Android: capture image intent, photo file size is zero bytes?

I'm following this tutorial http://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html to capture photos and save them to the external storage.

Images are captured and saved successfully but the image size file is zero bytes.

The strange thing is that I can still open the file with the stock gallery app, but when copying the image file to the PC, I can't open it with any image viewer.

What can be wrong here? I'm testing on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

OK, found what was wrong. I left the phone for a couple of hours and returned to check the files and surprisingly I found them with their proper files.

Not sure what's the reason for this, I tested the same code on a Samsung S3 and it worked fine, maybe this happens on slow old phones like the Galaxy Nexus.

Change the directory to save the captured images and copy the saved image and paste it in another directory in mobile itself.
