Android might have killed off (and restarted) your activity before you get into onActivityResult, for instance because you rotated your device while taking the picture. Try to store and restore outputFileUri with the rest of the Activity state...

protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState)
{
    outState.putParcelable("outputFileUri", outputFileUri);
}

...

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    if (savedInstanceState != null)
    {
        outputFileUri= savedInstanceState.getParcelable("outputFileUri");
    }
}
