question how to save photo as byte array

[yp25]

Hi, I want to know how to save photo captured as byte array directly.
In this sample code :
`private void takePicture() {
PhotoResult photoResult = fotoapparatSwitcher.getCurrentFotoapparat().takePicture();

    photoResult.saveToFile(new File(
            getExternalFilesDir("photos"),
            "photo.jpg"
    ));

    photoResult
            .toBitmap(scaled(0.25f))
            .whenAvailable(new PendingResult.Callback<BitmapPhoto>() {
                @Override
                public void onResult(BitmapPhoto result) {
                    ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.result);

                    imageView.setImageBitmap(result.bitmap);
                    imageView.setRotation(-result.rotationDegrees);
                }
            });
}

`

I can read from photo.jpg and then save to byte array variable . But how to directly read the photo data as byte array? Thank you

PhotoResult actually delivers photo as a byte array, and then toBitmap converts it to actual Bitmap. So, what you can do:

photoResult
    .toPendingResult()
    .whenAvailable(photo -> {
        // photo.encodedImage - that's your byte array
        // pay attention to photo.rotationDegrees parameter
    });

Should be in the README :)
