Creating and Using a Camera Button
You can create a button that allows you to take a picture that will be
displayed on the button automatically every time you tap the button.
The picture will also be added to the Gallery app or the Pictures folder
in Gallery. Each time you press the button, a new image from the
camera will replace the existing image on the button. An image will
appear on the button until you press the button again.
Hint:
To view the image on a larger scale, increase the size of the button
and remove the button label.
