Intent for New Photo

[sivaprakash]

Hi

I want to receive a broadcast message whenever a new photo is taken. I have tried with the following intent filter in the configuration but none of them captured the intent. Can you please tell me what intent I have to capture.

<receiver android:name=".BroadReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.android.camera.NEW_PICTURE"></action>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Welcome to AF!

Do you have the camera permission?

Can you post the BroadReceiver class?

Hi


Thanks !! Here is the BroadReceiver class

public class BroadReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
        
        
        Toast.makeText(context, "It's working!", 10).show();
        Log.d("BroadReceiver", "Received ..... ");
        
        context.startService(new Intent (context, BgService.class));
        
        
    }

}

Permission in Manifest file:-

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"></uses-permission>

I got this worked,

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.android.camera.NEW_PICTURE"/>
                <data android:mimeType="image/*"/>
            </intent-filter>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"></uses-permission>
