Android App crashes after capturing image using camera intent

The application attempts to capture an image using the device's camera and upload it to FireBase. However, after an image is captured, the app crashes.
It shows the error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.net.Uri android.content.Intent.getData()' on a null object reference
Functions in MainActivity:
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
storageDir /* directory */
);
mCurrentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error creating file", e);
}
if (photoFile != null) {
photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.android.fileprovider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();
take_pic = (Button) findViewById(R.id.take_pic);
imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.pic_view);
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
take_pic.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
dispatchTakePictureIntent();
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
progressDialog.setMessage("Uploading...");
progressDialog.show();
StorageReference filepath;
Uri uri = data.getData();
filepath = storage.child("Photos").child(uri.getLastPathSegment());
filepath.putFile(photoURI).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Upload Successful!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Upload Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}

You are getting that errror because your intent.getData is null. It happened to me too, your onActivityResult when using the take picture intent always brings the data as null. As a workaround I made the photoURI a global variable in the activity and onActivityResult called it again. It would be something like this:
First you declare the variable
Uri myPhotoUri = null;
Then, you initiate it in your dispatchTakePictureIntent function:
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error creating file", e);
}
if (photoFile != null) {
//you are adding initializing the uri
myPhotoUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.android.fileprovider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
}
}
}
And on your onActivityResult, you use that uri to call to your firebase function. It will now have the information necessary to upload it:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
progressDialog.setMessage("Uploading...");
progressDialog.show();
StorageReference filepath;
//you delete the Uri uri = data.getData();
filepath = storage.child("Photos").child(uri.getLastPathSegment());
//here you call it
filepath.putFile(myPhotoUri).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Upload Successful!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Upload Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}

First check that you have permission for using the camera, then
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQ);
Then onActivityResult
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQ && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
bitmap = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 150, 150, true);
}
}
then from bitmap to byte[]
public static byte[] getByteArrayFromBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
if(bitmap == null) return null;
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, byteArrayOutputStream);
return byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
}
You can now do whatever you want with the bitmap or byte[]

How to read a file from internal storage or external storage and store the file in a arrayList in android

My requirement is the end-user must be able to upload files into the application from internal or external storage and finally display the name of the file in the page.
Actual result: Now I've fetched the file name from the storage and displayed the name in my page.
Expected Result: The end user must be able to load image or video files from external or internal storage to the application and finally display their name in the page.
But don't have any idea about how to load read the file from storage and store it in a arrayList.
Code for fetching the file name
public class ServiceDetails extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button next, attachment_one;
private ImageButton attach_file;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_enter_details);
next = findViewById(R.id.submit);
attachment_one = findViewById(R.id.attachmentOne);
attach_file = findViewById(R.id.attachFile);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(ServiceDetails.this, ServiceAddress.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
attach_file.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.M &&
checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 10001);
}
new MaterialFilePicker()
.withActivity(ServiceDetails.this)
.withRequestCode(1)
.withFilter(Pattern.compile(".*\\.(mkv|wmv|avi|mpeg|swf|mov|mp4|jpg|jpeg)$"))
.withHiddenFiles(true) // Show hidden files and folders
.start();
}
});
attachment_one.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
attachment_one.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String file_path = data.getStringExtra(FilePickerActivity.RESULT_FILE_PATH);
String file_array[] = file_path.split("/");
String file_name = file_array[file_array.length - 1];
// Do anything with file
if(attachment_one.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
attachment_one.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
attachment_one.setText(file_name);
}
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 10001: {
if(grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(ServiceDetails.this, "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else {
Toast.makeText(ServiceDetails.this, "Permission not granted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}
}
}
}
}
I'm new to android and kindly help me providing solution for this answer. Million thanks in advance!
Image showing file attachment option

As you are willing to load the title of video/images, and other file related information from the External Storage. You have to use this code and also make sure don't forget to create a Arraylist with model(required to extract information and find to the listview).
//ContentResolver and contentProvider as well as cursor
String[] projection = new String[]{
MediaStore.Video.Media._ID,
MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE,
MediaStore.Video.Media.SIZE,
MediaStore.Video.Media.DATE_MODIFIED
};
String selection = null;
String[] selectionargs = null;
String orderBy = MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME + " Desc";
Uri content_uri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(content_uri, projection, selection, selectionargs, orderBy);
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToPosition(0);
}
while (true) {
long id = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media._ID));
Uri VideoUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, id);
Log.d("uri", "onCreate: video path " + VideoUri);
String title = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE));
float size = cursor.getFloat(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.SIZE));
// loading a thumbnail from the content resolver
// Load thumbnail of a specific media item.
Bitmap thumbnail = null;
try {
thumbnail = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().loadThumbnail(VideoUri, new Size(200, 200), null);
Log.d("thumbnail", "onCreate: Lodaing a thumbnail");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("thumbnail", "onCreate: Showing Error on thumbnail");
e.printStackTrace();
}
videolist.add(new Video(thumbnail, VideoUri, title, size));
if (!cursor.isLast()) {
cursor.moveToNext();
} else {
Log.d("lastItem", "onCreate: last uri is encountered");
break;
}
}
cursor.close();

NullPointerException on intent when accessing Camera Android

I am trying to call the Camera app twice as described here: https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics
Now when I was using this without creating a temp file this worked and I was able to call the camera twice but after adding the temp file I am only able to take one file before crashing. it is very frustrating because I can see that it is returning a full size image before crashing.
I have tried doing a second .putExtras() before the get but that is not working. I have also tried assert not null, same results.
private void takePictureAndUpload() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.android.provider",
photoFile);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI)
, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE) && (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)){
count++;
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
assert imageBitmap != null;
imageBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
final byte[] imageData = stream.toByteArray();
setuId(user);
final String path = "posts/" + UUID.randomUUID() + ".jpg";
FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
final StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();
final StorageReference imageRef = storageRef.child(path);
UploadTask uploadTask = imageRef.putBytes(imageData);
uploadTask.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
String ex = e.getLocalizedMessage();
}
}).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
imageRef.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>()
{
#Override
public void onSuccess(Uri downloadUrl)
{
final String url = downloadUrl.toString();//do something with downloadurl
data.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, url);
addPhotoUrlToDatabase(post.getImageUrl_1(), post.getImageUrl_2(), path);
}
});
}
});
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
storageDir /* directory */
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
currentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
This should open the camera take a picture then after accepting the first picture it should reopen camera for a second picture. However so far all it does is open camera, take a picture then when I hit accept it crashes with a nullPointerException.

Edit
This is the guide that I am following:
https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html#TaskPath

Make your activity result like this as using the same named parameters are confusing.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
}
Your Bundle seems like it's null.

Found an answer here:https://stackoverflow.com/a/37628687/10941659. It is not made clear on the android developer training site, but when you want to get a full size image you don't use the intent that you pass to onActivityResult. You need to use the path that you generate for your image, for example:
private void takePictureAndUpload() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.android.provider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, final Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE) && (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)){
count++;
Bitmap imageBitmap = null;
try {
imageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(),photoURI);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
imageBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
final byte[] imageData = stream.toByteArray();
setuId(user);
final String path = "posts/" + UUID.randomUUID() + ".jpg";
FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
final StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();
final StorageReference imageRef = storageRef.child(path);
UploadTask uploadTask = imageRef.putBytes(imageData);
uploadTask.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
String ex = e.getLocalizedMessage();
}
}).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
imageRef.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>()
{
#Override
public void onSuccess(Uri downloadUrl)
{
final String url = downloadUrl.toString();//do something with downloadurl
addPhotoUrlToDatabase(post.getImageUrl_1(), post.getImageUrl_2(), path);
}
});
}
});
}

Android 4.4 WebView file chooser not opening?

We are creating an app which uses the webview and will access a page where the user needs to upload a file. We are experiencing problems with Android 4.4 where the file chooser does not open and clicking the upload button causes nothing to happen. This functionality works with earlier versions using the openFileChooser method like so:
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
//The undocumented magic method override
//Eclipse will swear at you if you try to put #Override here
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
MainActivity.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("*/*");
MainActivity.this.startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(i, "File Browser"),
FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
//For Android 4.1
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
MainActivity.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), MainActivity.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
});
I have spent a good amount of time searching for a way to do it on 4.4 but have had no luck. Has anyone managed to do this?

This Code worked for me.
private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
//The undocumented magic method override
//Eclipse will swear at you if you try to put #Override here
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("*/*");
MainActivity1.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
//For Android 4.1+ only
protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture)
{
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg)
{
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
// For Lollipop 5.0+ Devices
public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView mWebView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback, WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
if (uploadMessage != null) {
uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(null);
uploadMessage = null;
}
uploadMessage = filePathCallback;
Intent intent = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();
}
try {
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_FILE);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
uploadMessage = null;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot Open File Chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, JsResult result) {
Log.d("LogTag", message);
result.confirm();
return true;
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SELECT_FILE) {
if (uploadMessage == null) return;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams.parseResult(resultCode, data));
}
uploadMessage = null;
} else if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
if (null == mUploadMessage)
return;
// Use MainActivity.RESULT_OK if you're implementing WebView inside Fragment
// Use RESULT_OK only if you're implementing WebView inside an Activity
Uri result = data == null || resultCode != MainActivity.RESULT_OK ? null : data.getData();
mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result);
mUploadMessage = null;
}
}

WebView is working as intended
If I understand correctly what the above link says , you (me and probably some hundreds more developers) are looking for a hack

Have a look this. Because api 19 4.4, webview has been migrated to use Chromium, not WebChromeClient anymore.

I was working on this issue too, and the problem and here is my solution
private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
/**
* This is the method used by Android 5.0+ to upload files towards a web form in a Webview
*
* #param webView
* #param filePathCallback
* #param fileChooserParams
* #return
*/
#Override
public boolean onShowFileChooser(
WebView webView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback,
WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
if (mFilePathCallback != null) {
mFilePathCallback.onReceiveValue(null);
}
mFilePathCallback = filePathCallback;
Intent contentSelectionIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
contentSelectionIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
contentSelectionIntent.setType("image/*");
Intent[] intentArray = getCameraIntent();
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, contentSelectionIntent);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Seleccionar Fuente");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, INPUT_FILE_REQUEST_CODE);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
WebActivity.this.setValue(newProgress);
super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress);
}
#Override
public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, JsResult result) {
Log.d("LogTag", message);
result.confirm();
return true;
}

final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "Seleccionar Fuente");
// Add the camera options.
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, cameraIntents);
return chooserIntent;
}
}
One problem that I solved is the uri delivered for the onActivityResult() method does not have extension. To solve this I use this method
public static Uri savePicture(Context context, Bitmap bitmap, int maxSize) {
int cropWidth = bitmap.getWidth();
int cropHeight = bitmap.getHeight();
if (cropWidth > maxSize) {
cropHeight = cropHeight * maxSize / cropWidth;
cropWidth = maxSize;
}
if (cropHeight > maxSize) {
cropWidth = cropWidth * maxSize / cropHeight;
cropHeight = maxSize;
}
bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(bitmap, cropWidth, cropHeight, ThumbnailUtils.OPTIONS_RECYCLE_INPUT);
File mediaStorageDir = new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
context.getString(R.string.app_name)
);
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
return null;
}
}
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
File mediaFile = new File(
mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg"
);
// Saving the bitmap
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, out);
FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
stream.write(out.toByteArray());
stream.close();
} catch (IOException exception) {

// And this is for Android 5.0+ (Lollipop)
} else if (requestCode == INPUT_FILE_REQUEST_CODE) {

Found a solution that worked for me. I've added one more rule in proguard-android.txt:
-keepclassmembers class * extends android.webkit.WebChromeClient {
public void openFileChooser(...);
}

Android Kotlin,
MyWebViewChromeClient class:
class MyWebViewChromeClient(private val mContext: MyMainActivity): WebChromeClient() {
override fun onShowFileChooser(webView: WebView, filePathCallback: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>, fileChooserParams: FileChooserParams): Boolean {
mContext.mUploadMessageArray?.onReceiveValue(null)
mContext.mUploadMessageArray = filePathCallback
val contentSelectionIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
contentSelectionIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
contentSelectionIntent.type = "*/*"
val intentArray: Array<Intent?> = arrayOfNulls(0)
val chooserIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER)
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, contentSelectionIntent)
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "File Chooser")
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray)
mContext.startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, mContext.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
return true
}
MyMainActivity class:
class MyMainActivity : MyBaseActivity() {
val FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1001
var mUploadMessageArray: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>? = null
private lateinit var mWebView: MyWebView
private lateinit var mContext: Context
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
if (mUploadMessageArray == null) {
return
}
val result = if (intent == null || resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) null else data?.data
result?.let {
val uriArray: Array<Uri> = arrayOf(it)
mUploadMessageArray?.onReceiveValue(uriArray)
mUploadMessageArray = null
} ?: kotlin.run {
mUploadMessageArray?.onReceiveValue(null)
mUploadMessageArray = null
}
}
}
}

What I have done to fix this problem it is to implement CrossWalk into my project. I know the size of CrossWalk is significant (adds Chromium to your project) but I really needed this to work fine inside a native app.
I documented how I implemented this in here: http://maurizionapoleoni.de/blog/implementing-a-file-input-with-camera-support-in-android-with-crosswalk/

You need to implement a WebviewClient class. You can check these example .
webview.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
The web.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
//
}
Create class called mywebClient and add the following code to implement onPageStarted() function, shouldOvverideLoading() function and onActivityresult() function as shown below.
public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
}
//flipscreen not loading again
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if(requestCode==FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE){
if (null == mUploadMessage) return; Uri result = intent == null || resultCode != RESULT_OK ? null : intent.getData(); mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result); mUploadMessage = null;
}
}

I have tried the File Chooser in a webview using the latest Android release 4.4.3, and it's working fine. I guess Google has fixed the issue.

MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT renders data null, other way to save photos?

Google offers this versatile code for taking photos via an intent:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); // create a file to save the image
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the image file name
// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
}
The problem is that if you're like me and you want to pass the photos as extras, using EXTRA_OUTPUT seemingly runs off with the photo data and makes subsequent actions think the intent data is null.
It appears this is a big bug with Android.
I'm trying to take a photo then display it as a thumbnail in a new view. I'd like to have it saved as a full sized image in the user's gallery. Does anyone know a way to specify the image location without using EXTRA_OUTPUT?
Here's what I have currently:
public void takePhoto(View view) {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
// takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
}
/** Create a file Uri for saving an image or video */
private static Uri getOutputMediaFileUri(int type){
return Uri.fromFile(getOutputMediaFile(type));
}
/** Create a File for saving an image or video */
#SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
private static File getOutputMediaFile(int type){
File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "JoshuaTree");
if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
Log.d("JoshuaTree", "failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
File mediaFile;
if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE){
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
"IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg");
} else {
return null;
}
return mediaFile;
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
handleSmallCameraPhoto(data);
}
}
}
private void handleSmallCameraPhoto(Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
mImageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
Intent displayIntent = new Intent(this, DisplayPhotoActivity.class);
displayIntent.putExtra("BitmapImage", mImageBitmap);
startActivity(displayIntent);
}
}

If you specified MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, the image taken will be written to that path, and no data will given to onActivityResult. You can read the image from what you specified.
See another solved same question here: Android Camera : data intent returns null

Basically, there are two ways to retrieve the image from Camera, if you use to send a captured image through intent extras you cannot retrieve it on ActivityResult on intent.getData() ' because it saves the image data through extras.
So the idea is:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
And retrieving it on ActivityResults checking the retrieved intent:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (intent.getData() != null) {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor = context.getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(intent.getData(), "r"); 
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
} else {
Bitmap imageRetrieved = (Bitmap) intent.getExtras().get("data");
}
}
}
}

Here is how you can achieve what you want:
public void onClick(View v)
{
switch(v.getId())
{
case R.id.iBCamera:
File image = new File(appFolderCheckandCreate(), "img" + getTimeStamp() + ".jpg");
Uri uriSavedImage = Uri.fromFile(image);
Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedImage);
i.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(i, CAMERA_RESULT);
break;
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch(requestCode)
{
case CAMERA_RESULT:
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK)
{
handleSmallCameraPhoto(uriSavedImage);
}
break;
}
}
private void handleSmallCameraPhoto(Uri uri)
{
Bitmap bmp=null;
try {
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent displayIntent = new Intent(this, DisplayPhotoActivity.class);
displayIntent.putExtra("BitmapImage", bmp);
startActivity(displayIntent);
}
private String appFolderCheckandCreate(){
String appFolderPath="";
File externalStorage = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (externalStorage.canWrite())
{
appFolderPath = externalStorage.getAbsolutePath() + "/MyApp";
File dir = new File(appFolderPath);
if (!dir.exists())
{
dir.mkdirs();
}
}
else
{
showToast(" Storage media not found or is full ! ");
}
return appFolderPath;
}
private String getTimeStamp() {
final long timestamp = new Date().getTime();
final Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(timestamp);
final String timeString = new SimpleDateFormat("HH_mm_ss_SSS").format(cal.getTime());
return timeString;
}
Edit:
Add these to Manifest:
Starting Api 19 and above READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE should be declared explicitly
*<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />*
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
to you manifest.

Try this one android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT hope will solve your bug. The following code works for me:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
I was facing same problem, every time getting null while retrieving data on other activity with getIntent().getData() then solved by writting complete android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT this solved my bug.
