Android null pointer exception with camera images

Question

i am trying to launch the camera and capture the image file in the inactivity result then save it in a file.. but i keep getting a java.lang.NullPointerException at the getContentResolver.notifyChange line.

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    switch(requestCode) {
        case 1001:
            if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                getContentResolver().notifyChange(imageUri, null);
                imageView = (ImageView )findViewById(R.id.take_photo_image_view);
                ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
                Bitmap bitmap;
                try {
                    bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver,
                      imageUri);
                    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    Toast.makeText(GetPhotoActivity.this, "failed to load",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.toString());
                }
            }
    }
}

Answer 1

Call for camera activity using below code:

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                    File f = new File(android.os.Environment
                            .getExternalStorageDirectory(), "temp.jpg");
                    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
                    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);

In onActivityResult

if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == REQUEST_CAMERA) {
                File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        .toString());
                for (File temp : f.listFiles()) {
                    if (temp.getName().equals("temp.jpg")) {
                        f = temp;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                try {
                    Bitmap bm;
                    BitmapFactory.Options btmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
                    imageView = (ImageView )findViewById(R.id.take_photo_image_view);
                    bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),
                            btmapOptions);
 
                    // bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, 70, 70, true);
                    imageView.setImageBitmap(bm);
 
                    String path = android.os.Environment
                            .getExternalStorageDirectory()
                            + File.separator
                            + "Phoenix" + File.separator + "default";
                    f.delete();
                    OutputStream fOut = null;
                    File file = new File(path, String.valueOf(System
                            .currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");
                    try {
                        fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
                        bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, fOut);
                        fOut.flush();
                        fOut.close();
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
