When you specify MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT flag for your intent, the taken picture will be stored in your phone storage and no data will be returned.
from Docs:
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.
When you use the approach to store taken picture, you have to pass URI together with the intent to tell where to store taken picture
NightCrawler Gave a link on how to get data back onActivityResult
Copying the most important portion:
YourActivity extends Activity{
onCreate{
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
onActivityResult(parameters..) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
yourImageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
}
}
