Camera Intent Returns Null

Question

I am trying to capture image and video from my android application with the default camera using Intent.

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");

            startActivityForResult(intent, IMAGE_FROM_CAMERA);

Using above code i tried to capture Image and in onActivityResult i am getting Null in the data at data.getData()

I tried with passing the Uri with the intent but the Uri gets Empty.

Camera intent is not able to write image on the uri. I need the uri to send image video with Email.

Answer 1

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
 File dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);
 File output = new File(dir, "camerascript.png");
 cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,Uri.fromFile(output));
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1);
