My problem:
My app works fine to take pictures and receive them from the phones gallery when the phone is in portrait mode. By default my app is set to only be portrait and not allow orientation changes. I think theproblem arises because the phones default apps (camera and gallery) support portrait mode and somehow that is messing things up. I've tried allot of stuff but I think I may be overlooking something please take a look at my code.
