Remarks
Standard Intent action that can be sent to have the camera application capture an image and return it.
The caller may pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control where this image will be written. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is not present, then a small sized image is returned as a Bitmap object in the extra field. This is useful for applications that only need a small image. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is present, then the full-sized image will be written to the Uri value of EXTRA_OUTPUT. As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP, this uri can also be supplied through android.content.Intent#setClipData(ClipData). If using this approach, you still must supply the uri through the EXTRA_OUTPUT field for compatibility with old applications. If you don't set a ClipData, it will be copied there for you when calling Context#startActivity(Intent).
Regardless of whether or not EXTRA_OUTPUT is present, when an image is captured via this intent, android.hardware.Camera#ACTION_NEW_PICTURE won't be broadcasted.
Note: if you app targets android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M M and above and declares as using the android.Manifest.permission#CAMERA permission which is not granted, then attempting to use this action will result in a java.lang.SecurityException.
