Hello friends I am using the following code in my my project.

PERMISSIONS:

```
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

```

XML FILE:

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Camera Test" />
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/camera_image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

```

Code(Java File):

```
public class ImageInfo extends Activity {
        private static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1111;
    private ImageView mImage;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.camera_image);
        //1
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
    }

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if(resultCode != RESULT_CANCELED)   {
            if(requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST){
                //2
                System.out.println("Request"+requestCode+"result"+resultCode);
                Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
                //  mImage.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
                //3
                ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                thumbnail.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
                //4
                File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/saved_images/image.jpeg");
                try {
                    file.createNewFile();
                    FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    //5
                    fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
                    fo.close();
                    Intent intent=new Intent( this,Info.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

```

I am successfully able to operate the camera and take images butan extra copy of image is being created in the DCIM directory (deafult directory) of android by name\_date.jpg
Please help in deleting all these files.
Thanks & regards.....
