Take and save photo to network folder Android

I spend +50h in this and I cant find a solution, need some help.
I'm trying to take a photo and save it on NAS folder.
I actually can connect to NAS from Android and create a folder but cant get the photo from camera to copy it on NAS.
Method to open the camera.
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getApplication().getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
if (photoFile != null) {
photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(),
"p.cristian.sealed.provider",
photoFile);
deleteFile(photoFile.getName());
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
// takePictureIntent.putExtra("picname", photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
photoFile.deleteOnExit();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("ERROR", ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
String imageFileName = "IMG";
File storageDir =
getApplication().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = null;
image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName,
".jpg",
storageDir
);
currentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}

I tested a lot of stackoverflow answers but never got the correct one in my case :(
Some site answers tested from:
Android Camera Intent: how to get full sized photo?
Get file path of image on Android
How to get path of picture in onActivityresult (Intent data is null)
Android doc, and much more sites..
EDIT - GOT THE SOLUTION
private void algo(String rutaImagenACopiar){
SmbFileOutputStream out = null;
try {
NtlmPasswordAuthenticator auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthenticator("MyDomain", "myUser", "MyPass");
File file = new File(rutaImagenACopiar);
String fileName = file.getName();
SmbFile smbFile = new SmbFile("smb://" + auth.getUserDomain() + ";" + auth.getUsername() + ":" + auth.getPassword() + "#" + "192.168.1.50/NAS/Software/" + fileName);
if (!smbFile.exists()) {
smbFile.createNewFile();
//smbFile.mkdirs();
}
smbFile.connect();
InputStream inNew = new FileInputStream(file);
SmbFileOutputStream outNew = new SmbFileOutputStream(smbFile);
byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
int len;
while ((len = inNew.read(buf)) > 0) {
outNew.write(buf, 0, len);
}
inNew.close();
outNew.close();
}
Now I just need to get the correct buffer size

Can not take a picture using registerForActivityResult

I want to to use registerForActivityResult to take a photo. Whenever I take a picture and tap the confirm button the result code is always 0. here is my codes:
Uri mImageUri;
ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> mCameraLauncher = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(), result -> {
// ---> Here the result code is always 0 <----
Intent data = result.getData();
if (result.getResultCode() == RESULT_OK && data != null) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mImageUri.toString());
}
});
public void launchCamera() {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File tempDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath(),
APP_NAME + File.separator + "Temp");
if (!tempDir.exists()) {
tempDir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(tempDir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + "tempImage");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 24) {
mImageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} else {
mImageUri = Uri.parse(file.getPath());
}
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageUri);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
mCameraLauncher.launch(intent);
}

How can I solve this problem?

Can't upload canvas image to server using retrofit

I'm trying to send an image that has been created using Canvas. there is no problem with the image and it can be displayed in ImageView.
this is the error I get:
D/onFailure: /storage/emulated/0/sign_3.png: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I got the error even though I got permission to write and read external storage. where I found out from the following logs:
V/ContentValues: Permission is granted
this is my code to send the image:
mainactivityBinding.ivSignature.invalidate();
BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable)
mainactivityBinding.ivSignature.getDrawable();
Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
if(isStoragePermissionGranted()){
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root);
myDir.mkdirs();
String fname = "sign_"+ Preferences.getKeyIdLogin(getBaseContext()) +".png";
file = new File (myDir, fname);
if (file.exists ()) file.delete ();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
};
}
String token = Preferences.getKeyTokenLogin(getBaseContext());
RequestBody postToken = RequestBody.create(okhttp3.MultipartBody.FORM, token);
RequestBody reqFile = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("image/*"), file);
MultipartBody.Partbody = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("upload", file.getName(), reqFile);
Call<ResponseSign> call =getApi().postSign(postToken, body);
call.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseSign>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<ResponseSign> call, Response<ResponseSign> response) {
String message = response.body().getMessage();
Log.d("RESPON", "onResponse: " + message);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<ResponseEditProfil> call, Throwable t) {
String message = response.body().getMessage();
Log.d("RESPON", "onResponse: " + message);
}
});
this is the code for the given storage permission:
public boolean isStoragePermissionGranted() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
} else {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is revoked");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
return false;
}
}
else { //permission is automatically granted on sdk<23 upon installation
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if(grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
Log.v(TAG,"Permission: "+permissions[0]+ "was "+grantResults[0]);
//resume tasks needing this permission
}
}
this is my Retrofit Interface:
#Multipart
#POST("postSign")
Call<ResponseSign> postSign(#Part("token") RequestBody token,
#Part MultipartBody.Part image);
this is the contents of my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I tried this app on android 11.
what should I do so that the image can be sent to the server? does the image really have to be saved in a file? or it can be sent directly without having to save to a file?
it's my first time trying to upload an image to the server, so sorry if there are some basics I don't understand.
Thank you.

I know where I went wrong, I should have checked whether my device has external memory or not.
If the device does not have external memory, the file will be stored on the internal memory.
if you want to know how to check internal and external memory you can see here:
how to check internal and external storage if exist

"No Activity found to handle Intent" error when trying to save picture to external storage in Android Java

I am trying to save a picture to external storage from a MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent.
I keep getting this error:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE dat=content://ca.kevincook.trackmytrip.fileprovider/DCIM/default_image.jpg flg=0x3 clip={text/uri-list U:content://ca.kevincook.trackmytrip.fileprovider/DCIM/default_image.jpg} (has extras) }
Here is my code:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File imagePath = new File(getContext().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "");
File newFile = new File(imagePath, "default_image.jpg");
Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), "ca.kevincook.trackmytrip.fileprovider", newFile);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, contentUri);
intent.setData(contentUri);
getContext().grantUriPermission("ca.kevincook.trackmytrip", contentUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
getContext().grantUriPermission("ca.kevincook.trackmytrip", contentUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
onActivityResult method:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, #Nullable Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 0)
{
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
Uri uri = data.getData();
GalleryAdapter.addImage(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(uri.toString()));
}
}
SaveImagePopup("Enter Picture Name");
}
Activity declaration in manifest file:

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Permissions in manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_public_path" path="." />
</paths>
I copied the code exactly from the android developer website:
https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/content/FileProvider
I used getContext() because I'm running it from a fragment. I also tried getActivity() in its place, but that didn't work.

Have you added the file provided in the manifest? If not Use it in this way
<provider
android:name=".fileprovider"
android:authorities="com.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx" //Your package name
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" />
and can handle in on the activity result
The code in onActivityResult will be like this,
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CAMERA && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
File out = new File(getFilesDir(), "newImage.jpg");
if (!out.exists()) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Error while capturing image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
Bitmap mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(compressedImage.getAbsolutePath());
ivShowImage.setImageBitmap(mBitmap);
}
}

First, in your metadata, change external-file-path to external-files-path, adding the missing s.
Second, /storage/sdcard0/images1502651207040.png will not match that repaired metadata. The metadata is expecting you to be using getExternalFilesDir(), and specifically a Pictures directory under there. Your path does not resemble that.

According to the documentation:
<external-path name="name" path="path" />
Represents files in the root
of the external storage area. The root path of this subdirectory is
the same as the value returned
byEnvironment.getExternalStorageDirectory().
You are calling a reference from your external storage root (/storage/sdcard0) but you need to reference your package root at /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/your.package.name/Pictures instead.
