Monodroid Сделать снимок с помощью камеры

Я знаю, что это довольно старый вопрос, но я отвечу на него своим кодом, который я использовал. По моему опыту работы с этим, не все устройства могут использовать стандартное намерение и возвращать данные обратно в файл OnActivityResult.

private void TakePicture()
    {          
        if (PackageManager.HasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FeatureCamera))
        {
            var intent = new Intent(Android.Provider.MediaStore.ActionImageCapture);
            var file = new File(Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryPictures), "PictureTHIS");
            if (!file.Exists())
            {
                if (!file.Mkdirs())
                {
                    Log.Debug(Constants.LOG_TAG, "Unable to create directory to save photos.");
                    return;
                }
            }
            _file = new File(file.Path + File.Separator + "IMG_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss") + ".jpg");
            intent.PutExtra(MediaStore.ExtraOutput, Uri.FromFile(_file));
            StartActivityForResult(intent, Constants.CAMERA_ACTIVITY);
        }
        else
        {
            Toast.MakeText(this, "This device does not have a camera, please select an image from another option.", ToastLength.Short).Show();
        }
    }

Я использовал это в качестве справки о том, как поступать с некоторыми устройствами, которые не возвращают намерение. http://kevinpotgieter.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/null-intent-passed-back-on-samsung-galaxy-tab/

      protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Intent data)
    {
        base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (resultCode == Result.Ok)
        {
    //checking for camera acitivy, my app allows both gallery and camera for retrieving pictures.
            if (requestCode == Constants.CAMERA_ACTIVITY)
            {                  
        //some devices do not pass back an intent so your data could be null
                if (data != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(data.DataString))
                {
        //full uri to where the image is on the device.
        Android.Net.Uri.Parse(data.DataString);
                }
                else
                {
                    //issue where some devices don't pass back correct data from the intent.
                    var uris = GetImagePathFromCamera();
                    if (uris == null)

                            date = exif.GetAttribute(ExifInterface.TagDatetime);
