# Deferred Photo Delivery Sample (ArkTS)

Before developing a camera application, request permissions by following the instructions provided in [Camera Development Preparations](camera-preparation.md).

This topic provides sample code that covers the complete deferred photo delivery process to help you understand the complete API calling sequence.

Before referring to the sample code, you are advised to read [Deferred Photo Delivery (ArkTS)](camera-deferred-capture.md), [Device Input Management](camera-device-input.md), [Camera Session Management](camera-session-management.md), and [Photo Capture](camera-shooting.md).

## Development Process

After obtaining the output stream capabilities supported by the camera, create a photo stream. The development process is as follows:

## Sample Code

For details about how to obtain the context, see [Obtaining the Context of UIAbility](../../application-models/uiability-usage.md#obtaining-the-context-of-uiability).
