ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE onActivityResult has empty intent with empty data

Question

After reading this documentation https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics I want to take a photo and to store the uri of the photo into a given variable. Th

Answer 1

You already have photoURI which you send with MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT so You can simply use it . Save photoURI as globally and directly use it . See if RESULT_OK is emitted then it means picture was clicked and it will be saved at the EXTRA_OUTPUT location.

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    if( requestCode == Constants.REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
        // USe photoURi here
    }
}

You can not expect some custom key which is Constants.INTENT_EXTRA_VARNAME will be return with System camera Intent. I do not have any knowledge of such thing.
If you specified MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT the image taken will be written to that path, and no data will given to onActivityResult so you need to persist the file path.

PS : You can save it globally and also make sure you should persist it during onSaveInstanceState().
