Hi All,

I am using the following code to activate the internal camera app:

B4X:
Dim camintent As Intent 
camintent.Initialize("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE","")
StartActivity(camintent)

This is working fine but I have two problems.

1. What is the event that is called when the camera returns

2. How do I get the image that was taken? I understand I can add the following code to tell the intent where to store the photo

B4X:
camintent.PutExtra("output", common.ParseUri("file://" & File.Combine(Directory, PictureName)))

but I would like to simply pick up the photo from the default DCIM folder.

Thank you for looking.
