capture image with camera - Failure delivering result ResultInfo

Question

Im trying to capture image with camera, i do it in this way :

start camera :

public void startPhotoTaker() {

            // create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application
            Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "cs_" + new Date().getTime() + ".jpg");
            mLastPhoto = Uri.fromFile(photo);
            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mLastPhoto);

            // start the image capture Intent
            startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_TAKE_PICTURE);
        }

onActivityResult :

if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PICTURE) {
                /**
                 Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
                 mediaScanIntent.setData(mLastPhoto);
                 this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
                 */

                File file = new File(getRealPathFromURI(mLastPhoto));
                final Handler handler = new Handler();
                MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(
                        this, new String[]{file.toString()}, null,
                        new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
                            public void onScanCompleted(String path, final Uri uri) {

                                handler.post(new Runnable() {
                                    @Override
                                    public void run() {
                                        handleSendDelete(mLastPhoto, "image/*", true);
                                    }
                                });
                            }
                        });
            }

The problem is when i back to the app its colose with error ! its app logcat :

I debug my app and i think this field : mLastPhoto is null ! but i dont know why ? it has value when i start the camera !

UPDATE :

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
        try {
            String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
            Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
            int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            return cursor.getString(column_index);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return contentUri.getPath();
        }
    }

I resolved my problem in this way (Im not sure its the best way but worked for me) :

 @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putString("mLastPhoto", String.valueOf(mLastPhoto));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        mLastPhoto = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString("mLastPhoto"));
    }
