I am developing app using camera on fragment,so for camera I have used this library https://natario1.github.io/CameraView/home because I am using watermarks in camera, now I want to save pictures and videos to gallery, for pictures I have done with below code, for video I done research but not get a solution, for pictures this library is giving bitmap so pictures are saving perfectly but for video I can't figure out kindly help me.
Thank you

I hope you can fix my problem:
I have got a textureview to takes photos but when he capture photos, the file who need to contain the picture is empty. I don't know where and what is the problem. I just think that the problem is when the file is created. Thank you to help me.
This is a part of my code :
private void takePicture() throws CameraAccessException, IOException {
if(cameraDevice == null){
return;
}
CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) Objects.requireNonNull(getContext()).getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
CameraCharacteristics characteristics = manager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameraDevice.getId());
Size[] jpegSizes = null;
jpegSizes = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP).getOutputSizes(ImageFormat.JPEG);
int width = 640;
int height = 480;
if(jpegSizes!=null && jpegSizes.length>0){
width = jpegSizes[0].getWidth();
height = jpegSizes[0].getHeight();
}
ImageReader reader = ImageReader.newInstance(width,height, ImageFormat.JPEG, 1);
List<Surface> outputSurface = new ArrayList<>(2);
outputSurface.add(reader.getSurface());
outputSurface.add(new Surface(textureView.getSurfaceTexture()));
final CaptureRequest.Builder captureBuilder = cameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_STILL_CAPTURE);
captureBuilder.addTarget(reader.getSurface());
captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_MODE,CameraMetadata.CONTROL_MODE_AUTO);
int rotation = Objects.requireNonNull(getActivity()).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.JPEG_ORIENTATION,ORIENTATIONS.get(rotation));
// First I get the path to gallery and crate new Album to my app

Try with below code:
File myDir;
String fname;
String id = "123456";
int count = 0;
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
myDir = new File(root + "/PhotoApp/" + id);
myDir.mkdirs();
count++;
counter.setText(String.valueOf(count));
fname = "" + id + "-" + count + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists()) file.delete();
This code will create a folder PhotoApp and inside the folder, all the images will store.
You can get full code with the camera in my GitHub:
Link: https://github.com/abhishekhzb/quick_camera
After following a few tutorials i've got a code to save an created bitmap into the SD Card. However nothing is being saved or created.
I have a method to check if i can write into the External Storage, and it returns true (files \ folders can be created). However when i try to create something it just won't.
I also tried an method just to write an string to the sd card (simple file), didn't worked as well.
Is there any config i should set on Android Studio to save files on the SD Card ?
Important: Using emulated device, no physical device.
I've saw posts on SO\Google about writing to the SD card. They all look like what i'm already doing.
Any input is highly appreciated
Thanks

I want to play a decoded string to audio file.
The string is received from another activity, but mediaPlayer shows null. How can I get and set the path in media.create()?
public class AAudio extends AppCompatActivity {

byte[] decoded = Base64.decode(recieve_file, 0);
String fileName = String.valueOf(decoded);
Log.e("~~~~~~~~ Decoded: ", Arrays.toString(decoded));
try {
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
File myDir = new File(root, "/kaushlya/mp3");
String path = String.valueOf(myDir);
myDir.mkdirs();
String audioName = "Advicory.mp3";
File file = new File(myDir, audioName);
FileOutputStream os = null;
try {
os = new FileOutputStream(file, true);
os.write(decoded);
os.close();
**mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse(Uri.parse(root)+path+fileName));
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);**
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
catch (Exception e) {

play_audio.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {

In my application, I have an expandablelistview and I want to open a PDF downloaded from the internet when I click on a specific child. The problem is that the pdf file (Read.pdf) is always empty, meaning that the download is not working.
Downloader Class:
public class Downloader {
public static void DownloadFile(String fileURL, File directory) {
try {
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(directory);
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
}
f.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Part of the Activity:
private void registerClick() {
expListView.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {
if ((groupPosition == 0) && (childPosition == 0)){
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"IAVE", "Read.pdf");
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Downloader.DownloadFile("https://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/Passageiros/1_horarios/horarios/PDF/lx/linha_cascais.pdf", file);
AbrirPDF.showPdf();
} else {
}
return false;
}
});
}
I think the OpenPDF (AbrirPDF) doesn't have any problem, but I will post it...
public class AbrirPDF {
public static void showPdf()
{
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"IAVE/Read.pdf");
PackageManager packageManager = ContextGetter.getAppContext().getPackageManager();
Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
testIntent.setType("application/pdf");
List list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(testIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ContextGetter.getAppContext().startActivity(intent);
}
}
Thank you.
Ideally, your download should happen in a separate thread to avoid locking your app.
Here is an example that also includes a progress bar.

new DownloadFileFromURL().execute(file_url);
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case progress_bar_type: // we set this to 0
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
pDialog.setMessage("Downloading file. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setMax(100);
pDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
return pDialog;

}
}
class DownloadFileFromURL extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
#Override

super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(progress_bar_type);
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... f_url) {
int count;
try {
URL url = new URL(f_url[0]);
URLConnection conection = url.openConnection();
conection.connect();
// this will be useful so that you can show a tipical 0-100%
// progress bar
int lenghtOfFile = conection.getContentLength();
// download the file
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream(),
8192);
// Output stream
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
+ "/2011.kml");
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
long total = 0;
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
// publishing the progress....
// After this onProgressUpdate will be called
publishProgress("" + (int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
// writing data to file
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
// flushing output
output.flush();
// closing streams
output.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
// setting progress percentage

}
#Override

I am stuck at this. MY application clicks multiple images programmatically.
Issue is my take picture call is inside button listener click function.
1. When i do button click it triggers the thread for take picture that works.
2. If i directly call that obj.run() it does not-> shows take picture failed at run time.
3. If i do btn.perform click - still fails.
I am building an application that listens on a socket and on a trigger click multiple images n save them to create .gif.
