How to create an android camera using intents - Part 1
For those of you new to android or programming I recommend the new Kotlin Camera Intent series • kotlin camera intent which now supersedes this series.
But for those of you experienced in Java by all means do this series.
Please note that I don't respond to questions on the youtube channel but for those that require help I provide paid consultancy services here https://www.codementor.io/mobapptuts
This android camera intent tutorial is part 1 of a six part series. It covers creating an android project from scratch using android studio.
There will be no coding in this tutorial, it will be introducing you to the structure of an android project.
The application created in part one of the video tutorial is the default hello world application.
In this tutorial we will cover:
Relative layouts.
Introduce the AndroidManifest file.
Talk about Packages, Applications, Activities and IntentFilters.
Discuss the source code of the activity.
Run the application on device.
Introduce the debug app.
Walk through the code with the debugger.
This tutorial series is intended for beginners to android who have had some programming experience ideally with an object orientated language such as java or C++ for you will be exposed to writing android java code syntax.
This tutorial series does not use the android camera api's but calls one of the android camera applications via intents to capture it's image.
Android studio (1.2.1.1) is the editor of choice (IDE) for this tutorial series.
This tutorial will expose viewers to the android concepts of:
Android studio project.
Android manifest, layout and source files.
Android layout & views.
Activities.
Intents, actions and categories.
This tutorial series is the first of what I expect to be many so I encourage comments and feedback to improve the quality and viewing experience.
