Overview

Camera Folder: "Take a Photo from Camera" everywhere where you can open a photo file

When "Camera Folder" is installed, any Android app that can open jpg files can also take a photo from camera.

Note that "Camera Folder" has no user interface and no start icon of its own.

The app is super tiny: 0.16 MB

Get it on F-Droid

Example usecase:

From the drawing app Simple Draw we will "open" a photo from the Open Camera app.

  • (0) Open the app "Simple Draw"
  • (1) Open the overflow Menu
  • (2) Choose "Open file". The Android System file picker opens.
  • (3) Click the Hamburger menu
  • (4) The Provider View opens
  • (5) In the Provider View choose "Camera Folder"
  • (6) The Camera picker opens.From the available Camera apps choose "Open Camera"
  • (Please note that in Android 11 and above the camera picker has been removed and therefore the default camera app will automatically open)
  • (7) Take a photo with "Open Camera" and choose "OK"
  • (8) You will be back again in "Simple Draw" with the photo you have just taken ready for processing.

Requirements:

  • Android-4.4 (api 19) or later with camera hardware.
  • At least one Camera app must be installed (i.e. Open Camera)
  • Required Permissions:
    • CAMERA needed to ask a camera app to take a photo
    • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to save the photo to a file

Technical details

  • "Camera Folder" plugs into the Android-System-File-Chooser that is used by many Android apps.
  • It Translates from ACTION_GET_CONTENT.to MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

How to compile

In the project root execute on the commandline

   ./gradlew assemble test

No adds, no usertracking, no internet connection, free open source, available on f-droid

    F-Droid loops pending download, and no asset other than source.

    Hi,

    What should i do to compile this apk? I am thinking just download the sdk from google and load the source?

    Unless there is an easier or alternative way with perks, would you suggest this?

    Thank you,

    Since Android 11 not all camera apps are selectable

    STR

    1. Install the app.
    2. Use it and you can only choose the default camera app: camer-app-selection

    System

    Device: Pixel 4 OS: Android 12, CalyxOS 3.2.0 source: F-Droid version: v5.3.1

    Problem

    I've reported this to the camera apps like https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Camera-Abandoned/issues/310 or OpenCamera. Apparently, the issue is however an Android one related to how camera apps are handled since Android 11. See See https://www.xda-developers.com/android-11-blocks-third-party-camera-apps-appearing-image-video-picking-intents/

    In case I understood it correctly, the calling app needs to whitelist all the camera apps it wants the user to be able to choose.

    So could we go though F-Droid at least and whitelist all good/known camera apps? This app here is pretty useless without that…

    I'd specifically suggest these:

    • OpenCamera aka net.sourceforge.opencamera
    • SimpleCamera aka com.simplemobiletools.camera (even though deprecated, may still be useful for those who still use and like it, like me)
