Camera intent not working with Samsung Galaxy S3

Question

I have an activity wherin I give the user an option to click an image from the camera, then I store this image in a byte array and in the Database. However my code does not

Answer 1

Finally after struggling for three days, I have devised a simple mechanism to overcome the Samsung S3 Saga.

Below is the code, a quick summary of the code is that I first check the Manufacturer of the device and based on this I call different intents for camera.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private static int RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE = 1;
    private static final int PICK_FROM_GALLERY = 2;
    int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1337;
    Bitmap thumbnail = null;
    private static final int OG = 4;

    private static final int CAMERA_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 0;
    Uri u;
    ImageView imgview;
    // int z=0;
    String z = null;
    byte b[];
    String largeImagePath = "";
    Uri uriLargeImage;
    Uri uriThumbnailImage;
    Cursor myCursor;

    public void imageCam(Bitmap thumbnail) {
        Bitmap photo = thumbnail;
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, bos);
        b = bos.toByteArray();
        ImageView imageview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        imageview.setImageBitmap(photo);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        bt.setOnClickListener(onBTN);
        if (savedInstanceState != null) {

            Bitmap Zatang;
            String B1 = savedInstanceState.getString("message");
            Toast.makeText(this, "SavedYeah" + B1, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            opts.inSampleSize = OG;
            Zatang = BitmapFactory.decodeFile((B1), opts);
            System.gc();
            if (Zatang != null) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Success Zatang" + B1, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();
                imageCam(Zatang);
            }
        }
    }

    private View.OnClickListener onBTN = new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            openNewGameDialog();
        }
    };

    String[] B = { "Cam", "Gallery" };

    private void openNewGameDialog() {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setItems(B,new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface,int i) {
                if (i == 0) {
                    String BX1 =  android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;

                    if(BX1.equalsIgnoreCase("samsung")) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Device man"+BX1, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                        startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

                    } else {
                        Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
                        startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST); 
                    }
                } else if (i == 1) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
                    intent.setType("image/*");
                    startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
                }
            }).show();
        }

        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
            if(requestCode==CAMERA_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode==Activity.RESULT_OK){

                // Describe the columns you'd like to have returned. Selecting from the Thumbnails location gives you both the Thumbnail Image ID, as well as the original image ID
                String[] projection = {

                //At the moment, this is a bit of a hack, as I'm returning ALL images, and just taking the latest one. There is a better way to narrow this down I think with a WHERE clause which is currently the selection variable
