Answer 1

I already had this problem, Here's my code bug

Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getData();// This code return null

My problem was resolved by modifying the code

Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 

Answer 2

To start the camera activity you can use follow code

Intent cameraIntent=new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST); 

After captiring image you will get captured image in the bitmap format in onActivityResult method. Now when you get the bitmap write the bitmap in the external storage and the pass the path of the image to anothe activity where you want to pass. From second activity you can open the file and get the image.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
   if (requestCode == 1) {  
        Bitmap bmp = intent.getExtras().get("data");
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

         bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
         byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray(); // convert camera photo to byte array

         // save it in your external storage.
        FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/_camera.png"));

        fo.write(byteArray);
        fo.flush();
        fo.close();
   }  
}
