A Ridiculously Simple BluePotion Camera Library to help you achieve your dreams...

Gem Version Don't Shia Way

Usage ("Nothing is impossible")

Take a Photo

  # Fire off a photo taking request
  # Returns true if camera intent is presented to the user.
  # Depends on camera existence (YesYouCam.camera_exists?)
  YesYouCam.capture_photo

On Take a Photo Completion - Get Photo

  # called in BluePotion when the photo has been taken (or any activity is completed actually)
  # If you're not using a PMActivity you should capture the onActivityResult method.
  def activity_result(request_code, result_code, data)
    # Verify this activity was for us!
    if (request_code == YesYouCam::CAPTURE_IMAGE_RC)
      if (result_code == YesYouCam::OK) # OR Android::App::Activity::RESULT_OK
        # Photo success!
        mp "Full sized photo located at #{YesYouCam.photo_path}"
        # now you can do find!(:some_image_view).imageBitmap = YesYouCam.bmp_data
      else
        # Photo failed or was cancelled
        app.toast "No Photo"
      end
    end
  end

Want a PNG?

  # Did you need a PNG instead of a JPG?
  YesYouCam.photo_path # Some JPG path
  YesYouCam.pic_to_png
  YesYouCam.photo_path # Some new PNG path

Need the photo discoverable by Photo Libraries and other Apps?

  # Run this and the current photo (YesYouCam.photo_path) will be
  # added to the user's Photo Gallery, and accessible by all apps.
  YesYouCam.add_to_gallery

Let the user select a photo from their library?

  # Fire off a photo choose request
  YesYouCam.choose_photo

        mp "Full sized photo located at #{YesYouCam.photo_path}"
        find!(:some_image_view).imageBitmap = YesYouCam.bmp_data
      else
        # Photo failed or was cancelled
        app.toast "No Photo"
      end
    elsif request_code == YesYouCam::CHOOSE_IMAGE_RC
      # the chosen photo
      selected_uri = data.getData
      # Did you want the path?
      photo_path = YesYouCam.pic_path_from_uri(selected_uri)
      # Did you want the BMP data?
      bmp_data = YesYouCam.bmp_data(photo_path)
      # Nope, the uri is fine...
      find!(:some_image_view).imageURI = selected_uri
    end
  end

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

$ bundle

Now make sure your Rakefile has camera permissions and features needed:

# This gem will try to add permissions, but it's best that you assure they are set!
app.permissions += [:write_external_storage]
# This gem will add this feature, but it's safest for you to also set it!
app.features = ["android.hardware.camera"]
