In order to fix this issue I needed to read the EXIF data. Save it to a temporary object then after the bitmap is compressed I open the file and write the saved EXIF data.
Supports the following EXIF fields if they are set in your image:
APERTURE
DATETIME
EXPOSURE_TIME
FLASH
FOCAL_LENGTH
GPS_ALTITUDE
GPS_ALTITUDE_REF
GPS_DATESTAMP
GPS_LATITUDE
GPS_LATITUDE_REF
GPS_LONGITUDE
GPS_LONGITUDE_REF
GPS_PROCESSING_METHOD
GPS_TIMESTAMP
ISO
MAKE
MODEL
ORIENTATION
WHITE_BALANCE
Sometimes Android will hand you a content:// uri in the place of a file path. Particularily the Camera.getPicture() code will do this. I've updated the file utils code to handle this type of uri and return a real file path.
Instead of capturing the orginal image to /sdcard/Pic.jpg or /sdcard/Capture.jpg we detect if the SD card is mounted. If mounted the file is placed in the apps temp directory at:
/sdcard/Android/data/{package name}/cache/
If the SD card is not mounted we default to internal storage at:
/data/data/{package name}/cache/
Renaming supportedAudioFormats to supportedAudioModes.
Renaming supportedImageFormats to supportedImageModes.
Renaming supportedVideoFormats to supportedVideoModes.
Adding copywrite header to the Capture.java file.
An implementation of the W3C Media Capture spec:
http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/Overview-API
Capture operations are supported for audio, video, and images. Each
capture operation launches the native audio recorder, video recorder,
or camera application, respectively.
