TAKING SMALL PICTURE IMAGE

I am trying to use the camera intent ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE to retrieve
a small bitmap image that I can set to an imageview background on the
current running activity screen

Objective of code: User will be able to take a picture of an image
which will then be
displayed on the current activity screen in an "ImageView" box


Utilizing: ImageView Class, MediaStore Class, an intent to capture
image, Bitmap Factory class to convert file string to bitmap


Pseudo:

1.  Start Camera on top of current activity calling intent w/
ACTION_IMAGE CAPTURE
2.  Take Picture and place image to file
3.  Take file and store to bitmap (I have no clue what I'm doing
there)
4.  Set it to the background of the ImageView to the captured image


ISSUE: Biitmap bm IS NULL AFTER IMAGE IS ASSIGNED  The picture has
been saved to the phone, and that part is correct

I need someone to show me how I can set the background of imageNew
to
the stored image


<code>
        ImageView imageNew = (ImageView) findViewById
(R.id.ProductImageView);
         Intent imageCaptureIntent = new Intent
(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        // 1.
        startActivityForResult(imageCaptureIntent, 1);
        // 2.
        imageCaptureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                                                  Uri.fromFile(new
File ("NewImage")));
        // 3.
        Bitmap bm = null;
        bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("New_Image");
        // 4.
        imageNew.setImageBitmap(bm);
<code>
PS. I hope this code is helpful to others looking to do similar
           tasks with small returned images
