OnActivityResult sometimes not called after ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent

Question

I'm working on an image editing Android application. In one of my activities I call an intent to pick an image from the gallery in onCreate() like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE); 

Then I receive data like this:

@Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {     Crashlytics.log("onActivityResult called");     super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);      if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {         Crashlytics.log("Data received from image pick intent");         imageUri = data.getData();         loadImage();     } else {         //if we do not select a picture, go back to the dashboard         Crashlytics.log("Data not received");         onBackPressed();         Log.d(TAG, "no picture selected");     } } 

The loadImage method:

private void loadImage() {     try {         photoBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);     } catch (IOException e) {         Crashlytics.log("IOException from getBitmap");         Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());         showToastAndPressBack();         return;     }      if (photoBitmap == null) {         Crashlytics.log("photoBitmap is null in onActivityResult");         showToastAndPressBack();         return;     }      Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();     Point size = new Point();     display.getSize(size);     imgVWidth = size.x;     int height = size.y;     imgVHeight = (int) (((float) imgVWidth / photoBitmap.getWidth()) * photoBitmap.getHeight());     photoInImgViewBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(photoBitmap, imgVWidth, imgVHeight, true);     imageAlreadyPicked = true; } 

Now my problem is that sometimes I see NPE-s in Crashlytics claiming that photoBitmap is null when the user presses the next button.

@OnClick(R.id.toolbar_next) void onToolbarNextClick() {     float originalScale = (float) (previewImageView.getHeight()) / (float) (photoBitmap.getHeight());     ... } 

The only Crashlytics log I see is that the user leaves for the intent (I placed a Crashlytics log inside onPause). No log for onActivityResult, so my best guess is that onActivityResult is not called, thus my bitmap is not loaded, thus it will be null when the user presses next.

Question: why is onActivityResult called sometimes, and sometimes not? Are there any other possible causes of photoBitmap being null?

You must add following code for taking images from devices

choosebtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {      @Override      public void onClick(View v) {          Intent i1=new Intent();          i1.setType("image/*");          i1.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);          startActivityForResult(i1,1);       } });   @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {     super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);     if(requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null)     {         imguri=data.getData();         mainpreview.setImageURI(data.getData());     } else {         Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"please choose image",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();     } }
