Ghost capture in camera

We will make an app for entertainment, when user open phone camera, a ghost or any special thing you want appear. Take picture and save internal storage.

This is special creature we use.

Create a new project, in file xml we use FrameLayout to overlap two imageViews.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

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

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"      

    android:orientation="vertical" >

   

    <FrameLayout

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:id="@+id/l" >

        <ImageView

            android:id="@+id/image"

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="400dp"

            android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

        <ImageView

            android:id="@+id/image2"

            android:layout_width="100dp"

            android:layout_height="138dp"

            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"

            android:layout_gravity="center"

            android:contentDescription="@null" />

    </FrameLayout>

     <LinearLayout

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"

        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" >

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/bu1"

            android:layout_width="80dp"

            android:layout_height="40dp"          

            android:background="@drawable/back2"

            android:text="Take picture"

            android:textColor="#0000cd"

            android:textSize="2mm" />

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/bu2"

            android:layout_width="80dp"

            android:layout_height="40dp"

            android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"

            android:background="@drawable/back2"

            android:text="Save"

            android:textColor="#0000cd"

            android:textSize="14sp" />

    </LinearLayout>   

</LinearLayout>

File back2.xml to make round corner button like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

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

 <item android:state_pressed="true" >

     <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >

     <corners android:radius="20dip" />

     <stroke android:width="0.5dip" android:color="#6699cc" />

     <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#66ff00" android:endColor="#bcd4e6"  />           

     </shape>

 </item>

<item android:state_focused="true">

   <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >

   <corners android:radius="20dip" />

    <stroke android:width="0.5dip" android:color="#6699cc" />

    <solid android:color="#afeeee"/>      

     </shape>

 </item> 

<item >

  <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >

  <corners android:radius="20dip" />

  <stroke android:width="0.5dip" android:color="#6699cc" />

 <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#E6E6FA" android:endColor="#e6e8fa" />           

 </shape>

 </item>

</selector>

In Main class, declare variables.

Button b1,b2;

ImageView im,im2;

File des;

FrameLayout layout; 

Add address.

b1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bu1);

b2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bu2);

layout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.l);                      

im = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);

im2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image2);       

des = new File(Environment

                     .getExternalStorageDirectory(), "image.jpg");

In button Take picture we turn camera on and startActivityForResult to wait for picture result.

try {

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,

Uri.fromFile(des));

startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

//Handle if no application exists

}        

In Override command, we receive picture, set to imageView.

Copy to above last close bracket.

@Override

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,

            int resultCode, Intent data) {

        if(requestCode == 1

                && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {

            try {

                FileInputStream in =

                        new FileInputStream(des);

                BitmapFactory.Options options =

                        new BitmapFactory.Options();

                options.inSampleSize = 10;

              Bitmap userImage = BitmapFactory

                        .decodeStream(in, null, options);

                im.setImageBitmap(userImage);

                im2.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ghost);

            } catch (Exception e) {

                e.printStackTrace();

            }           

        }

}

To save picture, create new class name save,  add this to Androidmanifest.

<activity

android:name="com.bai.baidau.save"

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog.NoActionBar"

android:screenOrientation="portrait">

</activity>

In class code, we declare EditText, Button, in button OK, we check Edittext, if no character, show Toast, else, send String picture name to Main class.

String name = e.getText().toString();

if (ten == null || name.trim().equals("")) {

Toast.makeText(luu.this, "Enter picture name!",

                                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}

else {

    

     Intent in = getIntent();

     Bundle bun = new Bundle();

     bun.putString("iz", name);

     in.putExtras(bun);

     setResult(4, in);

     finish();

}

In Cancel button, we quit class by command finish().

Back to class Main, button Save picture, we open class save, wait for picture send back.

Intent in=new Intent(getBaseContext(),save.class);           

startActivityForResult(in, 1);

In Override, add these lines.

if(resultCode == 4){

     Bundle bun = data.getExtras();

       String ve = bun.getString("iz");

         String picname=ve+".jpg";

   Toast.makeText(image.this, "Picture save!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

      File em =  new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(

                    Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),picname);

            layout.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

         layout.setDrawingCacheQuality(LinearLayout.DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_HIGH);

      layout.buildDrawingCache();

     Bitmap b = layout.getDrawingCache();

             try {

            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(em);

            b.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);

            fos.flush();

            fos.close();

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

          layout.destroyDrawingCache();

        }

We get picture, show infrom saved, save to Pictures Directory of phone, destroy layout to prevent coincide when user take new picture.

Last, add permission in to file AndoidManifest.

<uses-permission

        android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

The picture we get will look like this.
