Try this method to save captured image in application storage

 public Uri setImageUri() {
        ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
        File directory = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        File file = new File(directory,System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
        Uri imgUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
        this.imgPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
        return imgUri;
    }

Image will store at this location

/data/data/com.your.packagename/app_data/imageDir

get URI from onActivityResult() and convert it into bytes store bytes in Database.

byte[] UserPic = null;
UserPic = Base64.decode(result.getData(), 0);
