Native App: Android Delete Camera Captured Image Through My App

In my android app i have used camera intent for capture photo. Once photo taken, on Activity result i got image bitmap data. I stored the image data in my local db(sqlite db) for f

Solution 1:

• Retrieve absolute path to the image file and create File object
• Ensure you have write access to it
• Call File.delete()

Check for exception and return values

Solution 2:

If you used EXTRA_OUTPUT on your ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTUREIntent, you (usually) have control over where the image is written, and you can delete it yourself.

If you did not use EXTRA_OUTPUT, then the camera app should not be saving a full image anywhere. If it is doing that, it's a bug in that app. However, you do not have any idea where that image lives, and therefore there is nothing that you can do about it.
