Android camera photo comes back null

Question

In my android app I employ a camera activity which sometimes works and sometimes doesn\'t. About 30% of the time the uri set up to store the photo comes back with a null va

Thanks to CommonsWare I resolved the issue by implementing a onSaveInstance State. This should be required information on any android camera documentation as you lose the global variables whenever you change the camera's orientation.

       @Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Save the user's current game state
    savedInstanceState.putParcelable("myURI", imageUri);
    // Always call the superclass so it can save the view hierarchy state
    super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}

public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Always call the superclass so it can restore the view hierarchy
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    // Restore state members from saved instance
   imageUri = savedInstanceState.getParcelable("myURI");

}
