Android new Photos app crashes when trying to edit a picture after using the camera

Question

I was using this code to take a picture and the editing it, but now, the new Photos app crashes.

private Uri cameraImagePath;
private void takePhoto() {
    Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    ContentValues values = new ContentValues(2);
    values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, IMAGE_MIME_TYPE);
    values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());

    cameraImagePath = getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
    takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, cameraImagePath);
    startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, TAKE_PHOTO_FROM_GALLERY);
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == TAKE_PHOTO_FROM_GALLERY && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
        intent.setType("image/*");
        intent.setData(cameraImagePath);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
        intent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, cameraImagePath);

        List<ResolveInfo> list = getApp().getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
        int size = list.size();
        if (size == 0) {
            cropPicture(selectedImage);
        } else {
            startActivityForResult(intent, EDIT_IMAGE);
        }
    }
}

Error is

Anyone having any issue after installing the new Photos app?

BTW, I'm also getting this error as soon as the Camera opens

Answer 1

Ok, so after thinking about which string could be null I found that when you call

intent.setData(uri);

the call makes type=null;

Looks like this wasn't a problem on the previous Photo app, but now you need to call

intent.setDataAndType(uri, type);

and that should fix the problem.

One side note:

When you set the OUTPUT to the Editor, you have to use a file Uri and not a content Uri (I don't remember this being a problem until now) and also sending the file Uri for the same camera picture didn't work for me, so I just removed the call to

intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, ...);

and everything works fine now
