Android keeps crashing after saving photo

Question

i am writing a standart app which takes photo and then save it to the phone , as soon as i hit the save button, it saves the image, but crashes with Force Close , i read at least 10-15 threads here for the same issue, but none of them helped.I am testing on Samsung Galaxy S

here is the intent

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 

imageFilePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/picture.jpg";  

File imageFile = new File(imageFilePath); 
Uri imageFileUri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,imageFileUri );
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 1337);

also the OnActivity

protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) 
    {  

     BitmapFactory.Options bmpFactoryOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
     bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;  
     Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFilePath, bmpFactoryOptions);
     image.setImageBitmap(bmp);
     }
    }

thanks in advance

here is the LogCat

It's hard to say what the issue is without seeing your LogCat. However, it looks like you're taking a photo with the camera and loading it at full resolution. The Galaxy S has a 5 MP camera.

(((2592 * 1944 * 32) / 8) / 1024) / 1024 = 19.22 MB. You could be running into an OutOfMemoryError.
