Having the user take a photo with the camera

[LIFE_AI]

camera component launch external camera

[BeginnerProgrammer]

Can you show me an example how to start it?
Among the components, there is no option such as launch the camera, there is only take a photo.

[LIFE_AI]

just try it in companion ull know

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I will try and write, thank you

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I’m getting an error like this

my blocks

[LIFE_AI]

Camera - Error 201, the camera did not return an image / missing Pictures folder

To avoid that the following error message occurs with the Camera component: "Error 201, the camera did not return an image” or you don’t get an OK button after taking a picture, because the folder “Pictures” does not exist (has been deleted by you or your users), use these blocks: [grafik] Note: Since Android 5, this folder is no longer automatically created by the camera component. The folder is still created with Android 4.3. @Kodular I think this folder should be created automatically …

You can find a workaround for the camera 201 bug here

Didn’t work

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I don’t have the blocks in the picture

[Taifun]

What happens if you try the apk provided there?

Error 201 After Update 1.5.5 (Camera did not return an Image)

Try tis one: FileScopeCamera.apk (6.9 MB) [grafik]

After the SDK33 release you most probably additionally need READ_MEDIA_IMAGES permission

When it says it’s not working, it turns on the camera and takes the picture, but it doesn’t transfer the picture.

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I asked for the permission you mentioned when pressing the button, but it still didn’t work in Companion (I can’t compile the apk, it gives an error)

[Taifun]

It looks like the companion still does not have the new permissions… Kodular's position in not meeting the demands - #51 by Taifun

You will have to build the app to test therefore

Btw. What about providing an updated screenshot of your relevant blocks?

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I removed the apk and it still doesn’t work. This time it doesn’t turn on the camera either. Even if there was no camera permission beforehand, it asked for permission when I pressed the button. It doesn’t want that anymore either, after doing what you said.

[Taifun]

@BeginnerProgrammer

I removed the apk

???

You did not follow the mentioned workaround

Also you ask for permissions and then try to take a picture immediately without having received the permission

Use the TakePicture method somewhere else, for example in a button click event

[BeginnerProgrammer]

Sorry, translation error, it translated as I removed the apk, I meant I tested it with the apk.

[BeginnerProgrammer]

I’m testing it right now

[BeginnerProgrammer]

Hey Taifun, now that I think about it, I already want access to all media when the screen is activated. It also asks for camera access when I press the button. Then the problem is caused by something else.

[BeginnerProgrammer]

Hey, I found it. First of all, I select a picture for Picture 2 from the gallery, then I adjust the first picture I took with the camera, it adjusts, there is no problem, But instead of the other photos I took, he puts the first photo

[Taifun]

@BeginnerProgrammer

Hey, I found it

Great
However I did not understand your explanations
