Take picture with camera and send the path to other activity

Question

I'm working on my app in Android and I'm having a little problem. On my MainActivity I take a picture and then save the path in a String, then I send this string to CameraActivity. This is my code:

btnCamera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

                startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);

            }
        });

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

        Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

        Uri tempUri = getImageUri(getApplicationContext(), photo);

        String ruta = getRealPathFromURI(tempUri);
        Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WarikeActivity.class);
        i.putExtra("ruta",ruta);
        startActivity(i);
    }

}

public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
    String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);
    return Uri.parse(path);
}

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
    return cursor.getString(idx);
}

Then, on CameraActivity I receive the path of the picture and Im trying this to put the picture on my ImageView

void events(){
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    ruta = extras.getString("ruta");
    Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get(ruta);
    imgWarike.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
}

But the Bitmap is null. Any idea why this happen? Thanks in advance.

Instead of taking picture and then get it path, first choose the path you want then save image there. take a look at below code:

private File file;
private URI imageUri;

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
    String name = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
    file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    if (!file.exists()) {
        file.mkdirs();
    }
    File photo = new File(file, name);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
            Uri.fromFile(photo));
    imageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
    startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_REQUEST);

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,    Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
    imageUri = data.getData();
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WarikeActivity.class);
    i.putExtra("ruta", file);
    startActivity(i);
  }
}

If you are trying to get the bitmap from the path obtained from intent use this code. Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(<yourFilepath>);

Or as you already obtained bitmap in your first activity, you directly send bitmap through intent as follows.

You can do this:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
    Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
    byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();

    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WarikeActivity.class);
    i.putExtra("foto", byteArray);
    startActivity(i);
}

And then:

void events(){
byte[] byteArray = getIntent().getByteArrayExtra("foto");
Bitmap foto = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);
imgFoto.setImageBitmap(foto);

}

Have you tried to follow the official Android documentation about it ? http://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html

yep! I did the "Get the Thumbnail" but apparently in some devices, the data returns null – LordCommanDev Nov 18 '15 at 15:53
