Android Camera : data intent returns null

Question

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

Probably because you had something like this?

Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);                        
Uri fileUri =  CommonUtilities.getTBCameraOutputMediaFileUri();                  
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);                        
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, 2);

However you must not put the extra output into the intent, because then the data goes into the URI instead of the data variable. For that reason, you have to take the two lines in the middle out, so that you have

Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, 2);

That´s what caused the problem for me, hope that helped.
