//This is one of the best can take photo full size in android an save it but create temp file that what exactly is in your code. it doesn't work some of custom phones like some model of samsung & Mi there you can check for file 
//and you have to use Intent Action picker intent for that.

private URI mImageUri;

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
File photo;
try
{
    // place where to store camera taken picture
    photo = this.createTemporaryFile("picture", ".jpg");
    photo.delete();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    Log.v(TAG, "Can't create file to take picture!");
    Toast.makeText(activity, "Please check SD card! Image shot is impossible!", 10000);
    return false;
}

mImageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageUri);
//start camera intent
activity.startActivityForResult(this, intent, MenuShootImage);

private File createTemporaryFile(String part, String ext) throws Exception
{
    File tempDir= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    tempDir=new File(tempDir.getAbsolutePath()+"/.temp/");
    if(!tempDir.exists())
    {
        tempDir.mkdirs();
    }
    return File.createTempFile(part, ext, tempDir);
 }

//Then after image capture intent finished to work - just grab your picture from imageUri using following code:

public void grabImage(ImageView imageView)
{
    this.getContentResolver().notifyChange(mImageUri, null);
    ContentResolver cr = this.getContentResolver();
    Bitmap bitmap;
    try
    {
        bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(cr,    mImageUri);
        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Failed to load", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Log.d(TAG, "Failed to load", e);
    }
}

//called after camera intent finished taking photo
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent   intent)
 {
    if (requestCode==MenuShootImage && resultCode==RESULT_OK)
    {
       ImageView imageView;
       this.grabImage(imageView);
    }
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
 }
