java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering res

Question

My app allows the user to press a button, it opens the camera, they can take a photo and it will show up in an imageview. If the user presses back or cancel while the camera is open I get this force close - Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1888, result=0, data=null} to activity... so i am guessing the result=0 is the issue what would I need to insert to make this stop force closing?

Below is my code. I know I am forgetting something but just cant figure it out! (Admittedly I am about 2 weeks into learning android development). Thanks for any help!

    private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888; 
    private ImageView imageView;


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    this.imageView = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.photostrippic1);

    ImageView photoButton = (ImageView) this.findViewById(R.id.photostrippic1);



        photoButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent cameraIntent = new      Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
            startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST); 
        }

    });

  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) {  
        Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
        imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
    }  

I guess I would need a "else" in there somewhere but I dont exactly know to do that.

below is the logcat

Answer 1

I also encountered this question, I solved it through adding two conditions one is:

resultCode != null

the other is:

resultCode != RESULT_CANCELED

Answer 2

this is my case

startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);

I defined two request code PICK_IMAGE_REQUESTand SCAN_BARCODE_REQUEST with the same value, eg.

static final int BARCODE_SCAN_REQUEST = 1;

static final int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;

this could also causes the problem

Answer 3

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) 
    {  
        if (requestCode == CAMERE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) 
        {  
           Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
           imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
        } 
}

You can check if the resultCode equals RESULT_OK this will only be the case if a picture is taken and selected and everything worked. This if clause here should check every condition.

Answer 4

If the user cancel the request, the data will be returned as NULL. The thread will throw a nullPointerException when you call data.getExtras().get("data");. I think you just need to add a conditional to check if the data returned is null.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) {
       if (data != null)
       {         
           Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
           imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
       }
}  

Answer 5

My problem was in the called activity when it tries to return to the previous activity by "finishing." I was incorrectly setting the intent. The following code is Kotlin.

I was doing this:

        intent.putExtra("foo", "bar")
        finish()

When I should have been doing this:

        val result = Intent()
        result.putExtra("foo", "bar")
        setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, result)
        finish()

Answer 6

For Kotlin Users don't forget to add ? in data: Intent? like

public override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {}
