MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE not recognized

Question

I'm having trouble with the resource on android developers for the camera, here is my code:

// create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);

// create a file to save the image
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);

The problem is 'MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE' which says that it can not be resolved to a variable. I got mediastore, camera and URI imported into my project. Thanks in advance!

Solution 1

Try importing android.provider.MediaStore.Files.FileColumns and change MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE to FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE.

If you are using the sample code from Android developers blog be sure to check the section about saving media files, there you have the constants created to handle that.
