I found a pretty simple way to do this   Use a button to open it using an on click listener to start the function openc    like this   String fileloc  private void openc         Intent takePictureIntent   new Intent MediaStore ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE       File f   null      try                f   File createTempFile  temppic    jpg  getApplicationContext   getCacheDir             if  takePictureIntent resolveActivity getPackageManager       null                                       takePictureIntent putExtra MediaStore EXTRA OUTPUT FileProvider getUriForFile profile this  BuildConfig APPLICATION ID   provider  f                fileloc   Uri fromFile f                  Log d  texts    openc    fileloc               startActivityForResult takePictureIntent  3                        catch  IOException e                 e printStackTrace              Override protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data         super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data       if requestCode    3  amp  amp  resultCode    RESULT OK            Log d  texts    onActivityResult    fileloc              fileloc is the uri of the file so do whatever with it           You can do whatever you want with the uri location string   For instance  I send it to an image cropper to crop the image

It took me some hours to get this working  The code it s almost a copy-paste from developer android com  with a minor difference   Request this permission on the AndroidManifest xml    lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE    gt    On your Activity  start by defining this   static final int REQUEST IMAGE CAPTURE   1  private Bitmap mImageBitmap  private String mCurrentPhotoPath  private ImageView mImageView    Then fire this Intent in an onClick   Intent cameraIntent   new Intent MediaStore ACTION IMAGE CAPTURE   if  cameraIntent resolveActivity getPackageManager       null           Create the File where the photo should go     File photoFile   null      try           photoFile   createImageFile          catch  IOException ex               Error occurred while creating the File         Log i TAG   IOException                 Continue only if the File was successfully created     if  photoFile    null            cameraIntent putExtra MediaStore EXTRA OUTPUT  Uri fromFile photoFile            startActivityForResult cameraIntent  REQUEST IMAGE CAPTURE             Add the following support method   private File createImageFile   throws IOException          Create an image file name     String timeStamp   new SimpleDateFormat  yyyyMMdd HHmmss   format new Date         String imageFileName    JPEG     timeStamp            File storageDir   Environment getExternalStoragePublicDirectory              Environment DIRECTORY PICTURES       File image   File createTempFile              imageFileName      prefix               jpg              suffix             storageDir         directory                Save a file  path for use with ACTION VIEW intents     mCurrentPhotoPath    file     image getAbsolutePath        return image      Then receive the result    Override protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        if  requestCode    REQUEST IMAGE CAPTURE  amp  amp  resultCode    RESULT OK            try               mImageBitmap   MediaStore Images Media getBitmap this getContentResolver    Uri parse mCurrentPhotoPath                mImageView setImageBitmap mImageBitmap             catch  IOException e                e printStackTrace                        What made it work is the MediaStore Images Media getBitmap this getContentResolver    Uri parse mCurrentPhotoPath    which is different from the code from developer android com  The original code gave me a FileNotFoundException

Try the following I found Here s a link  If your app targets M and above and declares as using the CAMERA permission which is not granted  then attempting to use this action will result in a SecurityException   EasyImage openCamera Activity activity  int type     Override protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data        EasyImage handleActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data  this  new DefaultCallback              Override         public void onImagePickerError Exception e  EasyImage ImageSource source  int type                  Some error handling                     Override         public void onImagesPicked List lt File gt  imagesFiles  EasyImage ImageSource source  int type                  Handle the images             onPhotosReturned imagesFiles
