Issue 1480 - android - Intent android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE returns an image with very low resolution - Project Hosting on Google Code - 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.
