There is a solution to create file  on external cache dir or anywhere else  and put this file s uri as output extra to camera intent - this will define path where taken picture will be stored   Here is an example   File file  Uri fileUri  final int RC TAKE PHOTO   1       private void takePhoto             Intent intent   new Intent MediaStore ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE           file   new File getActivity   getExternalCacheDir                     String valueOf System currentTimeMillis        jpg            fileUri   Uri fromFile file           intent putExtra MediaStore EXTRA OUTPUT  fileUri           getActivity   startActivityForResult intent  RC TAKE PHOTO                 Override     protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data            super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data            if  requestCode    RC TAKE PHOTO  amp  amp  resultCode    RESULT OK                       do whatever you need with taken photo using file or fileUri                                  Then if you don t need the file anymore  you can delete it using file delete     By the way  files from cache dir will be removed when user clears app s cache from apps settings

Here I updated the sample code in Kotlin  Please note on Nougat and above version Uri fromFile file  is not working and it crashes the app for that need to implement FileProvider which is safest way to send files from intent  For implementing this refer this answer or this article  private fun takePhotoFromCamera             val isDeviceSupportCamera  Boolean   this packageManager hasSystemFeature PackageManager FEATURE CAMERA          if  isDeviceSupportCamera                val takePictureIntent   Intent MediaStore ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE               if  takePictureIntent resolveActivity getPackageManager       null                    file   File getExternalFilesDir Environment DIRECTORY DOCUMENTS     attachments     path                          System currentTimeMillis   toString       jpg                 fileUri   Uri fromFile file                  fileUri   FileProvider getUriForFile this  this applicationContext packageName     provider   file                    takePictureIntent putExtra MediaStore EXTRA OUTPUT  fileUri                  if  Build VERSION SDK INT  lt   Build VERSION CODES LOLLIPOP                        takePictureIntent addFlags Intent FLAG GRANT WRITE URI PERMISSION                                    startActivityForResult takePictureIntent  Constants REQUEST CODE IMAGE CAPTURE                           else               Toast makeText this  this getString R string camera not supported   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                    override fun onActivityResult requestCode  Int  resultCode  Int  data  Intent             super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data          if  resultCode    Activity RESULT OK                 if requestCode    Constants REQUEST CODE IMAGE CAPTURE                    realPath   file  path                    do what ever you want to do

Try like this  Pass Camera Intent like below  Intent intent   new Intent this   startActivityForResult intent  REQ CAMERA IMAGE     And after capturing image Write an OnActivityResult as below  protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data          if  requestCode    CAMERA REQUEST  amp  amp  resultCode    RESULT OK            Bitmap photo    Bitmap  data getExtras   get  data             imageView setImageBitmap photo           knop setVisibility Button VISIBLE                CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE URI FROM THE BITMAP         Uri tempUri   getImageUri getApplicationContext    photo               CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE ACTUAL PATH         File finalFile   new File getRealPathFromURI tempUri             System out println mImageCaptureUri              public Uri getImageUri Context inContext  Bitmap inImage        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes   new ByteArrayOutputStream        inImage compress Bitmap CompressFormat JPEG  100  bytes       String path   Images Media insertImage inContext getContentResolver    inImage   Title   null       return Uri parse path      public String getRealPathFromURI Uri uri        String path           if  getContentResolver      null            Cursor cursor   getContentResolver   query uri  null  null  null  null           if  cursor    null                cursor moveToFirst                int idx   cursor getColumnIndex MediaStore Images ImageColumns DATA               path   cursor getString idx               cursor close                        return path      And check log  Edit   Lots of people are asking how to not get a thumbnail  You need to add this code instead for the getImageUri method   public Uri getImageUri Context inContext  Bitmap inImage        Bitmap OutImage   Bitmap createScaledBitmap inImage  1000  1000 true       String path   MediaStore Images Media insertImage inContext getContentResolver    OutImage   Title   null       return Uri parse path       The other method Compresses the file  You can adjust the size by changing the number 1000 1000

Try this method to get path of original image captured by camera   public String getOriginalImagePath             String   projection     MediaStore Images Media DATA            Cursor cursor   getActivity   managedQuery                  MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                  projection  null  null  null           int column index data   cursor                  getColumnIndexOrThrow MediaStore Images Media DATA           cursor moveToLast             return cursor getString column index data           This method will return path of the last image captured by camera  So this path would be of original image not of thumbnail bitmap
