3,335 PointsHow to make a Camera APP that returns me a picture in Portrait mode?
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!
