Who can help me review this bug, In my activity I startActivityForResult (used camera to take image). After taken photo, my activity can't resume. :(

In my java-code, at OnActivityResult

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    String filePath = "";
    switch (requestCode) {
    case MyActivity.RQ_SALE_TAKE_PHOTO:
        {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                if (data != null && data.getExtras() != null && data.getAction() != null) {
                    Bitmap tempBitmap = null;
                    tempBitmap = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
                    //.....
                }
            } else {
                //DO SOMETHING HERE
            }
        }
        break;
    }
}

Code call camera :

public static File takePhoto(Activity sender, int requestCode) {
    System.gc();
    final Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

    String fileName = Constants.TEMP_IMG + "_" + DateUtils.getCurrentDateTimeWithFormat(null) + ".jpg";
    File retFile = new File(ExternalStorage.getTakenPhotoPath(sender), fileName);
    if (!retFile.exists())
        try {
            retFile.createNewFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(retFile));
    sender.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
    return retFile;
}

Can anyone help me to explain the above error, and how to fix this error.

Answer 1

Seems like the return intent "data" is null

Make sure that you use startActivityForResult and the default camera application.

The default Android camera application returns a non-null intent only when passing back a thumbnail in the returned Intent. If you pass EXTRA_OUTPUT with a URL to write to, it will return a null intent and the pictures is in the URL that you passed in.
