Camera Force Closing issue in Samsung Galaxy S3 version 4.1.1

Question

I want to capture image and save it in Image view in one of My Application. I already have an idea how to implement it and also Works fine in all device Except Samsung Galaxy S3.

What I Want: Avoid the Force Closing Issue Coming in Samsung Galaxy S3 and probably for all other Device which i have not yet tested.

What I have Done: I have Done the Below Code to achieve my goal.

I have searched for this issue in Many SO link but do not quite get any solution worked for me. Please Help me to get out of this.

I would like to make a note here that I do not have a real device for testing this issue.
But my client has this issue on a real device. I have made an emulator which is the same as S3 and its working with no worries in every scenarios.
I do not know why this is happening only on the real device.

Thanks in Advance

EDITED : iI have solved the above issue by modifying the below code and put as an answer. You can have a look after reading the question.

@GabeSechan: Thnks for your Support. but as i have said that i do not have real device.and i am not getting any error while capturing image in emulator and in any real device which i have. but Client having issue while capturing image only in samsung galaxy S3. – Ornas

Just look at these code String fileName = _path; File file = new File(fileName); if(!file.exist()) file.createNewFile(); It will surely solve your problems. You have to make file before passing its Uri to Camera Intent. Try this and let me know what happen.. – Python

Look at #14296406 – Python

@Bhavesh: If users have submitted the Force Close report/s, you can grab them from the Developer Console. – Haily

@Bhavesh: If you want someone to try and run this, post your whole project somewhere and link it. I'll run it on an S3 for you and let you know what happens. – Terbium

I have Found the Answer and Put here as an Answer. everyone can try it out once if it helps you. thanks all for your very well supports. – Ornas

Answer 1

I have Spent many Hours for this Single Issue and Got the Code Working in Most of the Devices With Modifying the Code as Below :

Any one having the Same issue in future can try out the Below Code.

While Calling intent for Image Capture :

String storageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();

                    if (storageState.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
                        Intent intent = new Intent(
                                MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

                        String filename = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
                        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, filename);
                        mImageCaptureUri = getContentResolver().insert(
                                MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                                values);

                        intent.putExtra(
                                android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                                mImageCaptureUri);


                        try {

                            startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FROM_CAMERA);
                        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    } else {
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(BuildInukshk_4_Camera.this)
                                .setMessage(
                                        "External Storeage (SD Card) is required.\n\nCurrent state: "
                                                + storageState)
                                .setCancelable(true).create().show();
                    }

                } else { // pick from file
                    Intent intent = new Intent();

                    intent.setType("image/*");
                    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

                    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
                            "Complete action using"), PICK_FROM_FILE);
                }

Inside OnActivityResult Method :

case PICK_FROM_CAMERA:
                Log.i("TAG", "Inside PICK_FROM_CAMERA");

                // Final Code As Below
                try {

                                                                                    // mini's

                    // to

                    try {

                } catch (Exception e) {

                            "URI Samsung:" + mImageCaptureUri_samsung.getPath());

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.i("TAG", "Excfeption inside Samsung URI :" + e.toString());
                }

                try {

                    Log.i("TAG", "URI Normal:" + mImageCaptureUri.getPath());
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.i("TAG", "Excfeption inside Normal URI :" + e.toString());
                }



                break;

After Running Below Code you Will get Two URIs mImageCaptureUri_samsung and mImageCaptureUri

you will get the mImageCaptureUri as your Path if you are running the App with Simple Devices and you will get your Cpatured Image path in mImageCaptureUri_samsung if you are running with Devices Like Samsung Galaxy S3.

Further you all can go ahead with your Code. it Works For me Very Fine With all the Devices i have tested on.

Also if Someone is having Problem with Above Code than they can reference the Below Great Link Solution of Samsung Galaxy S3

Hope it will Help.

Ornas

Thank you, but you posted something like 500 lines of code here. Can you do anything to pinpoint the specific issue and fix? – Levitate

@Levitate :Thnks for your Suggestions. I have Updated my Answer Now . – Ornas

I read through the code and reference you gave. Where/how do test to determine which URI to use (mImageCaptureUri vs. mImageCaptureUri_samsung)? – Levitate

@gcl1: after capturing the Picture you just have to check whether 'mImageCaptureUri_samsung==null' or Not? and if yes than only you will have to Use 'mImageCaptureUri' URI. I hope its been Clear to you. let me know if you are still having any kind of Problem. – Ornas

@Bhavesh I am stuck on the same issue. Can you please help me on this? – Stricken

@Korhan: Yes Sure. what is the Problem you are facing? – Ornas

@Bhavesh I am unable to port this code according to my present code. I am sure you can easily get this by looking at my code? Would you mind coming to one of the Stack Overflow chat rooms or should I do anything to show my code? – Stricken

Sure. we can extend our talk chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/19132/java-and-android-era – Ornas

@Bhavesh can you please help me with my code too. I am dealing with multiple photos. it works fine with other phones but having problem with samsung galaxy S3. – Cheslie
