android camera: onActivityResult() intent is null | android camera data.getData()==null

Hi Friends,

Today I am sharing code for camera crash in android. Its happen in case if your data is null inside onActivityResult(). For this issue I created a temporary file path and then save captured image on that location and after that inside onActivityResult() we get the URI form that path. Try below code, hope it will help you- 

1)MainActivity.java
