Title Body

Adding file path extra to image capture intent causes camera app to malfunction on TF300t Android tablet with stock system version 4.2.1. Pressing "done" button does nothing - not even closing camera app activity. No result is returned. The code I'm using was extracted from Adroid developers site Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); File imageFile = createImageFile(); cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(imageFile)); startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, THIS_CAMERA_REQUEST); With createImageFile() defined as: private File createImageFile() throws IOException { File outputDir = getBaseContext().getCacheDir(); String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date()); String imageFileName = "photo_" + timeStamp + "_"; File image = new File(outputDir, imageFileName); return image; } When line cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(imageFile)); is removed, camera app acts as expected. Is there any resonable workaround ? I would rather not build a camera app myself just to take a photo.
