onActivityResult returned from a camera, Intent null

Question

I follow the instruction on Camera on Android dev site

I just start the Camera Intent, not build my own camera.

The sample code to handle result return after taking a photo is as follows.

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            // Image captured and saved to fileUri specified in the Intent
            Toast.makeText(this, "Image saved to:\n" +
                    data.getData(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // User cancelled the image capture
        } else {
            // Image capture failed, advise user
        }
    }

    if (requestCode == CAPTURE_VIDEO_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            // Video captured and saved to fileUri specified in the Intent
            Toast.makeText(this, "Video saved to:\n" +
                    data.getData(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // User cancelled the video capture
        } else {
            // Video capture failed, advise user
        }
    }
}

resultCode is OK, but data is always NULL, which causes a NPE. I looked into the sdcard, the photo was really saved there. Any tip? tks much.

Update: logcat info as requested:

Answer 1

The problem with your code is this:

data.getData()

This call does not get the extra with the key "data" from the returned Intent. It gets the field data from the returned Intent which is probably null.

You need to get the extra from the returned Intent like this:

data.getExtras().get("data");

Some of the other answers have indicated this, embedded in tons of other code. That makes it difficult to actually see what the problem is.
