How to make a Camera APP that returns me a picture in Portrait mode?

Question

Hello everyone,

I am working in my first app for Android (beyond the exercises of Treehouse) and i am building a camera App , at the moment i write a intent to call the Camera of the device, so i can take the picture and return the bitmap to a ImageView, the problem in which i had been stuck for several days i that i can´t make the picture to appear in portrait mode, it returns me the picture in landscape by default, even when i took the picture in portrait. I tried several things now, i read already the Android documentation but its quite confusing.

Can somebody please help me with it, i will write you my Java code here so you can take a look.

Cheers!

import android.content.Intent; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

ImageView iv;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);

    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.takePhoto);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            startActivityForResult(intent,0);
        }
    });

}

@Override

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (requestCode == 0)

    {
        Bitmap theImage = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        iv.setImageBitmap(theImage);

    }



}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}
