[CODE][Q] Pass extra twice(image to mms), or use lastIndexOf() to get file?

Ok so this may get sort of complicated, but I'll try to explain it simply.
I have a mainActivity(viewpager). i take a screenshot of this from ABS options menu. This gets saved to sdcard . WORKS FINE
Code:
this is selecting from the actionbar menu
else if (item.getTitle().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("Take Screengrab")) {
View v1 = R1.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bm = v1.getDrawingCache();
Util.saveBitmap(bm, "folder", "screenshot");
//the above are the folder I chose to name, and the screenshotname{without additional numbering}
BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bm);
image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image4);
//imageview is above. second ativity is below
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Screenshots.class);
intent.putExtra("image", bm);
//"image" is my extra
startActivity(intent);
I send that while its saving, to an ImageView in a second(normal) activity. WORKS FINE
Code:
[user=439709]@override[/user]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.screenshots);
//The ImageView where the screenshot goes
ImageView image=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image4);
//This "imageId" isnt used, but for some reason the Imageview wont set without it
Intent intent = getIntent();
int imageId = intent.getIntExtra("imageId", -1); // -1 would be a default value//
//this gets my extra
Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)this.getIntent().getParcelableExtra("image");
image.setImageBitmap(bm);
I have a button to share it, it opens with picture attached. SORT OF WORKING
The thing is, I want to automatically pass this same extra Bitmap and attach it to the message.
i can open a message with a known file attached.
Code:
{
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/folder/screenshot.png"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
i tried the working in putExtra to the message, but I get a toast from the messaging app "Sorry, cannot attach this image". NO STACK ERRORS. nothign in the logs I can use.
Code:
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("image"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
and other stuff like that that.
I currently am loading a known file into the message and it works perfect. Problem is, I wont know the name of the file, because my screenshots get saved as image1, image2, etc. So it will be different in every case.
So im wondering if its even possible to pass and extra through twice like that, or if I should look into return the latest image in that sdcard folder with like lastIndexOf(), or something similar.
basically, is there a way to simply query find and attach the highest numbered file? without a GUI(i can do select from gallery, but am trying to make it more automated).
any thoughts would be appreciated.
P.S. i know about the lint errors and things, and somewhat sloppy self taught java, but its working. only worried about the image passing.

I would just pass the filename to the share intent. In your saving method return the file name and pass it to the Uri.
lastIndexOf is a bad idea. What will you do if somebody saves a file called "xyz" in the same directory? The app will send this every time. So store the filename and pass it to the Uri.

Yeah I had originally tried going about it that, with like getFileStreamPath and things like that, tried about a dozen different things but couldnt get them working. best i can get is that "sorry cant add..." message from the messaging app, which tells me that its passing the image, but it cant attach for some unknown reason(too large doesn't seem right, cuz i can do it with the known file name).
im a dum dum a probably should put this util class
Code:
static String saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, String dir, String baseName) {
try {
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File pictureDir = new File(sdcard, dir);
pictureDir.mkdirs();
File f = null;
for (int i = 1; i < 200; ++i) {
String name = baseName + i + ".png";
f = new File(pictureDir, name);
if (!f.exists()) {
break;
}
}
if (!f.exists()) {
String name = f.getAbsolutePath();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(name);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
//how to get "name" in third activity
return name;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
/*
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
*/
}
return null;
}
So I have the name there, but just cant get it over to the messaging. I'm wondering if I should take the pic and automaticaaly pin it to the MMS, and skip the imageview part?

First: Please get a logcat.
Second: This should be working if you use the right path:
Code:
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("<path here>"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
startActivity(intent);
(got it from your first post)

1. This is a for instance situtation of if i try sliding the extra or something else into Uri.parse()
E/Mms/compose( 1063): DRM error in onActivityResult()!
E/Mms/media( 1063): IOException caught while opening or reading stream
E/Mms/media( 1063): java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: image
But the content of image makes it into the ImageView(as "getParcelableExtra("image"), just not in the MMS, so I don't know.
2. Yeah it works Perfect when I hardcode in a file( sdcard/folder/image1.png). attaches and sends perfect.
The problem is basically I have a loose understanding of how I should be doing this, and just cant figure out how I should properly be getting it to load.
Banging my head against the wall on this one. lol. :fingers-crossed:

The problem is that you do not pass the right file name. So it cannot find the file.
---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
Change it to this and tell us the log output:
Code:
static String saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, String dir, String baseName) {
try {
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File pictureDir = new File(sdcard, dir);
pictureDir.mkdirs();
File f = null;
for (int i = 1; i < 200; ++i) {
String name = baseName + i + ".png";
f = new File(pictureDir, name);
if (!f.exists()) {
break;
}
}
if (!f.exists()) {
Log.d("file", "file does not exist");
String name = f.getAbsolutePath();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(name);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
//how to get "name" in third activity
if (name != null) {
Log.d("return", name);
} else {
Log.d("return", "name = null");
}
return name;
} else {
Log.d("file", "file exists");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
/*
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
*/
}
Log.d("return", "null");
return null;
}
I just inserted some debugging things. Check the logcat (and post it).
Did you add this to your manifest?
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

i know! I just need a way to get what my Util class returns as name. then open that attached to Message. It seems like it should be a lot easier than I am making it.
i added your logs, but the only match back I get is here (I put in some extra stuff)

Yeah, I took 162 screenshots so far trying to get this. lol.
And yeah I declared the right permissions and everything. It takes the screenshot, saves it, and passes it to an ImageView in a different activity perfectly.
I can open Messaging, or FB,picassa, etc. It appends the text, but no image. BUT, i can simply hit attach from the opened message, and add in whatever picture I want.
I thought about just sending people into the gallery to pick, but the android numbering convention doesn't load images in sequential order, but a sort of numerical alphabetical( it saves likes 1, 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,etc). At least this is with quickpic.
So they really get jumbled up, especially with 100+ in there(1, 10,100,11,12). And the point of this segment of the app is to share the most recent image.
i also dont want to just use the currentsystem time, because a ton of numbers is too confusing if they want to find a different one.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Let's try:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]String path = Utils.saveBitmap(bitmap, dir, baseName);[/COLOR] //replace Utils by your class name
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:0000000");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, smsUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.[COLOR="Red"]fromFile(path)[/COLOR]);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Today");
[COLOR="Red"]intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);[/COLOR]
startActivity(intent);

Took awhile to get Eclipse to accept it, but now I get

Starting to think I should just dump the whole imageview thing.
i need to figure out if i can save to SD how I am doing, and ALSO save to a cache (and overwrite other ones, so only one image persists there)

W/ActivityManager( 181): Force finishing activity com.MYAPP/.Screenshots
W/WindowManager( 181)
Starting to think I should just dump the whole imageview thing.
i need to figure out if i can save to SD how I am doing, and ALSO save to a cache (and overwrite other ones, so only one image persists there)

Post your code. We cannot help you if you just say "I changed this line."
It is not getFile but fromFile.

HaHa I know, im not trying to throw puzzles out at people randomly.
But the errors in the log were from those new lines(in red)
the string path
and fromFile path ones
I may be getting somewhere with this though, i found a little section on stackoverflow that i hadn't seen in the other 30 questions about images or screenshots. :fingers-crossed:
Plus i glad I always have about 5 other projects on can work on when I get stuck.

The problem occurs in the saveBitmap method. For that reason the path is null and then a NPE is thrown. Check your code to save the bitmap.

Camera Preview

Im trying to start a simple app and i need to display on a SurfaceView the preview of the cam as soon as the App start.
i added the permission to the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
and my code:
Code:
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
public class MainActivity extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
public Camera camera = null;
public MainActivity(Context context) {
super(context);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
mHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera = Camera.open();
try{
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch(Exception e){
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
params.setPreviewSize(width,height);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera = null;
}
}
Ive looked for many tutorial and all technically do the same or smiliart stuff. But the app crashes. I cant find a solution

On Eclipse i know how to show the windows of the LogCat, but cant really find it here on Android Studio.
Im a bit newby about this sorry, coming from PHP using just Notepad.
Guess i found it, added log cat
I saw some tutorial like this, im not sure why it doesnt start.
Is it for te onCreate method missing? but i saw that for other works anyway like this
Btw i've also triyed an other way, but stills give me errors. i could upload that one too, different logcat.
Hope one of the two could be solved

In Android you normally do not use the constructor of an Activity for anything.
Use the onCreate method instead.
EDIT: The log says that the constructor must be empty.

I thought about that (even if i saw video tutorial doing it) so i tried wht onCreate method and now it seams to give problem with the setParameters?
Ive uploaded the new code and logcats before

Ah. Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3890381/camera-setparameters-failed-in-android

i tryed that at th beggin, and didnt work, in fact i tried it again and still give me the same error apparently

While I'm still learning myself, it looks like you are getting a failed camera permission. And then it tries to pass in an invalid parameter to the camera.

But cant understand which one and how should i do. it ryed the 2 ways everybody does

What phone are you trying this on? Have you tried it in an emulator?

After getting home and I was able to try your second piece of code. It looks like it is a problem with <CODE>params.setPreviewSize(arg2, arg3);</CODE>, it doesn't like the width and height arguments. I found THIS(second answer). and after plugging it into your code it was working for me. If you like I can show you the modified code, altho its real easy to plug in.

i tryed his first example and finally i get his "distoted" image. When i'll have time ill try the rets thnk u very much
ill try this:
Code:
Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height, Camera.Parameters parameters) {
Camera.Size result=null;
float dr = Float.MAX_VALUE;
float ratio = (float)width/(float)height;
for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {
float r = (float)size.width/(float)size.height;
if( Math.abs(r - ratio) < dr && size.width <= width && size.height <= height ) {
dr = Math.abs(r - ratio);
result = size;
}
}
return result;
}
Code:
ublic void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and begin
// the preview.
if (isPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Size> sizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Size optimalSize = getBestPreviewSize( w, h, parameters);
parameters.setPreviewSize(optimalSize.width, optimalSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.startPreview();
isPreviewRunning =true;
}
im not sure abot the 3rd parameter of the getBestPreviewSize method which one is it. Like this is still distorted

Yeah, I could never fix the distortion back when I was trying my camera app. But I think I will tinker with it again. Keep this updated if you find anything, I will also.

This logcat line is interesting:
Code:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.croccio.bicimi4social.fragment.FragmentGestionePostazioniElenco cannot be cast to android.app.Fragment
I can think of two solutions:
1) Make sure your Fragment is a android.support.v4.app.Fragment and not a regular Fragment.
You'll have to add
Code:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
to the FragmentGestionePostazioni file.
2) Try making your main Activity a FragmentActivity - change 'extends Activity' to 'extends FragmentActivity'
Hope that helps!

[Q] what the correct way to use ShowcaseView?

when I try to use ShowcaseView I get error
Code:
@override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
final ImageButton saveButton = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.button_Save);
ViewTarget viewTarget = new ViewTarget(saveButton);
showcaseView = new ShowcaseView.Builder(getActivity())
.setTarget(viewTarget)
.setContentTitle("Reset Button")
.setContentText("This will erase all the data in the table except the line that in progress")
.build();
}
when I tried to do the same thing in my fragmentactivity and didn't work, but when I did the same thing but took a view that declared in the fragmentactivity and not in the fragment it worked.

Problem trying to get the camera function and selecting a image from gallery to work?

Hi still new to android, tried the following tutorial in the youtube link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LCnoVqQ6N4 but I couldn't get the app to work as I am unable to execute the camera on my physical phone where it kept giving me this popup "Something went Wrong while taking photos" when I press the camera imageview. And when I am at the gallery choosing a photo it will cause the app to suddenly stop.
Thus, I downloaded the author's source code here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2rvGRbu0A83cjBBZElhdGp5OHM/view but i also encounter the same issues stated above.
Tried adding the permission for camera,read,write external storage in the androidmanifest without any luck of solving it.
Error Log after i click on a image in the gallery:

if you are testing on a device running android marshmallow and above you should also write code to request the android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission at runtime.
Take a look at the following link for android developers https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

Oh i see but I've read the documentation but still at a lost as to how to implement the codes from the documentation into the source code in the link above, as this is my first android development experience was feeling rather lost.

If you are below MM you just need to add the permission to the manifest.
Code:
<manifest>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
</manifest>
If you are on MM or higher you need to add the permission the manifest and then ask for it at runtime.
Code:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, CALLBACK_ID);
}
You will also need to handle the result of that on your activity:
Code:
@Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == CALLBACK_ID) {
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Granted
} else {
// Not granted
}
}
}
