Taking picture with camera intent rotate picture in portrait mode android

Question

Picture was taken successfully with camera but in portrait mode on samsung galaxy s3 the picture gets rotated. How can i solve this issue. Camera intent is as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(xdestination));
        startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);

In activity for result

 if (requestCode==CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST){

            //  Bitmap bm = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 

                Uri photo_uri = Uri.fromFile(xdestination);

                Editer.PHOTO_FROM=11;

                Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromFile=null;
                try {
                    decodeSampledBitmapFromFile = decodeUri(photo_uri);
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                }

                ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                decodeSampledBitmapFromFile.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100, bytes);

                File f  = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "user_image.jpg");

                try {

                    if(f.exists())
                        f.delete();

                    f.createNewFile();

                    FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
                    fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
                    fo.close();

                } catch (IOException e) {

                    e.printStackTrace( );
                    Log.d("ERROR", e.toString());
                }

            }

Pass your taken picture and SDCard path of that picture into the following method which will return the correct oriented picture...

private Bitmap imageOreintationValidator(Bitmap bitmap, String path) {

    ExifInterface ei;
    try {
        ei = new ExifInterface(path);
        int orientation = ei.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
                ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
        switch (orientation) {
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
            bitmap = rotateImage(bitmap, 90);
            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
            bitmap = rotateImage(bitmap, 180);
            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
            bitmap = rotateImage(bitmap, 270);
            break;
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return bitmap;
}

private Bitmap rotateImage(Bitmap source, float angle) {

    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    matrix.postRotate(angle);
    try {
        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(source, 0, 0, source.getWidth(), source.getHeight(),
                matrix, true);
    } catch (OutOfMemoryError err) {
        err.printStackTrace();
    }
    return bitmap;
}
