I am trying to take a photo from the phone's camera, then pass it to tesseract engine and write the result on a text view by the code you can see in the following.

MainActivity:

package com.example.arbazalam.myapplication;

                cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);

    private void doOCR(final Bitmap bitmap2) {
        String text = mTessOCR.getOCRResult(bitmap2);
        resultText.setText(text);

    }
}

MyTessOCR:

package com.example.arbazalam.myapplication;


import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;

import com.googlecode.tesseract.android.TessBaseAPI;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

public class MyTessOCR {
    private String datapath;
    private TessBaseAPI mTess;
    public Context context;

    public MyTessOCR(Context context)
    {
        this.context = context;
        datapath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/ocrctz/";
        File dir = new File(datapath + "/tessdata/");
        File file = new File(datapath + "/tessdata/" + "eng.traineddata");
        if (!file.exists())
        {
            Log.d("mylog", "in file doesn't exist");
            dir.mkdirs();
            copyFile(context);
        }

        mTess = new TessBaseAPI();
        String language = "eng";
        mTess.init(datapath, language);
        //Auto only
        mTess.setPageSegMode(TessBaseAPI.PageSegMode.PSM_AUTO_ONLY);
    }

    public void stopRecognition() {
        mTess.stop();
    }

    public String getOCRResult(Bitmap bitmap)
    {
        mTess.setImage(bitmap);
        String detected = mTess.getUTF8Text();
        return detected;
    }

    public void onDestroy()
    {
        if (mTess != null)
            mTess.end();
    }

    private void copyFile(Context context)
    {
        AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();
        try
        {   InputStream in = assetManager.open("eng.traineddata");
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(datapath + "/tessdata/" + "eng.traineddata");
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int read = in.read(buffer);
            while (read != -1) {
                out.write(buffer, 0, read);
                read = in.read(buffer);            }
        } catch (Exception e)
        {
            Log.d("mylog", "couldn't copy with the following error : "+e.toString());
        }
    }
}

But I get this error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to read bitmap

On this line of the code:

mTess.setImage(bitmap);

What I have tried:

Why this happens and how should I fix this problem?
