Simple Media Player in Android

I am trying to create a media player without MediaPlayer class, just a very basic VideoView which selects a file from device and plays it. But I am receiving an error
Can't play this video.
Here's my code:
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class PlayerActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
VideoView videoPlayer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
videoPlayer = findViewById(R.id.videoView);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 7);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (requestCode) {
case 7:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String PathHolder = data.getData().getPath();
Toast.makeText(this, PathHolder, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
videoPlayer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(PathHolder));
videoPlayer.requestFocus();
videoPlayer.start();
}
}
}
}
XML file:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<VideoView
android:id="#+id/videoView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="318dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="716dp" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
This is what logcat shows (i guess this contains the error):

I am not used to content provider.Please help.

I didn't understand what was the problem.But it was solved when I changed onActivityResult to
switch (requestCode) {
case 7:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
videoPlayer.setVideoURI(data.getData());
videoPlayer.requestFocus();
videoPlayer.start();
}
}

Try to set orientation with object of video player
case 7:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String PathHolder = data.getData().getPath();
Toast.makeText(this, PathHolder, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
videoPlayer.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
videoPlayer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(PathHolder));
videoPlayer.requestFocus();
videoPlayer.start();
}

I've trying to check on gotev github, but I found kotlin tutorial only.
how to use gotev image upload in my Upload.java or solving my problem?

change the dependency to newer version implementation 'net.gotev:uploadservice:3.4'
and then add NameSpace
`public class Initializer extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// setup the broadcast action namespace string which will
// be used to notify upload status.
// Gradle automatically generates proper variable as below.
UploadService.NAMESPACE = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID;
// Or, you can define it manually.
UploadService.NAMESPACE = "com.example.yourapp";
}
}`
In Manifest application tag add
android:name=".Initializer"

Photo by Camera Upload Exception (Firebase Storage)

I'm trying to upload an image taken by the camera in an android application to Firebase storage. The problem is that after I take the picture, in the confirmation activity, I pressed the confirm button and it says that "Unfortunately the application stopped".
This is the image when I press the check button, and the app crashes...
This is my code, the application has the option to upload pictures using the gallery and the camera.

I don't know what to do, it would be great if you guys to help me :)
Thank you!

The exception occurs because the Uri in onActivityResult() is null:
Uri uri = data.getData();
The documentation for capturing a camera image explains:
The Android Camera application saves a full-size photo if you give it
a file to save into. You must provide a fully qualified file name
where the camera app should save the photo.
Follow the example in the documentation to create a file Uri and add it to the intent for the camera app.

Please try this
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, GALLERY_INTENT);

if(requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Bitmap mImageUri = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
select.setImageBitmap(mImageUri);
}

Image disappears from ImageView in Android App

I am absolutely new to Android as well as Java (only some basic knowledge). I am trying to develop a simple app as per a youtube video. In this app, I have a button which is clickable and call the method launchCamera(). The image captured by the camera has to be displayed in the ImageView.
PROBLEM: I installed the .apk file in my mobile. When I click the "Take Photo" button, my camera starts. When I capture a image from my camera and save it, that image gets displayed in the ImageView only for a second (even less then a second). How can I keep that photo in the ImageView till the user does not press the "Take Photo" button again?
UPDATE: With the same code, I just noticed something strange. Mostly the image captured while holding the phone vertically rotates itself inside the ImageView and disappears. But sometimes it stays in the ImageView vertically and doesn't get disappeared till the "Take Photo" button is pressed again (Desired case).
My Code:
package com.siddexample.buttonimage;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.content.pm.PackageInfo;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class ButtonImageMainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
ImageView siddImageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_button_image_main);
Button siddButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.siddButton);
siddImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.siddImageView);
}//////-------------///////////////
public void launchCamera(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
//Take a picture by your intent
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
siddImageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}
}

Try using this tutorial here , as follows:
Taking a picture:
private void captureImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
Receiving the picture:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// if the result is capturing Image
if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// successfully captured the image
// display it in image view
previewCapturedImage();
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled Image capture
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled image capture", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to capture image
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Failed to capture image", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
and displaying the picture:
/*
* Display image from a path to ImageView
*/
private void previewCapturedImage() {
try {
// hide video preview
videoPreview.setVisibility(View.GONE);
imgPreview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
// bimatp factory
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// downsizing image as it throws OutOfMemory Exception for larger
// images
options.inSampleSize = 8;
final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.getPath(),
options);
imgPreview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
As #stkent said, maybe the onActivityResult is called twice.

i have create an android application that will capture picture and save in sdcard folder,now i want to save the image with a custom name.
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888;
private ImageView imageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
this.imageView = (ImageView) this.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Button photoButton = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
photoButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(
android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.getPath());
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, "new-photo-name.jpg");
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), photo,
null, null);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
}
}
here is the code which i have used for capturing the image and save them in the sd card folder,please help me to save the image with a specific name for eg:android.jpeg

File outFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "myname.jpeg");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
you would also need to add Permission in Android Manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
the snippet will save the content of photo inside /sdcard with the name "myname.jpeg"

You need to put fileName as Intent Extras -
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, "android.jpg");

this article maybe useful, try it.
& this as well, the only different that he used the date as a default name.
change it.
It usually works :)
