public class KaamsekhaActivity extends Activity 
{
    private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888; 
        private ImageView imageView;
//**************************************************************************************************
private Intent data;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //setContentView(R.layout.main);
    setContentView(R.layout.apna_layout);
    Button capt_but = (Button)findViewById(R.id.capture_btn);
    this.imageView = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.picture);

    capt_but.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        //@Override
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub          
             public void onClick(View v)
             {
                 Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
                 startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST); 
             }
    }); 
}
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
    {  
       if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) 
       {  
            Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
            imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
            void myfunction()
       }  
    }
    public void myfunction()
    {
        TextView disp = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        File new_pic = (File) data.getExtras().get("data");
        Tesseract instance = Tesseract.getInstance(); // JNA Interface Mapping
        try 
        {   
            String result = instance.doOCR(new_pic);
            disp.setText(result);
        } 
        catch (TesseractException e)
        {
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

}

I can't figure out whats wrong with the code!

I don't understand your code. Where are you calling myfunction? — Simon

Please post the actual code you are using. "void myfunction()" will not even compile so I know it's not the code you have in your project. — Simon

The function doOCR takes a buffered image that is not possible while working in android! Bufferedimage uses IIOimage that is used in java but not in android!

Boy, you sure like to use lots of exclamation points! I believe Google Docs can convert a picture to OCR directly! Look here! The only restriction is you need Android 3 or higher! 'Hope that helps!
