No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE (has extras) }

Question

Why I could receive this crash? I check the report in crittercism and the device affected was a GT-I9300 (Samsung S3) in 4.2.2. It's only one report in about 2500 daily users.

 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{co.seahorse.android/co.seahorse.android.views.camera.CameraActivity}: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE (has extras) }

Answer 1

This exception is thrown when the phone can't find an activity (application) that can handle your intent. On S3 it shouldn't be the case of no camera application but in very rare occasions things that are supposed to always work just fail.

As long as you don't have more frequent reports I wouldn't worry. I'd say that in 99% of the cases, single time reports are not a problem.
