How to reduce the size of camera picture while saving, using the camera action intent?

Question

How to reduce the size of camera picture while saving, using the camera action intent.

I was trying to use MediaStore.EXTRA_SIZE_LIMIT in putExtra of the camera action as below :

Intent captureintent =  new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);  
captureintent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
captureintent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 0);
captureintent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION, 0);
captureintent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SIZE_LIMIT, The Value to be Kept);

But this doesn't seem to work.

What is the efficient way to do so?

This is not possible on Android. ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE can only be used with MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, not the other three extras.

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html.
