Solution 1:

You are using the following to compress the bitmap object you receive:

bit.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bao);

That is the reason your bitmap is being stored in a compressed format.

Also, you can use bit.getHeight() and bit.getWidth() to get the dimensions of your bitmap. You can use bit.getByteCount() to get the actual size of your bitmap

Android Camera Intent: how to get full sized photo?

Solution 3:

Firstly try to find out the size of the picture using the code below

CameramCamera=null;
Camera.ParameterscamParams= mCamera.getParameters();
SizecamSize= camParams.getPictureSize(); 

If the picture size you get is 5-10 KB, then there is nothing wrong with your code, you may have to re-visit your camera parameters to see what quality you have set.
