I have an android application which contains multiple activities.

In one of them I\'m using a button which will call the device camera :

public void

I found an easy answer. it works!!

private void openCameraForResult(int requestCode){
    Intent photo = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    Uri uri  = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/photo.jpg");
    photo.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
    startActivityForResult(photo,requestCode);
}

if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath(), "photo.jpg");
            Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
            Bitmap bitmap;
            try {
                bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
                bitmap = cropAndScale(bitmap, 300); // if you mind scaling
                profileImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }

if you would like to crop and scale this image

public static  Bitmap cropAndScale (Bitmap source, int scale){
    int factor = source.getHeight() <= source.getWidth() ? source.getHeight(): source.getWidth();
    int longer = source.getHeight() >= source.getWidth() ? source.getHeight(): source.getWidth();
    int x = source.getHeight() >= source.getWidth() ?0:(longer-factor)/2;
    int y = source.getHeight() <= source.getWidth() ?0:(longer-factor)/2;
    source = Bitmap.createBitmap(source, x, y, factor, factor);
    source = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(source, scale, scale, false);
    return source;
}
