The default Android camera application returns a non-null intent only when passing back a thumbnail in the returned Intent. If you pass EXTRA_OUTPUT
with a URI to write to, it will return a null
intent and the picture is in the URI that you passed in.
You can verify this by looking at the camera app’s source code on GitHub:
-
Bundle newExtras = new Bundle(); if (mCropValue.equals("circle")) { newExtras.putString("circleCrop", "true"); } if (mSaveUri != null) { newExtras.putParcelable(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mSaveUri); } else { newExtras.putBoolean("return-data", true); }
I would guess that you’re either passing in EXTRA_OUTPUT
somehow, or the camera app on your phone works differently.
