Android - How To Know Geotagging Feature From Camera Is On Or No?

how to know geotagging feature from camera is on or no? this code for open camera phone Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); fileUri = getOutputMedi

Solution 1:

You can't check this programatically. You'll have to read the tags of the pictures taken and check the GPS-coordinates manually, if the tags are empty then geo-tagging is disabled.

You can use the ExifInterface class to read the EXIF metadata from JPEG images. Here's the official docs link explaining this:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ExifInterface.html

Here's sample code you can use to read the tags:

Bundlebundle= getIntent().getExtras();

if (null != bundle) {
    String filepath = bundle.getString(FILE_PATH_KEY);

    try {
        ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filepath);
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

        builder.append("Date & Time: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_DATETIME) +"\n\n");
        builder.append("Flash: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_FLASH) +"\n");
        builder.append("Focal Length: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_FOCAL_LENGTH) +"\n\n");
        builder.append("GPS Datestamp: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_FLASH) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Latitude: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Latitude Ref: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE_REF) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Longitude: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Longitude Ref: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE_REF) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Processing Method: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_PROCESSING_METHOD) +"\n");
        builder.append("GPS Timestamp: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_TIMESTAMP) +"\n\n");
        builder.append("Image Length: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_IMAGE_LENGTH) +"\n");
        builder.append("Image Width: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_IMAGE_WIDTH) +"\n\n");
        builder.append("Camera Make: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_MAKE) +"\n");
        builder.append("Camera Model: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_MODEL) +"\n");
        builder.append("Camera Orientation: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION) +"\n");
        builder.append("Camera White Balance: "+ getExifTag(exif, ExifInterface.TAG_WHITE_BALANCE) +"\n");

        builder = null;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
