Android Camera: Data Intent Returns Null

Camera Intent returns null onActivityResult

Your preinsert a uri here:

 imageIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);

So when you get a Activity.RESULT_OK just load the taken photo by its known url. Then you can set the path onActivityResult like below but you need to convert in to Bitmap.

if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
           // Convert here your uri to bitmap then set it.//
            mImageView.setImageBitmap(YOUR_BITMAP);
 }

Camera activity returning null android

You are getting wrong because you are doing it wrong way.

If you pass the extra parameter MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT with the camera intent then camera activity will write the captured image to that path and it will not return the bitmap in the onActivityResult method.

If you will check the path which you are passing then you will know that actually camera had write the captured file in that path.

Camera Intent: why data coming null?

When the onActivityResult method is calling, the variable data comes as null

That is because it is supposed to be null. There is not supposed to be any output delivered via onActivityResult(), other than the result code.

You know where the photo is supposed to be. It is supposed to be in photoFile. That is where you asked the camera app to put the photo, via EXTRA_OUTPUT. So, look for it there first. Then, if the photo is not there, see if it was a buggy camera app and returned a Uri via the Intent delivered to onActivityResult().

Intent is always null when taking a picture

The Image data will not be returned by the intent on the onActivityResult, but rather it will be saved on the file path created (If file creation was successful considering the permission aspect in different android versions)

Step 1. make the photofile a global variable

    private var photoFile: File? = null

Step 2. Update your dispath method with the glabal photofile

private fun dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
    Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE).also { takePictureIntent ->
        // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
        takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(packageManager)?.also {
            // Create the File where the photo should go
             photoFile: File? = try {
                createImageFile()
            } catch (ex: IOException) {
                // Error occurred while creating the File
                Log.d("ERROR", "An error occured")
                null
            }
            // Continue only if the File was successfully created
            photoFile?.also {
                val photoURI: Uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                        this,
                        "pim.android.photoapp.fileprovider",
                        it
                )
                takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI)
                startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 3. Update your on activity result

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
//        Log.d("DATA", data.toString())

        if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
photoFile?.let {
                val imageBitmap: Bitmap=  BitmapFactory.decodeFile(it.absolutePath)
binding.imageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap)
            }
            
            
        }
    }

Uri returned in camera intent is null

Android Camera : data intent returns null

Bitmap always returning null in camera intent

In onActivityResult(), you have:

if (requestCode == 7 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && 
    data.getData() != null) {

The first three parts of that are fine. However, data.getData() != null has two problems:

1. It is not relevant, in that the if block does not attempt to use data.getData() (though you have commented-out code that does)

2. data.getData() is supposed to be null for ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, so for correctly-implemented camera apps, your if condition will always be false

If you remove data.getData() != null, you should go into the if block and be able to try to get your Bitmap.

As others have noted, this code will give you a thumbnail-sized Bitmap. If you are looking for the camera app to give you a full-resolution image, you will need to use EXTRA_OUTPUT. This sample app demonstrates how this is done.
