Android: takePicture() not making sound

I also had this problem. I solved it by using following code:The following is used to call takePicture:

clickButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {            @Override            public void onClick(final View view) {                mCamera.takePicture(shutterCallback, null, onPicTaken);            }        });

Now shutteerCallBack:

private final ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {        public void onShutter() {            AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);            mgr.playSoundEffect(AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);        }    };

Now Do whatever after taking picture from camera:

     /**     * This will be called after taking picture from camera.     */    final transient private PictureCallback onPicTaken = new PictureCallback() {        /**         * After taking picture, onPictureTaken() will be called where image         * will be saved.         *          */        @Override        public void onPictureTaken(final byte[] data, final Camera camera) {         }

This will play sound on clicking capture button.

Thank you :)

If you want a camera to play the default android sound, you have to give it an empty shutter callback.

ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {    @Override    public void onShutter() {         /* Empty Callbacks play a sound! */    }};mCamera.takePicture(shutterCallback , null, onPicTaken);

Tested on HTC One SV and Samsung Galaxy XCover 2.

You give the callback an empty shutter callback and then it plays the default sound.

If you call takePicture with a null ShutterCallback the camera won't play any sound.

The answer of Shrikant is working, but might behave unexpectedly as mgr.playSoundEffect(); is not intended to be called with AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND as the doc states.
