## Simple android camera to capture and get bitmaps in three simple steps:

## 1. Build Camera

```java

// Create global camera reference in an activity or fragment

Camera camera;

// Build the camera   

camera = new Camera.Builder()

                .resetToCorrectOrientation(true)// it will rotate the camera bitmap to the correct orientation from meta data

                .setTakePhotoRequestCode(1)

                .setDirectory("pics")

                .setName("ali_" + System.currentTimeMillis())

                .setImageFormat(Camera.IMAGE_JPEG)

                .setCompression(75)

                .setImageHeight(1000)// it will try to achieve this height as close as possible maintaining the aspect ratio; 

                .build(this);

```

## 2. Capture Image

```java

// Call the camera takePicture method to open the existing camera             

        try {

            camera.takePicture();

        }catch (Exception e){

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

```

## 3. Get bitmap and saved image path

```java

// Get the bitmap and image path onActivityResult of an activity or fragment

    @Override

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if(requestCode == Camera.REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO){

            Bitmap bitmap = camera.getCameraBitmap();

            if(bitmap != null) {

                picFrame.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

            }else{

                Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(),"Picture not taken!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }

        }

    }   

```

```java

// The bitmap is saved in the app's folder

//  If the saved bitmap is not required use following code

    @Override

    protected void onDestroy() {

        super.onDestroy();

        camera.deleteImage();

    }

```
