This is my src main.java
package com.example.mojoo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class main extends Activity {
ImageView iv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
iv=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Bitmap bm = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
iv.setImageBitmap(bm);
}
}
Edit For some references to the issue, I’m adding xml

Solution
Your b appears empty. Make sure that the button ID in the following statement is correct.
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
