Camera Intent Return Null Only On Some Devices

I am using camera to capture image and set the returned bitmap into an imageview but it is crashing on OnePlus devices. I checked on few htc devices and it is working perfectly. I

Solution 1:

What can be the problem here?

The problem is that you are calling getData() on the returned Intent. Returning a Uri is not part of the ACTION_MEDIA_STORE contract:

The caller may pass an extra EXTRA_OUTPUT to control where this image will be written. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is not present, then a small sized image is returned as a Bitmap object in the extra field. This is useful for applications that only need a small image. If the EXTRA_OUTPUT is present, then the full-sized image will be written to the Uri value of EXTRA_OUTPUT.

Given that you did not put EXTRA_OUTPUT on the Intent you used with startActivityForResult(), the only result you will get is the Bitmap in the data extra.

If you want a full-size image written somewhere, provide a path to that location in EXTRA_OUTPUT, then hold onto that path and use it when onActivityResult() is called:
