Controlling the camera to take pictures in portrait doesn't rotate the final images

Question

I'm trying to controlling the Android camera to take pictures in a portrait app, but when I save the picture, it's in landscape. I've rotated the image 90 grades with setCameraDisplayOrientation() method, but doesn't work.

Then I've found this post but the TAG_ORIENTATION is 0 (undefined). If I catch this value and apply a rotation value, doesn't work either.

How I can take a photo in portrait and save it with a good orientation?

    /** Initializes the back/front camera */
private boolean initPhotoCamera() {
    try {
        camera = getCameraInstance(selected_camera);

        Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
   //           parameters.setPreviewSize(width_video, height_video);
   //           parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
   //           parameters.set("rotation", 1);
   //           camera.setParameters(parameters);


        checkCameraFlash(parameters);

   //            camera.setDisplayOrientation( 0);
        setCameraDisplayOrientation(selected_camera, camera);


        surface_view.getHolder().setFixedSize(width_video, height_video);


        LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width_video, height_video);
        surface_view.setLayoutParams(lp);

        camera.lock();

        surface_holder = surface_view.getHolder();
        surface_holder.addCallback(this);
        surface_holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);

        setPreviewCamera();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.v("RecordVideo", "Could not initialize the Camera");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

public void setCameraDisplayOrientation(int cameraId, Camera camera) {
     Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
     Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);
     int rotation = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
     int degrees = 0;
     switch (rotation) {
         case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break;
         case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break;
         case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break;
         case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break;
     }

     int result;
     if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
         result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360;
         result = (360 - result) % 360;  // compensate the mirror
     } else {  // back-facing
         result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
     }
     camera.setDisplayOrientation(result);
 }

     public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap bitmap, int degree) {
    int w = bitmap.getWidth();
    int h = bitmap.getHeight();

    Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
   //       mtx.postRotate(degree);
    mtx.setRotate(degree);

    return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, true);
}

@Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {



    String timeStamp = Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString();
    output_file_name = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM) + File.separator + timeStamp + ".jpeg";

    File pictureFile = new File(output_file_name);
    if (pictureFile.exists()) {
        pictureFile.delete();
    }

The problem is when I saved the image I didn't do well.

@Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {

    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format( new Date( ));
    output_file_name = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM) + File.separator + timeStamp + ".jpeg";

    File pictureFile = new File(output_file_name);
    if (pictureFile.exists()) {
        pictureFile.delete();
    }

    try {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);

        Bitmap realImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);

        ExifInterface exif=new ExifInterface(pictureFile.toString());

        Log.d("EXIF value", exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION));
        if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("6")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 90);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("8")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 270);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("3")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 180);
        } else if(exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION).equalsIgnoreCase("0")){
            realImage= rotate(realImage, 90);
        }

        boolean bo = realImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);

        fos.close();

        ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview)).setImageBitmap(realImage);

        Log.d("Info", bo + "");

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.d("Info", "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("TAG", "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap bitmap, int degree) {
    int w = bitmap.getWidth();
    int h = bitmap.getHeight();

    Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
   //       mtx.postRotate(degree);
    mtx.setRotate(degree);

    return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, true);
}
