Detect camera pic/video taken

[vallyian]

I need to detect when a picture or video is taken. There is no trigger for camera, probably for a good reason. I've figured I have to use some intents, for camera or for galery, but I don't understand how intents work so the random stuff I tried from the internet doesn't work e.g.. ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.
Any help appreciated.

You can try intent received "android.hardware.action.NEW_PICTURE"
And
"android.hardware.action.NEW_VIDEO"

In this macro, there should be a trigger for your photo taken: http://www.macrodroid.com/macrostore?id=5356

If the link fails, you'll need to open it on the device with MacroDroid installed and allow browser to open external apps

Thank you both for the suggestions. Unfortunately the intent doesn't fire for me. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with Android 10. Should this make a difference?

For me it also does not work. I just hoped it will for you.
