You may want to use startActivityForResult to get the image and the convert it yourself:
Get the image using the method in the accepted answer of this question: Android camera intent
and convert the resulting bitmap to a byte array as in this one: converting Java bitmap to byte array

ooo, I see... but basically there is not way, as far as I know to force mentioned above Intent do not create image?? The reason I want to eliminate image creation - is that now it creates 2 images: in sdcard/ and sdcard/DCIM/....
Steve
honestly, it's not problem for me do delete image under /sdcard/ root, the problem I can't find working example to find dynamic path to gallery(which would work in any android)... and finally: because I'm going to save image to DB - I see it as too expensive operation within program....

@Steve, using those links, you will create the Bitmap object in memory, not a bitmap file. There's nothing to delete!
Steve
looks very promising!!!!
