Get image Uri in onActivityResult after taking photo?

Question

I have this code:

startActivityForResult(new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE), CAMERA_IMAGE);

That allows that user to take a photo. Now how would I get the Uri of that photo in onActivityResult? Is it an Intent extra? Is it through Intent.getData()?

Answer 1

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
    Uri u = intent.getData();
}

By the way... there's a bug with that intent in some devices. Take a look at this answer to know how to workaround it.

Answer 2

Instead of just launching the intent, also make sure to tell the intent where you want the photo.

Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://somewhere_that_you_choose");
Intent photoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
photoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
startActivityForResult(photoIntent, CAMERA_IMAGE);

Then when you get your onActivityResult() method called, if it was a success just open a stream to the URI and it should all be set.

Answer 3

Uri uri = null;
if(requestCode == GALLERY_INTENT && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
  uri = data.getData();
}
