    <p>So, this question has been asked in many forms on this forum but none of the answers are helping me. I have a bug which I've only been able to reproduce on the Samsung Galaxy S3.</p> <p>I want to simply take and store a photo using the phone's camera, but my Activity is being destroyed before I ever hear back from onActivityResult. This ONLY happens when I use the camera in portrait mode, in landscape mode it's fine.</p> <p>I'm using this code to launch the camera:</p> <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); startActivityForResult(intent, Config.ACTIVITY_TAKE_PHOTO); </code></pre> <p>In portrait mode, I never see a call to onActivityResult (from the Camera activity), I just see an onDestroy() called in my launching activity. There are no exceptions or errors in the log, and nothing obviously wrong to make it crash.</p> <p>I've seen posts that recommend adding "android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"" to the Manifest, and doing lots of other things to manage the orientation change that occurs when using the camera, but nothing has helped so far.</p> <p>Has anyone else solved this problem?</p>

    1. COhttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html#setDisplayOrientation(int). You can set the display orientation. I have a galaxy s3 i used the code on the developer site. I cannot replicate the problem you are facing. However i faced a different problem, the dispaly orientation was portrait, image was captured but the saved image was rotated.

    2. COYou should read this discussion and also realise that if you see onDestroy(), Android did not kill your process. Something else did. Please do read, and absorb, the Activity life cycle documentation and also realise that `android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden` is a hack that hides many sins (bugs) unless you truly understand it. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-platform/x72BabVtWcQ

    3. COSimon, do you have any advice for how to get more info surrounding the onDestroy() of my activity? Is there anything I can do to print out a more detailed stack trace leading up to it?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
