MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE Output is 0 Bytes-CodePudding

I am having issues capturing photos on a CAT S42 running Android 11. My code worked fine on older phones so I suspect it is an Android version thing. The following code creates the JPG file but it is always zero bytes:

    private void startCamera() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
            File mNewPhoto = new File(getFilesDir(), "data-input-image.jpg");
            mNewPhoto.delete();
            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(mNewPhoto));
            startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
        }
    }

I've been experimenting with using different save locations and permissions but I can't fix it.

I've got these permissions in my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_STATS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS" />

Do not use Uri.fromFile() to get an uri.

Instead use FileProvider.getUriForFile().

Uri fileProvider = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, getPackageName()   ".fileProvider", new File(filename));
