Question

I am sending an intent for camera with a path in Extra. But in result i am not getting the image path. Where i am wrong?

my code is

 Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
               if (!APP_FILE_PATH_Images.exists()) 
                {
                     APP_FILE_PATH_Images.mkdirs();
                }
             Uri uriSavedImage  =Uri.fromFile(new File(APP_FILE_PATH_Images+ File.separator +
                        "IMG_"+ getTimeStamp() + ".jpeg"));
             cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);
             startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST); 

onActivityResult code is:

    else if(requestCode==CAMERA_REQUEST)
                {
                    Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
                    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
                    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, proj, null, null, null);
                    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();

                    final String filePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
                    Log.i("File path", filePath+"");
                    cursor.close();
                    runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
                    {
                        @Override
                        public void run() 
                        {
                            imageData= new ImagesData();
                            imageData.Source= filePath;
                            imageData.isVector= false;
                            addImage(imageData);
                        }
                    });

                }

I am able to get videos with the same code.
Thanks,

You don’t need to get the path back in the result: it would be the one you passed in. Try using that URI when your result comes back. (In other words, don’t try to read it from the Intent, just save it locally.) It’s not the same as capturing video.
