Null URI on API level >=23 camera intent [duplicate]

Answer 1

At least for older versions, if multiple selection is allowed (Intent#EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE), URIs will be returned as clipboard data:

data.getClipData()

See Intent#getClipData() and ClipData.

Check if data is being returned there:

ClipData clipData = data.getClipData();
Uri selectedImage = null;
if (clipData != null) {
    selectedImage = clipData.getItemAt(0).getUri();
} else {
    selectedImage = data.getData();
}

Answer 2

 targetSdkVersion 21
 change your targetsdk version in build.gradle to marshmallow it will be solved. 

Answer 3

private static final int REQUEST_CODE_IMAGE = 1000;
private String importFileName = "";

private void cameraIntent() {
    importFileName = getString(R.string.app_name) + new Random().nextInt();
    startActivityForResult(getCameraIntent(context, importFileName), REQUEST_CODE_IMAGE);
}

public Intent getCameraIntent(Context context, String fileName) {
    Intent chooserIntent = null;
    List<Intent> intentList = new ArrayList<>();
    Intent takePhotoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    takePhotoIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
    takePhotoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION, context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation);
    takePhotoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new File(context.getExternalCacheDir(), fileName)));
    intentList = addIntentsToList(context, intentList, Collections.singletonList(takePhotoIntent));

    if (intentList.size() > 0) {
        String title = context.getResources().getString(R.string.choose);
        chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(intentList.remove(intentList.size() - 1), title);
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentList.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
    }
    return chooserIntent;
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch (requestCode) {
        case REQUEST_CODE_IMAGE:
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                onCaptureImageResult(data);
            }
            break;
    }
}

private void onCaptureImageResult(Intent data) {
    Uri imageUri;
    if (data == null) {
        imageUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(getExternalCacheDir(), importFileName));
    } else {
        imageUri = data.getData();
        if (imageUri == null)
            imageUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(getExternalCacheDir(), importFileName));
    }
}

If you get permissions (camera, read/write external storage permissions) from user, this code snippet will work correctly. You can call cameraIntent().

Answer 4

You are using ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE. ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE is not supposed to return a Uri via onActivityResult(). Instead, either:

• You provide EXTRA_OUTPUT on the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE Intent, in which case the image is supposed to be saved to that location (see this sample app), or

• You do not provide EXTRA_OUTPUT on the ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE Intent, in which case you get a thumbnail Bitmap back via the "data" extra on the Intent delivered to onActivityResult()

This is covered in the documentation.

Some buggy camera apps will return a Uri. Do not count on this behavior, as well-written camera apps will not.

Answer 5

Try this

Use both WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to read and write file

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera2" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Here ask to write permission & read permission add multiple permission

public void requestRuntimePermission() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
        }
    }
}

Check this Android 6.0 multiple permissions

//Check permission granted or not if granted then call this block

        Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
        String[] filePaths = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        Cursor c = this.getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, filePaths, null, null, null);
        c.moveToFirst();
        int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(filePaths[0]);
        filePath = c.getString(columnIndex);
        c.close();
