onActivityResult not being called on fragment for Android API 23

Question

I've already read a lot of posts, but none of them have a similar situation.

Context

The following code works fine for API 17 - 22, but not for API 23. The code below is inside the fragment.

private void takePicture() {

    // identify if the device has camera to decide the next flow of action
    PackageManager pm = mContext.getPackageManager();
    if (pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
        Toast.makeText(mContext, R.string.msgPleaseTakePicture2, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        dispatchTakePictureIntent();
    }else {
        showErrorDialog(getString(R.string.msgErrorPicture));
    }

}

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {

    ContentValues values;
    values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "Doarnf");
    values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "Doarnf");
    imageUri = getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(
            MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);

    if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    }

}

//on ActivityResult method
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {

    switch (requestCode)
    {
        case REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE:
            getPictureResults(resultCode, intent);
            break;
    }

}

private void getPictureResults(int resultCode, Intent intent) {

    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
    {
        try {
            mImageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getActivity().getContentResolver(), imageUri);
            mImageBitmap = ImageHelper.scaleBitmapBasedOnHeight(mImageBitmap, 1296);
            executeDonation();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            showErrorDialog(getString(R.string.msgErrorPicture));
        }
    }else {
        showErrorDialog(getString(R.string.msgErrorPicture));
    }

}

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
    android:name="br.com.cfb.doarnf.NavigationDrawerActivity"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:theme="@style/AppDrawer"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
        android:value="br.com.cfb.doarnf.MainActivity" />
</activity>

The Problem

The problem is:

Sometimes the onActivityResults is called back but the fragment variables are lost.
Sometimes the OnActivityResults is not called back. When the picture is taken the Android main screen shows up.

So I'm supposing that it is a bug from Android API 23.

Any idea?

Thank you in Advance.

If that's okay, I'd like to see the full code of this activity/fragment. Please notify me as well. — Akash Agarwal, Jun 03 '16 at 03:17
Did you test this on multiple devices/emulators running SDK 23? Maybe, the culprit is your device, not API level — liminal, Jun 03 '16 at 03:52

For API level 23 and above permissions from Menifest file is not enough, you need to ask for permission externally when you need, so I hope you have wrote permissions like READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and all in menifest file, but for API 23 and above it is required externally ,

So for that apply external permission and you are not aware for this then check my below answer :
