cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri );
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent,TAKE_PHOTO_CODE );
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == TAKE_PHOTO_CODE) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");

You have created a new file. (blank)
And then started a camera intent.
But what you have not done, is told the camera intent where to save the image.
Thus, leaving you with a blank file.
File file= new File (path,"spaj_foto.png");
outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri );
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent,TAKE_PHOTO_CODE );
Note, you do Not need to create the file, android camera intent will do that for you.
What you do need to do is pass the extra, so the intent knows where to save.
(you do still need to create the directory)

Android App crashes right on start

I have an app that's supposed to get some string from a server depending on the webpage, and it crashes every time I run it. I don't understand how to even debug it, and I've tried numerous changes. It started crashing ever since I messed with the GUI, and added the ability to switch views if that provides any sort of help.
Here is the code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements TextToSpeech.OnInitListener, OnClickListener{
private WebView mWebview;
EditText addressBar;
String currentWebpage = "http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/07/20137113200544375.html";
LinearLayout viewGroup = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearview);

viewGroup.addView(View.inflate(this, R.layout.activity_main, null));
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.menu.main);
addressBar = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.addressBar);
addressBar.setText(currentWebpage);
mWebview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enables javascript
mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
System.out.println("Loading Webpage...");
mWebview.loadUrl(currentWebpage);
}
public void speakOut(String text) {
TextToSpeech tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
System.out.println("Speaking");
if(tts.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.ENGLISH) != -1){
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
}
public int speakFull(String text){
switchToRead();
String[] sentences = text.split("\n|\\.(?!\\d)|(?<!\\d)\\."); // Regex that splits the body of text into the sentences of that body which are stored in a String array.

Move your view initialization inside onCreate after setContentView

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);
LinearLayout viewGroup = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearview);

App using camera flash as a torch using Eclipse not working

I have been working on an app to use a phone's/tablet's camera flash as a flashlight. Everything seemed to be working fine but when I tested it on my Droid Bionic running Android 4.1.2, the app failed to turn on the flash even though it said it did. Here is the java code I used:
package com.example.flash;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.hardware.Camera.Parameters;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private boolean isFlashOn = false;
private Camera camera;
private Button button;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonFlashlight);
Context context = this;
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
if(!pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
Log.e("err", "Device has no camera!");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Your device doesn't have camera!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
camera = Camera.open();
final Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
if (isFlashOn) {
Log.i("info", "torch is turned off!");
p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
camera.setParameters(p);
isFlashOn = false;
button.setText("Tap to turn flashlight on.");
}
else {
Log.i("info", "torch is turned on!");
p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
camera.setParameters(p);
isFlashOn = true;
button.setText("Tap to turn flashlight off.");
}
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (camera != null) {
camera.release();
}
}}
Is this code correct or did I miss something?

UPDATE
I think the key is you are running Android 4.1.2. Since Android 4.0, if you want to use the Camera Device, even if you only want to use the flash, you are forced to use a SurfaceView.
In the previous answer (below), I gave you a link to a Torch app which uses SurfaceView. Try it or adapt it to your code.
PREVIOUS ANSWER:
As stated in many other cases (like this one), you may be facing a Device-Specific issue that is quite common in the Android world.
Although getSupportedFlashModes() may return FLASH_MODE_TORCH on nearly every device, many of them don't actually support it.
Anyway, you could try these:
Use camera.startPreview(); after camera = Camera.open();
Try setting FLASH_MODE_OFF initially (before camera.startPreview();).
Check if this Torch app works in your device. In case it does, you have the source code to compare it to yours.
Download a Torch app from the Play Store to test if it's a device issue or not.
Post the issue in a Droid Bionic support forum.
UPDATE: I would say the final keyword is a problem in your code. Try changing it to:
//camera = Camera.open();
//final Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
if (isFlashOn) {
Log.i("info", "torch is turned off!");
cam.stopPreview();
cam.release();
isFlashOn = false;
button.setText("Tap to turn flashlight on.");
}
else {
Log.i("info", "torch is turned on!");
camera = Camera.open();
Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
camera.setParameters(p);
camera.startPreview();
p.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
camera.setParameters(p);
isFlashOn = true;
button.setText("Tap to turn flashlight off.");
}
}
});

user the permission "android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" in the manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Hiding Keyboard on Android crashes app

When I try to run this line in order to hide the keyboard (I get the InputMethodManager):
this.context = context;
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); //this line crashes the app
What should I do to fix it?
(I am running it from a fragment by the way)

Full on click method:
public void onClick(View v) {
text1.setText(editText1.getText().toString());
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText1.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

It would appear context is null - you show the line this.context = context, and if the right hand side context is not a variable local to that method you're doing nothing. I think what you may be looking for is context = getApplicationContext()

Dont forget to use try catch blog because in case when your keyboard not open and if you use key key board hide code app crashed
User below code in Fragment
try {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
}

Your getting a StrictMode violation. This means that you are doing something blocking on the UI Thread. Hence the reason for
android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException
From the rest of your LOG it appears your performing a web request.
Make sure that HTTP request is wrapped in an AsyncTask (or something similar)

It seems like you are trying to do your login and registration on the main Thread. First of all this is bad practice, and it can't be done on recent API levels.
All you need to do is make your network connections in a separate thread, be it an AsyncTask or just a plain old Thread()
as an example :
use this
public void login()
{
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//your network connection goes here
}
}).start();
}
instead of :
public void login()
{
//your network connection goes here
}

Try to check the same in a mobile with internet connectivity.
The logcat also displays that the emulator doesnt has a GPS connectivity.
