Activity Result APIs (TakePicture() camera): Failure delivering result ResultInfo (App Crash)

Question

I have been struggling with the issue of having my activity being destroyed sometimes while taking a picture with the camera app., resulting in the below error and an app crash.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=null} to activity 
{com.example.myapp/com.example.myapp.activities.MyActivity}
 java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

I have followed the Google documentation on how to take a picture with the camera here. It still produced the above error after 3 or 4 trials.

I abandoned the old startActivityForResult method for the new Activity Result APIs, yet still the same problem exists.

The documentation here, specifically states the following:

When starting an activity for a result, it is possible (and, in cases of memory-intensive operations such as camera usage, almost certain) that your process and your activity will be destroyed due to low memory.

For this reason, the Activity Result APIs decouple the result callback from the place in your code where you launch the other activity. As the result callback needs to be available when your process and activity are recreated, the callback must be unconditionally registered every time your activity is created, even if the logic of launching the other activity only happens based on user input or other business logic.

Thus, it states that even if the activity is destroyed, the new Activity Result APIs handle this issue somehow.

Here's the code I am using now:

public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity{
private Uri photoURI;
private ImageView firstImage;
ActivityResultLauncher<Uri> intentActivityResultLauncher;

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.a_activity);
        firstImage = findViewById(R.id.imageView_camera_open_one);
        intentActivityResultLauncher=registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture(),
                result -> {
         if (firstImage != null && photoURI != null)
                    firstImage.setImageURI(photoURI);
                });
}

private void openCamera(int viewId) {
        Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
            File photoFile = null;
            try {
                photoFile = createImageFile();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Error).show();
            }

            if (photoFile != null) {
                photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
                        "com.example.android.fileprovider",
                        photoFile);
                takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
                        intentActivityResultLauncher.launch(photoURI);
                }
            }
        }
    }

 private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
        String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
        String imageFileName = "JPEG" + timeStamp;
        File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
        File image = File.createTempFile(imageFileName, ".jpg", storageDir);
        currentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
        return image;
    }
}

Adding android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" or fixing the activity to portrait, doesn't help.

Is there a proper fix for this?
