onCreate method also called when returning result from camera

Question

I am making an application that can take picture from camera and load it in ImageView. Now my problem is when i open a camera, take picture and return back to my app, then onCreate method is also called then after onActivityResult is called.

This problem arise in Samsung s model.When i ran this code on HTC Wildfire everything works fine.In HTC Wildfire onActivityResult is called and then onResume is called.So what i want to achieve is possible in HTC Wildfire but not in Samsung S.

Here is my Code,

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

         Drawable drawable = null;
         System.out.println("Faces Fond"+facesFound);
         System.out.println("On Activity Result is called");
        switch (requestCode) {

        case Constants.PICK_IMAGE:
            switch(resultCode)
            {
            case RESULT_CANCELED:
                break;
            case RESULT_OK:
                dragLayer.removeAllViews();
                isFaceDetected = false;
                resetArray();
                numberOfViews = 0;
                if(data!=null){
                 uriOfImage = data.getData();
                 System.out.println("Uri is "+ uriOfImage);
                 if(bitmapForDragLayer != null)
                 bitmapForDragLayer.recycle();
                    try {
                        bitmapForDragLayer = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(uriOfImage));
                         bitmapForDragLayer = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmapForDragLayer, widthOfBitmap, heightOfBitmap, true);
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    catch(Exception e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                     drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmapForDragLayer);
                    dragLayer.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
                    isImageLoaded = false;
                    }
                break;
            }
                break;

        case Constants.TAKE_PICTURE_CODE:
            switch(resultCode)
            {
            case RESULT_CANCELED:
                break;
            case RESULT_OK:
                dragLayer.removeAllViews();
                isFaceDetected = false;
                resetArray();
                numberOfViews = 0;
                System.out.println("Value of data"+data);
                if(data!=null){
                bitmapForDragLayer = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
                 bitmapForDragLayer = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmapForDragLayer, widthOfBitmap, heightOfBitmap, true);
                  drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmapForDragLayer);
                 dragLayer.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
                 isImageLoaded = false;
                }
                 break;
            }
            break;

        case Constants.FRAME_SELECT_CODE:
            currentFrame = frameSelection.getFrameBitmap(resultCode);
            currentSelectedBitmapVO.setSelectedBitmap(selectedFrame);
            selectedFrame = currentFrame;
                    for(int i=0;i<array.size();i++)
                    {
                        System.out.println("value of i"+i);
                        if(array.get(i))
                        {
                        int height = currentBitmapVO[i].getSelectedBitmapHeight();
                        int width  = currentBitmapVO[i].getSelectedBitmapWidth();
                        Bitmap b = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(currentFrame, width, height, true);
                        selectedFrame = b;
                        imageView[i].setImageBitmap(selectedFrame);
                        imageView[i].invalidate();
                        }
                    }
                break;
        }
 }

Here is the code for calling Camera for taking picture.

Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.TAKE_PICTURE_CODE);

Same code running fine in HTC but not in Samsung.

Take a look on this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4901752/android-2-2-sdk-droid-x-camera-activity-doesnt-finish-properly/8679892#8679892 I solved the question about additional calls to onCreate function with an ugly workaround. — Neonigma, Dec 30 '11 at 13:53

Maybe your app has been killed by the system because of low memory when taking the picture. Then the activities lifecycle will start again with onCreate()

But this code is working fine in HTC Wildfire which has low processor and Samsung S has a higher processor than HTC Wildfire. – Pankit Nov 28 '11 at 11:42
I check the logCat and i found that onCreate and onResume is called two times and onActivityResult is called once.The sequence is as follows. 1.onCreate 2.onActivityResult 3.onResume 4.onCreate 5.onResume. – Pankit Nov 28 '11 at 12:12
@Pankit, I hat the same problem. this is what you are looking for: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10411009/activity-killed-oncreate-called-after-taking-picture-via-intent – Cookienator Sep 01 '15 at 13:10
