  • On an HTC Hero, this EXTRA_OUTPUT doesn't even work. It doesn't put your picture in the file you specify, but it hands it to you thru a Mediastore uri. Apparently, the only way to get a full size picture is to do all camera handling in your app instead of using the IMAGE_CAPTURE intent.
  • I think Google have missed a trick on this one. They have defined standard intents  for media capture, but not specified standard responses (ie. the "data" parameter in  the onActivityResult Activity callback method). Other Android vendors (e.g. HTC  Hero) have created their own Camera applications that handle the standard  IMAGE_CAPTURE intent, but return different data & have different ways to save/return  the image information. All I want is to be able to fire a IMAGE_CAPTURE intent from  my own app, and get back a Uri reference to the captured image. Simple. I have no  requirement to further manipulate the image .. I just need the Uri to store in my  app's database for future reference.
