Just wondering , is there a way of 开发者_运维技巧storing the compass information of your phone when you take a photo,

Ideally the direction the person is facing when the photo will be recorded.

How would i go about implementing this in android

Edit added

the ExifInterface does not store data based on the compass direction when a photo is taken.

How could i go about storing it with the photo?

Generally this type of data would be stored in EXIF tags in the image, take a look at android.media.ExifInterface.
