Android image ACTION_VIEW "no activity found to handle intent"

Question

I'm trying to get a image to be shown using action view, and I keep getting a no activity found error. Here's what I'm using to save the file, followed by what I am using to try and show it

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
    if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        // Create the File where the photo should go
        File photoFile = null;
        try {
            photoFile = createImageFile();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            // Error occurred while creating the File

        }
        // Continue only if the File was successfully created
        if (photoFile != null) {
            takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                    Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
            startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
        }
    }
}

Here's how I create the file for saving:

private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
    // Create an image file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
    String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
    File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
            Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    File image = File.createTempFile(
            imageFileName,  /* prefix */
            ".jpg",         /* suffix */
            storageDir      /* directory */
    );

    // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
    mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
    return image;
}

Finally here's where the issues take place, upon trying to use a action view to open the image I get a "no activity found"

mMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
            MarkerOptions m;
            Intent intent;
            for(int x =0; x < mList.size(); x++){
                m = (MarkerOptions)mList.get(x);
                if(m.getPosition().equals(marker.getPosition())){
                   File f = (File)pList.get(x);
                   intent = new Intent();
                   intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                   intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(f.getAbsolutePath()), "image/");
                   startActivity(intent);
                   return false;
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

Following here is the Logcat:

    android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=/file:/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/JPEG_20141201_113723_896105669.jpg typ=image/ }

This is my first time posting, I apologize if my formatting is inadequate or my question is silly. I've gone through multiple different answers on the site and none seemed to work

Try this instead in your "public boolean onMarkerClick":

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/pdf/Read.pdf");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "image/");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
startActivity(intent);

I get the same problem with this, but it also doesn't use the file I received from my array list named pList. – Ivan Gajic Dec 01 '14 at 19:31
where is the line 189 in your code? because at that line you have the exeption – Giacomo De Bacco Dec 01 '14 at 19:36
The error is at the line: "startActivity(intent);" in the "public boolean onMarkerClick" – Ivan Gajic Dec 01 '14 at 19:38
Probably there is an error in the image path. take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/a/21237131/3560534 – Giacomo De Bacco Dec 01 '14 at 19:43
Seems the file directory is off, but I'm not sure why. I tried using the getExternalFilesDir() method you linked, but that makes my program crash on the attempt to build a file. – Ivan Gajic Dec 01 '14 at 22:40
