Unable to resume activity on onActivityResult when ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent returns on landscape camera orientation

Question

I searched a lot before writing the question. I have an Intent to pick an image from the camera with extra_output to store in the Uri

When the image is caught in portrait and / or without automatic rotation works perfectly. However if you are in landscape and automatic rotation SOME models gives me error.

My Intent code:

Intent camera = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
camera.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(imageFile));
startActivityForResult(camera, REQUEST_CAMERA);

My onActivityResult fragment code:

 @Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    ImageView imageFoto = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageIncidenciaDetail);
    imatgeOriginal = null;

    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CAMERA && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        //if(imageFile != null)
        imatgeOriginal = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());

I actually have two different errors:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity     {com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo/com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo.incidencia_detail}:     java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=null} to activity {com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo/com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo.incidencia_detail}:    java.lang.NullPointerException

And

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1,   result=-1, data=null} to activity     {com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo/com.vicopo.com.lapoblainfo.incidencia_detail}:  java.lang.NullPointerException

And Android Manifest activity code:

<activity
        android:name=".incidencia_detail"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_incidencia_detail"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:configChanges="orientation"
        >

I can do an if and and check that the image is not null. If I do that app not crash, but the image is null.

Save the imageFile path on the saveInstanceState(Bundle out) of your Activity and restore the imageFile at the onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState), if savedInstanceState != null. You may need to store the imageFile as a String in order to save it to the Bundle.
