Answer 1

First of all you need to understand that when you are getting an image using the camera activity this way you are getting a thumbnail version of the taken image. in order to get a full size image it has to be saved, you can take a look at this blog post I wrote on this matter for more information:

Use Camera Activity for Thumbnail and Full Size Image

Now for your question, I think that the best option would be to save this image to a file (described in the guide) and pass an extra to the following activity with the string path of the image.

Answer 2

There are many way to solve this problem. And here are 2 simple ways:

The first, you can read more about SharedPreferences

The second, you can putExtra bitmap from this Activity to another activity like this:

putExtra:

intent.putExtra(BITMAP_SHARED_KEY, yourBitmap);
startActivity(intent);

getBitmap which you've shared

Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra(BITMAP_SHARED_KEY); // BITMAP_SHARED_KEY = "bitmap_shared_key"

Answer 3

Simple Way Use this

1. First Activity

   Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), 
   R.drawable.men_icon);
   Bundle extras = new Bundle();
   Intent intent=new Intent(FirstActivity.class,SecondActivity.class);
   extras.putParcelable("Bitmap", bitmap);
   intent.putExtras(extras);
   startActivity(intent);
   

2. Second Activity

    ImageView iv_photo=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.iv_photo);
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.getParcelable("Bitmap");
    iv_photo.setImageBitmap(bmp);
