Unable to request pictures to samsung device

Question

So I have this code request images from the camera app.

Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

        if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {

            try {
                mUltimaFotoFile = createImageFile();

                Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
                        "br.com.nortemobile.sgaconsultor",
                        mUltimaFotoFile);
                takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
                startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, SHOOT_PIC);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

    private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
        // Create an image file name
        String imageFileName = "registroFoto";

        File directory = new File(getFilesDir(), "app_imageDir");
        directory.mkdir();

        return File.createTempFile(
                imageFileName,  /* prefix */
                ".jpg",         /* suffix */
                directory
        );
    }

It's working just fine in a Motorola device. But when I try to use the same app in an Samsung device, the camera app always break... I tried some solutions in stackoverflow, but still no look.

Edit:

Here is my stacktrace:

Any help is appreciated!

I don't have access to the stacktrace because basically my app never crashes, but the camera app from samsung devices is the one that crashes. So I can't see exactly that went wrong. — Leandro Borges Ferreira, Jan 17 '17 at 12:01
Normally in logcat you should be able to to change the filter to show all apps, this might help in getting a stacktrace, without one it's really hard to help see what the issue is. — FrankR, Jan 17 '17 at 12:06
take a look at this question and see if it's any help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33650632/fileprovider-not-working-with-camera — FrankR, Jan 17 '17 at 12:34
You forgot to call `addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)` on your `ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE` `Intent`, or do the equivalent for older Android versions. As it stands, no camera app will work, as it does not have write access to the content identified by the `Uri`. See [this blog post](https://commonsware.com/blog/2016/08/31/granting-permissions-uri-intent-extra.html) for more. — CommonsWare, Jan 17 '17 at 12:35
@user7410521 I followed the answer in the question that you posted and it totally worked. CommonsWare I need the solution for older devices, but it works now. Thanks everyone, this was killing me! — Leandro Borges Ferreira, Jan 17 '17 at 12:51

I think your issue is that you are trying to save the camera image to internal storage, I don't think this is possible.Can you try saving to a location on the SDCard instead?

It is possible to save in the internal storage... I just didn't have the permission. I used the answer in this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33650632/fileprovider-not-working-with-camera and it works now. – Leandro Borges Ferreira Jan 17 '17 at 12:53
