How to Take Photo from Camera and Gallery in Android
Step 1. Create an Activity like below
Step 4. create provider_paths xml file under xml folder path should be like this res/xml/provider_path.xml
Step 1. Create an Activity like below
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {Step 2. XML Layout for the Activity activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Step 3. Add the following code in AndroidManifest.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="org.pratap.cameraexample.MainActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img_photo"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:background="#c9c9c9"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="24dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_capture_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Capture Image" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_galley_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Galley Image" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
Step 4. create provider_paths xml file under xml folder path should be like this res/xml/provider_path.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Result Take Photo from Camera and Gallery in Android
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Step 5. Some useful methods to convert Files to ByteArray or Base64 Encoded String
public static String getEncodedString(String filePath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
String encodedDocument = "";
File file = new File(filePath);
byte[] binaryFile = new byte[(int) file.length()];
InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
fis.read(binaryFile);
fis.close();
encodedDocument = Base64.encodeToString(binaryFile,
Base64.DEFAULT);
return encodedDocument;
}
public static byte[] getFileByteArray(String filePath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
File file = new File(filePath);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) file.length()];
try {
for (int readNum; (readNum = fis.read(buf)) != -1; ) {
bos.write(buf, 0, readNum);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.d("error", "error");
}
byte[] imagebytes = bos.toByteArray();
return imagebytes;
}
