I am using this piece of code try it out : 

/**
 * This method is used to start the camera activity and save the image taken as the imagename passed 
 * 
 * @param imagename : this is the name of the image which will be saved 
 */
private void clickPicture(String imagename) {
    Intent getCameraImage = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
    File cameraFolder;
    if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
        cameraFolder = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"myfolder/");
    else
        cameraFolder= context.getCacheDir();
    if(!cameraFolder.exists())
        cameraFolder.mkdirs();
    String imageFileName = imagename;
    File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "myfolder/" + imageFileName);
    getCameraImage.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
    Uri.fromFile(photo);
    startActivityForResult(getCameraImage, 1);

}

and add the permisson in your manifest file :

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" ></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

To access the device camera, you must declare the CAMERA permission in your Android Manifest

Maybe you didn't added the necessary permissions in the manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

Also I would suggest you to go over this blog post I wrote on this topic of taking a picture using the build-in Camera Activity:
