Java – How do I access full-size images taken by the camera from Android Intent?

The onclick listener for my button is as follows:

    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
         Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
         startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
      }

});

The result is processed as follows:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
      if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
          Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

ImageView Preview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.PreviewImage1);
          Preview.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
          Preview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

}
   }
}

I

can use thumbnails, but how do I access the full image for some work? I want to avoid saving files if possible.

Here’s a working example: http://achorniy.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/howto-launch-android-camera-using-intents/

You can’t get a full-size image without saving to a file. This is also not a good idea, because having such a large bitmap in memory can quickly cause an out-of-memory exception.
