Take photo with camera and upload full image to parse.

Hi there can someone point me to how I can take photo using camera and upload the full image to parse. Currently I am able to upload the image but only in small icon using Intent and when I set it on ImageView it appears stretched . I am using the code from here http://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html

Thanks. Ronny

We do exactly that in the Build a Self-Destructing Message App project. In stage 5 we capture photos and videos and then upload them to Parse in later stages.

Can we use that idea to get the image and display it in a grid layout with a title and a description? Ben, how would you go about something like that?

Yep! If you work through Build a Self-Destructing Message App and Implementing Designs for Android we show all the pieces you are asking for. You'll just need to make a few customizations, but all the important parts are covered in those courses.
