Issue 1480 - android - Intent android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE returns an image with ... - 0 views

  • On an HTC Hero, this EXTRA_OUTPUT doesn't even work. It doesn't put your picture in the file you specify, but it hands it to you thru a Mediastore uri. Apparently, the only way to get a full size picture is to do all camera handling in your app instead of using the IMAGE_CAPTURE intent.
  • I think Google have missed a trick on this one. They have defined standard intents for media capture, but not specified standard responses (ie. the "data" parameter in the onActivityResult Activity callback method). Other Android vendors (e.g. HTC Hero) have created their own Camera applications that handle the standard IMAGE_CAPTURE intent, but return different data & have different ways to save/return the image information. All I want is to be able to fire a IMAGE_CAPTURE intent from my own app, and get back a Uri reference to the captured image. Simple. I have no requirement to further manipulate the image .. I just need the Uri to store in my app's database for future reference.

How QR Codes Can Grow Your Business | Social Media Examiner - 1 views

  • Consumers want immediate access to what’s relevant and QR codes are being used to make that possible.
  • Bar codes are linear one-dimensional codes and can only hold up to 20 numerical digits, whereas QR codes are two-dimensional (2D) matrix barcodes that can hold thousands of alphanumeric characters of information. Their ability to hold more information and their ease of use makes them practical for small businesses.
  • When you scan or read a QR code with your iPhone, Android or other camera-enabled Smartphone, you can link to digital content on the web; activate a number of phone functions including email, IM and SMS; and connect the mobile device to a web browser.

  • There are other software companies that have created 2D codes that work much like QR codes, with Microsoft being the most notable.  Microsoft developed their own proprietary software to create codes known as MS tags.  Unlike QR codes, which can be read by a number of different readers, MS tags can only be read by the Microsoft Tag Reader.
  • Calls to Action – After building a community, the next logical step is to mobilize them to take action.   What are you trying to accomplish?  You can alternate special offers by simply linking your QR codes to new landing pages, and you can combine then with email opt-ins to build your list.
  • SEO and SMO – Earlier this month I wrote an article on social graphs where I discuss how web objects such as images, music clips, and videos add valuable content to your social graph.  QR codes enhance both your search engine and social media optimization.  Now you can increase traffic to those searchable objects to further optimize them by encouraging more sharing.
  • Social Proof – To help build a community offline, it can be helpful to use your vibrant online communities as social proof of your influence and expertise.  As one example, you can use QR codes to link to specific blog posts that have earned an abundance of activity.
