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); } ``` }
