ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE has little to do with "the native Android camera".

By using ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE , you are delegating your request to an arbitrary third-party application. Dozens, if not hundreds, of different ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE -capable apps ship pre-installed on the thousands of Android device models. Users are also welcome to install other apps that offer ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activities.

Any of them can do whatever they want.

Ideally, if you specify EXTRA_OUTPUT in the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE , the third-party camera app will write the photo only to the location that you specify in EXTRA_OUTPUT . However, third-party apps can do whatever they want.

I donot want to saved in DCIM folder

The user's chosen ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activity can do whatever it wants. You do not get a vote. So, if the activity wants to save a copy of the photo to some other location, it is welcome to do so.

I want to delete it from DCIM Folder programatically

You have no reliable way to know if the user's chosen ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activity has saved a second copy of the photo, and you may not have permission to delete it. For all you know, the user's chosen ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activity will upload the image to a server somewhere.

Your choices are:

• Ignore all of this

• Stop using ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE , either by:

  • Not capturing photos

  • Using the camera APIs (eg, android.hardware.Camera ) directly

  • Using a third-party camera library
