Can I call camera using Intent?

Question

Can I call camera using Intent, if yes then what is the difference between intent and Camera? cam = Camera.open(); I write above code but I get an error. How can I solve this error?

Answer 1

Of course yes.

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST); 

You will get data onActivityResult

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 
        if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) { 
            Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
            imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
        } 

add the following feature in the Manifest.

**<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/>**
