Quote:

I am developing an android app in which the user can select from the gallery or can click a photo through the phone's camera and save in the app's folder called "FiZZ".The camera part of app runs perfectly fine on all android phones except Samsung.The code given below throws a nullpointerexception at image.setPath(fileUri.getPath()); and crashes.

What I have tried:

MainActivity.java

Below is how I take a photo and save it in /DCIM/FiZZ folder:

/**
* take a photo
*/
private void activeTakePhoto() {
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {

int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); // create a file to save the image
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the image file name

// start the image capture Intent
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

try {
FileOutputStream outputStream_image = openFileOutput(file_image, MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
outputStream_image.write(string.getBytes());
outputStream_image.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "location of image saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}


private Uri getOutputMediaFileUri(int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if(isExternalStorageWritable()) {
//Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "value: "+ Uri.fromFile(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE)), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return Uri.fromFile(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE));
}
else

return null;
}
/* Checks if external storage is available for read and write */
public boolean isExternalStorageWritable() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}

private File getOutputMediaFile(int type) {
// To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted
// using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this.

File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "FiZZ");
// This location works best if you want the created images to be shared
// between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled.
// Create the storage directory if it does not exist
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
Log.d("FiZZ", "failed to create directory");
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"File directory creation failed",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());

int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE){
//String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String fname= "IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg";
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg");
} else {
return null;
}
return mediaFile;
}

The request_image_capture case is called:


case REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE:
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE &&
resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String filePath = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();
String imageName = String.valueOf(mediaFile);

Cursor cursor =
getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{MediaStore.Images.Media._ID},
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + "=? ",
new String[]{filePath}, null);


if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int column_index_data = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(
MediaStore.MediaColumns._ID);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(column_index_data);
MyImage image = new MyImage();
image.setTitle(imageName);
image.setDescription(" ");
image.setDatetime(System.currentTimeMillis());
image.setPath(picturePath);
image.setName(null);
image.setPriority("OFF");
images.add(image);
daOdb.addImage(image);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
cursor.close();
} else {
MyImage image = new MyImage();
image.setTitle(imageName);
image.setDescription(" ");
image.setDatetime(System.currentTimeMillis());
image.setPath(fileUri.getPath());//NullPointerException
image.setName(null);
image.setPriority("OFF");
images.add(image);
daOdb.addImage(image);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
//swipelist.invalidateViews();
}
}
