Sorry, I had this problem mixed with a fix I was trying out for other camera issue, and the description is not quite correct. But still a problem.
What happens is this: The pic is displayed mirrored, horizontally, on the camera preview. That's fine. But when I "pick up" the bytes the camera activity stored in the path I passed via: cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new File("myimgpath.jng"))); and build a bitmap again with them, the bitmap is rotated 90°. I don't see a way to hardcode a fix for this, since with the back camera it doesn't happen, and I don't know if the returned bitmap was taken using front or back camera... any idea?
