outputFileUri returns null?

[L Vasquez]

For some reason outputFileUri returns null in my onActivityResult:

    Uri selectedImageUri;
    if (isCamera) {
        selectedImageUri = outputFileUri;

I don't understand why. Please take a look at my code and see where I go wrong. I let the user take 4 images by choosing from gallery or using the camera. The ones that the user takes with the camera won't show presumably because their uri is null. outputFileUri is a class variable!

`takePictureIntent()`:

   

private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
                // Create the File where the photo should go
                File photoFile = null;
                try {
                    photoFile = createImageFile();
                    outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(photoFile);
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    Log.w("error","IOException");
                }catch (NullPointerException nullEx) {
                    Log.w("error","NullPointerException");
                }
                // Camera.
                final List<Intent> cameraIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
                final Intent captureIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                final PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
                final List<ResolveInfo> listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(captureIntent, 0);
                for (ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
                    final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
                    final Intent intent = new Intent(captureIntent);
                    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
                    intent.setPackage(packageName);
                    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
                    cameraIntents.add(intent);
                }
                // Filesystem.
                final Intent galleryIntent = new Intent();
                galleryIntent.setType("image/*");
                galleryIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
                // Chooser of filesystem options.
                final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "Select Source");
                // Add the camera options.
                chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, cameraIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[cameraIntents.size()]));
                if(id.equals(HAPPY_ID))
                    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_HAPPY_PHOTO);
                if(id.equals(SURPRISED_ID))
                    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_SURPRISED_PHOTO);
                if(id.equals(AFRAID_ID))
                    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_AFRAID_PHOTO);
                if(id.equals(UPSET_ID))
                    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_UPSET_PHOTO);
                if(id.equals(SAD_ID))
                    startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_SAD_PHOTO);
            }
        }
    }

`onActivityResult()`:

 

 @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                if (requestCode == REQUEST_HAPPY_PHOTO || requestCode == REQUEST_SURPRISED_PHOTO || requestCode == REQUEST_AFRAID_PHOTO ||
                        requestCode == REQUEST_UPSET_PHOTO || requestCode == REQUEST_SAD_PHOTO) {
                    final boolean isCamera;
                    if (data == null) {
                        isCamera = true;
                    } else {
                        final String action = data.getAction();
                        if (action == null) {
                            isCamera = false;
                        } else {
                            isCamera = action.equals(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                        }
                    }
                    Uri selectedImageUri;
                    if (isCamera) {
                        selectedImageUri = outputFileUri;
                    } else {
                        selectedImageUri = data == null ? null : data.getData();
                    }
                    //Log.d("doing ids", "right before id");
                    //Log.d("doing ids", "id is " + id);
                    if(requestCode == REQUEST_HAPPY_PHOTO) {
                        //Log.d("doing ids", "in happy");
                        happyList.add(selectedImageUri);
                    }
                    if(requestCode == REQUEST_SURPRISED_PHOTO) {
                        //Log.d("doing ids", "in surprised");
                        surprisedList.add(selectedImageUri);
                    }
                    if(requestCode == REQUEST_AFRAID_PHOTO) {
                        //Log.d("doing ids", "in surprised");
                        afraidList.add(selectedImageUri);
                    }
                    if(requestCode == REQUEST_UPSET_PHOTO) {
                        //Log.d("doing ids", "in surprised");
                        upsetList.add(selectedImageUri);
                    }
                    if(requestCode == REQUEST_SAD_PHOTO) {
                        //Log.d("doing ids", "in surprised");
                        sadList.add(selectedImageUri);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

My createImageFile():

   

private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
        // Create an image file name
        String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
        String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp;
        File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
        File image = File.createTempFile(
                imageFileName,  /* prefix */
                ".jpg",         /* suffix */
                storageDir      /* directory */
        );

        // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
        mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
        return image;
    }

How are you trying to debug the code to see what it is doing?  I don't see any print statements to display the values of variables as they are used and given values.
