It is might seem to be easy, but its not. You can use Camera class for that purpose. It will give you back an array of bytes. With the Camera you have to control camera by yourself, but here you need to be careful. Android below 2.0 has not too much available capabilities to control camera. Also you'll get into the out of memory issues and native crashes for sure. I guess, it is because standard camera app is native and can avoid this issues, but in java it is a problem.
Anyway look for Camera class. Regards, Victor aka nakvic.
