Intent is null while opening camera

Question

So i have a function to open camera and gallery and i have an image view to set that image and save it in room database. When i am selecting gallery everything works fine image is displayed in image view and also saved in room database but when i capture image from camera intent received in start activity result is null. hence data.data is also null

private fun imageChooser (activity: Activity) {
    val i = Intent ()
    i.type = "image/*"
    i.action = Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT

    activity.startActivityForResult(i, 0)
}


private fun displayCamera(activity: Activity) :Uri {
    lateinit var imagePath : Uri
    val destPath: String? = Objects.requireNonNull(
        Objects.requireNonNull(activity).getExternalFilesDir(null)!!
    ).absolutePath

    val imagesFolder = File(destPath, activity.resources.getString(R.string.app_name))
    try {
        imagesFolder.mkdirs()
        val imgFile = File(imagesFolder, Date().time.toString() + ".jpg")
        imagePath = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
            activity, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", imgFile
        )

        val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imagePath)
        activity.startActivityForResult(intent, 1)
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    }
    return imagePath
}

now code for start activity result

 
  @Deprecated ("Deprecated in Java")
    override fun onActivityResult (requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)

        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == 0) {
                val selectedImageUri = data?.data
                if (selectedImageUri != null) {
                    databinding.profileImage.setImageURI(selectedImageUri)
                    path = getPath(this, selectedImageUri).toString()
                }
            }
            if (requestCode == 1) {

                this.imagePath = Uri.parse(intent.getStringExtra(EXTRA_OUTPUT))
                path = data?.data.toString()
                databinding.profileImage.setImageURI(imagePath)
            }
        }
    }

You can do this by kotlin like this. You need to check the permission for camera and file storage. On Click of any button you can open camera and intent and capture image before capture you will need to create path for that image. like below:

 fun onIntentCamera(startActivityIntent: ActivityResultLauncher<Intent>) {

        if (allPermissionsGranted()) {

            try {
                val chooserIntent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
                captureFile = createImageFile(this@TIDProcessActivity)

                val photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                    this@TIDProcessActivity,
                    "com.example.fileprovider",
                    captureFile
                )

                chooserIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI)
                startActivityIntent.launch(chooserIntent)
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                Log.e("TAG", "onCreate: " + e.message)
            }

        } else {
            requestPermissions(
                REQUIRED_PERMISSIONS,
                REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSIONS
            )
        }

for the result of image you can do like this:

var startActivityIntentDbPath =
        registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) {
            if (this::captureFile.isInitialized) {
                val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(captureFile.absolutePath)
                if (bitmap != null) {
                    val fileName = System.currentTimeMillis().toString()
                    saveImageToDirectory(bitmap, fileName)

                    binding.selectedDbImagePath.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                    Glide.with(this).load(bitmap).into(binding.selectedDbImagePath)
                }
            }


        }
