Re: Tasker Take Photo

[Nuno Mendes]

I think for the location part you need the Get Location action, plus enabling GPS, Wifi/mobile data before Hand. For the GPS you will need to install SecureSetting Plugin and open it once installed, and install from withing the Helper Extension. Then just go on Tasker->Event or whatever-> Plugins->Choose Secure Settings->Click on Edit and choose down the botton on Helper Section the GPS On/off(only way u can turn on/off GPS is with Secure Settings) Then you save %LOC variable from the Get Location action in your variable and do as you wish :)

Hope it helped!

When I tried the action Take Photo on the rear camera, I saw that the quality is pretty bad. If you compare it to the normal pictures you would take with the camera, the quality is very bad.

The camera delay is set on 3 seconds, the resolution as high as possible, but the quality is still bad...

I don't have to take a photo automatically, for me, it's also good to take it manually. But I need the location of the picture in a variable for my next actions.

 

So my question is: Can i improve the quality of the picture taken automatically, and if not, how can I get the location of the picture I just took?

 

Thanks

I'm sorry but I think I misformulated it. My english is not very good so...

What i actually meant wasn't the location of the picture but the directory (like /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/2013153254.jpg). I'm sorry for my bad english.

The built-in variable %FOTO should have the file path of the last photo taken.

Thanks!

I didn't know it was that simple.

Is it possible to do an action when a photo has been taken? So i have an action: load camera, then i have a profile when photo has been taken  (doesn't know if it exists?), then another  action...

As for the quality: you don't specify the problem but it could be a focus problem. Next update you can set the focus mode manually.

Ok, but I don't think I will get the next version (I have Android 2.3) Do you have an answer to my previous question? Is there something like a profile event when a picture has been taken?

I can think of context, event, hardware: camera button pressed might work for you.

You can use - Event>File>File Modified and select the folder -> sdcard/DCIM/Camera/ (manaully type it or slect the browse button and "Long press" the folder you want to monitor.). then whenever a photo is taken this will trigger.
