Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null In taking photo with Camera

Question

I Saw another questions about this problem but non of them helped.

In my app there two different ways for adding an image and displaying it inside an imageview. 1. Gallery - 2. Camera.

gallery way is working just fine.

But in Camera way (which I'm doing it with native android Camera) I have a confusing problem.

If I rotate my phone to portrait mode (so the portrait xml loads) and take the photo in portrait mode, it works fine.

If I rotate it to landscape and use use camera also in landscape, it works fine too.

now if my xml is in portrait and after going to camera I rotate it to landscape (to take a lansdcape photo) app crashes and gives me this Errors:

My Intent for taking photo:

                       Intent cameraIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
                       cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);  
                       act.startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, int2);

My ActivityResult:

else if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
 Helper line 299--->        String capturedImageFilePath = Helper.pathgal(act, mCapturedImageURI);
            bmp = Helper.decodeFile(capturedImageFilePath, act);
            if(bmp != null )
            {
                try {
                    Helper.showpic(act, id1, bmp);
                    settings = act.getSharedPreferences(st1, 0);
                    settings.edit().putString(st2, capturedImageFilePath).putInt(st3, View.VISIBLE).putInt(st4, View.GONE).commit();;
                    img1 = (ImageView) act.findViewById(id1);
                    img2 = (ImageView) act.findViewById(id2);
                    img1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    img2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                } catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
                    Toast.makeText(act.getApplicationContext(), "Try Again",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }


            }

getting image file path code:

public static String pathgal(Activity act, Uri uri){

    String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};

 Helper 161--->   Cursor cursor = act.getContentResolver().query(uri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);

    if (cursor != null) {
    cursor.moveToFirst();

    int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
    String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
    cursor.close();

    return filePath;
    }
    return null;

}

any idea?

Answer 1

I Should've Just add android:configChanges="orientation" in my manifest to activities.

Thanks everyvone.

Answer 2

Use following code

I had same problem resolved by it`

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
        Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);

        timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
        name=mode+"_"+img_type+"_"+timeStamp+".jpeg";
        output = new File(dir,name);
        cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,Uri.fromFile(output));
                    startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1);


    }

and in onActivityResult use output.getAbsolutePath()(where output is the file which we used to create uri to pass in camera intent)) to get that image

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

            if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

String IMAGE_URL=output.getAbsolutePath();

            }
