Camera Intent not saving photo

Question

I successfully have used this code snippet before, but with the file pointing to somewhere on the SD card.

final File temp = new File(getCacheDir(), \"temp.j

Best solution I found is: FileProvider (needs support-library-v4)
It uses the internal storage! https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/FileProvider.html

1. Define your FileProvider in Manifest in Application element:

2. Add camera feature to AndroidManifest.xml's root element if mandatory:

3. Define your image paths in for example res/xml/image_path.xml:

4. Java:

   private static final int IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
   // your authority, must be the same as in your manifest file 
   private static final String CAPTURE_IMAGE_FILE_PROVIDER = "your.package.name.fileprovider";
   

4.1 capture intent:

    File path = new File(activity.getFilesDir(), "your/path");
    if (!path.exists()) path.mkdirs();
    File image = new File(path, "image.jpg");
    Uri imageUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(activity, CAPTURE_IMAGE_FILE_PROVIDER, image);
    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
    startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);

4.2 onActivityResult():

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
        if (requestCode == IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                File path = new File(getFilesDir(), "your/path");
                if (!path.exists()) path.mkdirs();
                File imageFile = new File(path, "image.jpg");
                // use imageFile to open your image
            }
        }
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
    }
