Answer 1

You are ignoring an Exception at :

    try {
        // Code
        int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
    } catch (Exception e) {

    }

Try :

    try {
        // Code
        int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

And post logcat. It is never wise to thow away exceptions.
