So im a little stuck with this. At first i used a simple intent to capture a photo and show that in a imageview using the bitmap it saves in extras. to save this so that i can upload it to firebase storage is proving difficult. ive followed the training lesson in android developer taking photos simply. ive looked around and think i might also need to scan with media score, but the actual photo is already found in gallery
i can get a file created but it is 0bytes in the gallery app i can actually see the photo taken but in file manager and desktop browser i can see only an empty file. I really dont want to have to use the camera api.
Also once i take the photo the using the intent the app taking the photo crashes and then continues my app. before file provider it would work and return a bitmap Thanks for looking.
Any code redundancy in createfilepath method is me experimenting with android i think the problem is with the camera apps crashing but with it happening to all the caera apps i have its my code

public void newImage(){
if(pic.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager())!=null) {
File photoFile = createFilePath();
if(photoFile!=null){
Log.d("abc", "newImage: "+photoFile.toString());
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getActivity(),"com.example.testing.app.fileprovider",photoFile);
Log.d("abc", "newImage: "+photoURI.toString());
pic.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,photoURI);
startActivityForResult(pic,1);
}
}
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Log.d("test", "onActivityResult: ");
if(requestCode==1&&resultCode==RESULT_OK){
// galleryAddPic();
Bundle extra= data.getExtras();
bit =(Bitmap) extra.get("data");
Log.d("abc", "onActivityResult: "+extra.get(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT).toString());
picture.setImageBitmap(bit);
}
}
public File createFilePath(){
File filepath= getActivity().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
Log.d(TAG, "createFilePath: "+ filepath.toString());
File filepath2 = new File(filepath.getAbsolutePath());
File filepath3=null;
try {

Log.d(TAG, "createFilePath: ");
return filepath3;
// nCurrentPhotoPath = filepath3.getAbsolutePath();

return filepath3;
