Launch native camera app with option to capture either video or image

Question

I've written an app before where I open the native camera app to capture an image like this:

Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

Or, like this for capturing video:

Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);

But is there a way to open the native camera app with the option to capture either video or an image? I'd like to open to the image given below, where the user can swipe to access the side-menu and change their input type.

I've tried searching, but no results have come up yet. I'm not sure if there is a way to do this without writing a custom camera implementation, which I'd like to avoid for now.

If this is possible, how can I do it? And how could I go about recognizing what media type the user has chosen once the capture is complete (in onActivityResult, probably)?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Currently As specified by you there are 2 intents for capturing image and video i.e. MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE & MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURElink.

For intially I was also thinking startActivityForResult (Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options), Here options param was used to give the extras for the external applications but we can only specify some animations not the values as specified link1 & link2.

Solution

I would rather suggest you to go for the custom app with options as you like rather than the restrictions given by the existing camera app.
