somebody come to my rescue.
I am building an android application that require taking a picture from the device camera and loading the thumbnail into an ImageView, note that I don't want to save this image, I only want to load it into an ImageView and get bitmap drawable from the ImageView later.

This is what I have Implemented:
To launch the camera:

Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

        if(cameraIntent.resolveActivity(activityWeakReference.get().getPackageManager()) != null){

startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, UPLOAD_PICTURE_CAMERA);

}

Below is onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) invoked when startActivityForResult() is called:

@Override

    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == UPLOAD_PICTURE_CAMERA) {

try{

                    Bundle extras = data.getExtras();

                    Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");

                    imageViewphoto.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);



                }catch (Exception e){

                    Log.e(TAG, Utility.stringify(e));

                }

}

The Problem:
The above code works well up to android 7.0, but on Oreo 8.1, the activity closes immediately the Camera is opened so onActivityResult() is not called.

This is all the log I could get:

I/PhoneWindow: isNeedChangeStatusBarColor taskInfo: [android.app.ActivityManager$RunningTaskInfo@c7a24ee] size: 1

    isAPPNeedChangeSBColor pkgName: com.a3lineng.softwaredev.freedom_app needKeep: false

    Increasing code cache capacity to 2MB

D/BaseActivity: On Stop is called

Who is facing the same issue on Oreo?, any advice would be appreciated.
