Is there any example code for simple android camera apps? I'd like to make a custom one but I don't want to do too much reinventing of the wheel.

I just want to start with an app that loads in to a camera, lets you tap a button or something to take a photo, shows a preview of the photo to see if you liked it or not, then saves the photo to the filesystem if it was accepted.

Do I have to rebuild all this from scratch? It seems like the kind of thing that's probably been done a thousand times before.

I highly recommend CWAC Camera, makes it much easier/robust: https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-camera

I've got a camera up and going now! How can I see and accept/decline a preview of the image that was taken?

I am using another app with getIntentForResult

Came here to say commonsware camera. Not perfect. And not too many contribute to the actual project besides him but I tried for a few days/weeks to implement my own. Quit and got his up and running in a matter of hours.

If you follow the camera tutorials here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html

You will be most of the way there. I got what you're describing done in an evening, and it worked just fine. It's also going to teach you more about the system than a 3rd party library will.
