Handling result from Camera
 By adding onActivityResult() in your Activity:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {

// display image   
        Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) [Link]().get("data");
ImageView imageTakePic = (ImageView) findViewById([Link]);
[Link](thumbnail);
    }  
}
