Android: Camera not closing after accepting taken picture

Question

we have a camera intent with an extra output. Code below:

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        System.out.println("onActivityResult called");
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == CAMERA_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
            StorageController.readCardImage(activity,activity.getCurrentCard().getUUID());
            mImageView.setImageBitmap(bm);

        }
    }
    public void startCamera(){
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(StorageController.createCardImageFile(activity, activity.getCurrentCard().getUUID())));
        startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CODE);

    }

The intent is starting (camera opening) and we are able to take a picture. But when we try to accept the taken picture (pressing check-button), the camera does not return to the starting activity. We are getting no errors.

What could possibly be the reason for this? Thanks for your answers.

What could possibly be the reason for this?

The camera app that you are testing with has bugs. This happens. ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE delegates to any one of hundreds of camera apps, based on device and user. Some of those apps' developers do not test ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE very well.

There is nothing that you can do about this, other than not use ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.
