App closing when defining a Uri Android

Question

When I execute this code it works fine in my emulator (even saves the image), but it closes the application on my phone (nexus 5)

When I set a try catch around the Uri line the program does not crash (but then again its null value could also have no influence on the code below it)

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode== 0 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Bitmap x = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        userImage.setImageBitmap(x);
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, "profileimage");
        values.put(Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, "profileimage");
        values.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "profile Image");
        values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
        Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
        OutputStream outstream;
        try {
            outstream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
            x.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, outstream);
            outstream.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    }
}

Cheers!

EDIT: (sorry for my inactivity - new android phone that logs :D)

This is the error log:

**Never** create `catch` blocks that eat exceptions that you are trying to diagnose. Use `Log.e()` methods to log the exceptions, then use LogCat to examine your Java stack traces: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23353173/unfortunately-myapp-has-stopped-how-can-i-solve-this — CommonsWare, Jan 12 '16 at 18:20
..And please add the stack trace to your question, so we can diagnose your problem and help you fix it. — Jonas Czech, Jan 12 '16 at 18:32
@CommonsWare Well I only used the catch to show that the problem occurs there (it isnt in the code but would be around the "Uri uri = ..." line & the problem only occurs on the nexus so ... dont have any direct console/logger on it :/ — goodstuff20, Jan 12 '16 at 19:04
"the problem only occurs on the nexus so ... dont have any direct console/logger on it" -- did somebody steal your USB cable? If so, it would be a worthwhile investment to replace it. Not only can you use it to charge the phone, but you can use it for development purposes: to run your app on the device, to examine LogCat, to establish breakpoints and otherwise use a debugger, etc. — CommonsWare, Jan 12 '16 at 19:10
Yes, the only way to fix this is to get the LogCat from the device it's crashing on, in this case the Nexus.. — Jonas Czech, Jan 12 '16 at 19:26
ah true sorry - device is always offline in adb nomatter what & no root -.- so this the only way? :D — goodstuff20, Jan 12 '16 at 20:32
You don't need root to use adb via a usb connection. Have you enabled developer options by tapping 7 times on the build number in settings? Only other step is verifying you've got a proper usb driver installed for your device and you should be good to go. — Michael Krause, Jan 12 '16 at 22:41
@Michael Krause yes I've done all that - I mentioned the root for using apps because the adp didn't seem to work (seemed to have installed proper drivers & no exclamation mark & ive got usb debugging activated but still adb devices -> ... Offline :/ — goodstuff20, Jan 13 '16 at 07:30

Which Android version is your Nexus 5 running? If it's Marshmallow (or the N preview), chances are it's a permission problem caused by the Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI part of your code.
