java.lang.NullPointerException: uri when Targeting API 33+ Camera / Image app

Question

I have an app that uses a camera function to take image, or open existing library photo - the latter works fine, but the camera function, once the photo is taken, crashes out with a uri error, here is some of the code I believe can help identify the issue (hopefully!)

The error in logcat is java.lang.NullPointerException: uri

Methods to take photo to use are;

public void takePhotoFromCamera() {
    try {
        startActivityForResult(this.imageCaptureManager.dispatchTakePictureIntent(), 1);
    } catch (IOException | ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}



public Intent dispatchTakePictureIntent() throws IOException {
        Uri uri;
        Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
        if (intent.resolveActivity(this.mContext.getPackageManager()) != null) {
            File createImageFile = createImageFile();
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24) {
                uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this.mContext.getApplicationContext(), this.mContext.getApplicationInfo().packageName + ".provider", createImageFile);
            } else {
                uri = Uri.fromFile(createImageFile);
            }
            if (uri != null) {
                intent.putExtra("output", uri);
            }
        }
        return intent;
    }

public ImageCaptureManager(Context context) {
    this.mContext = context;
}

public File createImageFile() throws IOException {
    String str = "JPEG_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.ENGLISH).format(new Date()) + ".jpg";
    File externalStoragePublicDirectory = mContext.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    if (externalStoragePublicDirectory.exists() || externalStoragePublicDirectory.mkdir()) {
        File file = new File(externalStoragePublicDirectory, str);
        this.mCurrentPhotoPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
        return file;
    }
    Log.e("TAG", "Throwing Errors....");
    throw new IOException();
}
