Android capture image from Camera and Gallery

Hello Droid Friends,

Today , I am sharing the code for capture Image from Camera and Gallery . Actually
I found different behavior of Camera capture Intent and Gallery Intent on different
Android devices .

Here are the few issue I found while capturing Image from Camera and Gallery:
1. In some devices like Samsung  the Camera capture Intent returns
    data null or some time gallery Intent returns data null.
2. Android Camera : data intent returns null
3. Android camera capture activity returns null Uri
4. onActivityResult Camera resulting data as null (SAMSUNG)

I too faces all these issue, then I uses below code which works dine for me.

Code:.

1. MainActivity.java:
