Android: Passing image between two activities

Question

I am trying to send an image back to the Main Activity from another activity after taking then image from the gallery in that activity.The app crashes whilst doing this. How can i solve this? This is my code

Second Activity

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();

                        String str = filePath.toString();
                        returnIntent.putExtra("UPDATED_PIC", str);
                        setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);

Main Activity

    @Override
        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
            if (requestCode == PROFILE_PICTURE_REQUEST) {
                if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                    if(data != null) {


                        String str = getIntent().getStringExtra("UPDATED_PIC");
                         //Getting Error here                       
                         filePath = Uri.parse(str);

                        try {
                            //Getting the Bitmap from Gallery
                            Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), filePath);
                            // Setting the Bitmap to ImageView
                            mNetworkImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        }

you need to write this code on onActivityResult() of MainActivity

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    String str = data.getStringExtra("UPDATED_PIC");
    filePath = Uri.parse(str);
}

use data in place of getIntent() in your onActivityResult()

and while calling the SecondActivity you should pass request code also

take a look at this reference question

you have written `getIntent()` it should be `data` – Ravi Jan 06 '17 at 12:05

Instead of using getIntent() try using data.getStringExtra() in your onActivityResult()
