                System.out.println("file-path---=" + file_path);
            }else{
                Toast.makeText(this, "Please try again", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            if(!CommonUtils.isEmpty(file_path)){

            }
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // "User cancelled image capture",
        } else {

File file = getOutputMediaFile(type);
    if (file != null) {
        return Uri.fromFile(file);
    }
    return null;

getOutputMediaFile()

// External sdcard location
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "My Images");
    // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
    if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
        if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
            return null;
        }

    // Create a media file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
    File mediaFile;
    System.out.println("mediaStorageDir==" + mediaStorageDir);
    if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
        mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".png");
    } else if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {
        mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "VID_" + timeStamp + ".mp4");
    } else {
        return null;
    }
    return mediaFile;

"update the app without asking user" - very. bad. idea. Would make me uninstall immediately and report to Google. — Fildor, Jan 20 '16 at 10:16
sir you have mistaken me actually after asking through alert to update or not then I want it to auto update the rest thing @Fildor — Hari Mohan Mehta, Jan 20 '16 at 11:04
I see. You just want to circumvent Play Store, then. User still has the ability to confirm. Is there a specific reason to avoid Play Store? (Just curious) — Fildor, Jan 20 '16 at 11:06
[Android Developer Site](http://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/files.html) always is a very good source for such information. — Fildor, Jan 20 '16 at 11:08
If there's no memory card, you can use this to store in your device's memory:PATH=android.os.Environment.getDataDirectory().toString()+"/data/your.package.name/Download/" — Yogesh Patel, Jan 27 '16 at 06:35
And what does "is not working" mean? What error message do you get? Is the new apk signed with the same key as the current version that is installed? — Gavriel, Jan 27 '16 at 06:56
Can u show the error, it will be there in logcat. Do both the apps match the same Keys — Nidhin Prathap, Feb 01 '16 at 07:36
I am getting error at this line InputStream is = c.getInputStream(); — Hari Mohan Mehta, Feb 01 '16 at 07:48

It appears like you're starting the activity for result from a fragment. In that case you've to override the OnActivityResult() method in both the fragment and the Activity. Check out this answer. This should help https://stackoverflow.com/a/21826858/7659504
