call camera, take picture but fails on 'save'

Question

My code below is an activity with 2 buttons and a imageview. I fire the camera intent, the camera opens, i take a picture and select 'confirm button' in native camera app.

On clicking 'confirm'/'save' the camera crashes and my app code is re-entered at onActivityResult and i see that RESULT_OK is -1.

Anybody know what might be the issue or indeed how i can track the issue? Any logs i can submit here, i can see no errors except the one in the camera app screen.

Could it be permissions for storage, im presuming the camera is trying to store at the point o 'save' and thats when it crashes.

public class NewUser_Activity extends Activity {


        /** The Constant PICK_IMAGE. */

I'm a little confused by the question, since RESULT_OK is -1, so it seems the camera app is not crashing, but is telling you that it resulted correctly. Is there anything in logcat? — WoogieNoogie, Apr 27 '15 at 01:12
Nothing in logcat that i can see. The camera does crash-'camera has stopped working'. The camera closes and we return to my code (as i called the camera intent) with result_ok = -1 — Fearghal, Apr 27 '15 at 08:43

Check out that post: Summary: Take a picture utilizing Camera Intent and display the photo with correct orientation (works on hopefully all devices)

And find some sample code here: https://github.com/ralfgehrer/AndroidCameraUtil

Did you run your code using another device, yet? The camera intent is - to my experience - implemented inconsistently across all android devices of all manufacturers and android versions. So it's hard to pinpoint the issue. Consequently, I shared my solution on github along with a list of tested devices. Feel free to give it a try. – Ralf Apr 27 '15 at 11:34
I found the issue just there, thought i updated this thread, maybe updated another by mistake.... - camera.putExtra("crop", "true"); crashes it. whats that about? This is a major drawback with and dev and would have thought it'd be covered. I have to find a proven way to crop now – Fearghal Apr 27 '15 at 11:36

It was the following; camera.putExtra("crop", "true");

Android studio is really annoying, it doesn't track my code out of the app to the camera app so you lose visibility to it, this was guess work.

How can i crop if this doesn't work?
