saving an image or video */ private File getOutputMediaFile(int type){ // To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted // using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this. File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "MyCameraApp"); // This location works best if you want the created images to be shared // between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled. // Create the storage directory if it does not exist if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){ if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){ return null; } } // Create a media file name String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date()); File mediaFile; if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE){ mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg"); } else { return null; } return mediaFile; } } </code></pre> <p>And the preview class.</p> <pre><code>package themiya.camera.android; import android.content.Context; import android.hardware.Camera; import android.view.SurfaceHolder; import android.view.SurfaceView; public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{ private SurfaceHolder mHolder; private Camera mCamera; public CameraPreview(Context context,Camera camera) { super(context); mCamera = camera; /*SurfaceView view = new SurfaceView(this); c.setPreviewDisplay(view.getHolder()); c.startPreview(); c.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawPictureCallback, jpegPictureCallback); * */ // Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the // underlying surface is created and destroyed. mHolder = getHolder(); mHolder.addCallback(this); // deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0 mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); } public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub if (mHolder.getSurface() == null){ // preview surface does not exist return; } // stop preview before making changes try { mCamera.stopPreview(); } catch (Exception e){ // ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview } // set preview size and make any resize, rotate or // reformatting changes here // start preview with new settings try { mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder); mCamera.startPreview(); } catch (Exception e){ } } public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } } </code></pre> <p>In the activity class the on click method is like this.</p> <pre><code>captureButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { // get an image from the camera System.out.println("Photo Taking!"); mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture); } } ); </code></pre> <p>And when I remove that listener part and put only the</p> <pre><code>mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture); </code></pre> <p>part application crashes. I think that may be due to the delay that the application takes to open the camera. So code try to get the photo before opening the camera. Also wait(10000); didn't work for me.</p> <p>And also I want to take the picture without the preview. According to my knowledge I have to change the preview class to do that. But I don't know the correct way to do it.</p> <p>Can anyone help me with this asp.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
