The Android System file picker opens.\n* (3) Click the Hamburger menu\n* (4) The Provider View opens\n* (5) In the Provider View choose \"Camera Folder\"\n* (6) The Camera picker opens.From the available Camera apps choose \"Open Camera\" \n* (Please note that in Android 11 and above the camera picker has been removed and therefore the default camera app will automatically open)\n* (7) Take a photo with \"Open Camera\" and choose \"OK\" \n* (8) You will be back again in \"Simple Draw\" with the photo you have just taken ready for processing.    \n\n## Requirements:\n\n* Android-4.4 (api 19) or later with camera hardware.\n* At least one Camera app must be installed (i.e. [Open Camera](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera))\n* Required Permissions:  \n  * CAMERA needed to ask a camera app to take a photo\n  * WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to save the photo to a file\n\n## Technical details\n\n* \"Camera Folder\" plugs into the Android-System-File-Chooser that is used by many Android apps.\n* It Translates from ACTION_GET_CONTENT.to MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE\n \n### How to compile\n\nIn the project root execute on the commandline\n\n       ./gradlew assemble test\n \n \n## Privacy\n\nNo adds, no usertracking, no internet connection, free open source, available on f-droid\n\n\n-----\n\n## Donations: \n\nIf you like this app please consider to donating to https://f-droid.org/donate .\n\nSince android-developping is a hobby (and an education tool) i donot want any \nmoney for my apps so donation should go to projects i benefit from.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fk3b%2Fcamerafolder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fk3b%2Fcamerafolder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fk3b%2Fcamerafolder/lists"}
