I need to get the bitmap, bytearray or base64 string of an image that I captured with the Android camera.

To start the capture I am using this.

Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
 // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
 if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) 
 // Create the File where the photo should go
 File photoFile = null;
 try 
 photoFile = createImageFile();
 catch (IOException ex) 
 // Error occurred while creating the File

 
 // Continue only if the File was successfully created
 if (photoFile != null) 
 Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(),
 "com.myapp.app.fileprovider",
 photoFile);
 takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
 startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
 
 

I am able to save the photo to the gallery using this

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 = image.getAbsolutePath();
 return image;
 

And this is what I have tried so far but the bitmap variable seem to stay null.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
 super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

 /*if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) 
 Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
 Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
 mImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
 mImageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
 */
 try 
 switch (requestCode) 

 case 1: 
 if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) 

 File file = new File(mCurrentPhotoPath);
 Toast.makeText(this, mCurrentPhotoPath, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Uri.fromFile(file));
 if (bitmap != null) 

 ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, byteArrayOutputStream);
 byte byteArray = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();

 String encoded = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
 Base = encoded;

 if (Base != "") 
 mCheck.setChecked(true);
 
 
 
 break;
 
 

 catch (Exception error) 
 error.printStackTrace();
 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
