I am working on a address book like Android SDK 14+ app. The users should be able to pick an image from the Gallery to add it to a contact entry.
Running the following code to pick and copy the image is no problem in API 14-20 but does not work in API 21+. The file is not found anymore:
protected void pickFoto() {
if (filePermissionsRequired()) {
askForFilePermissions(new PermissionRequestCompletionHandler() {
#Override
public void onPermissionRequestResult(boolean permissionGranted) {
if (permissionGranted)
addOrEditReceipt();
}
});
return;
}
Intent pickPhotoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickPhotoIntent , PICK_FOTO_ACTION);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
...
case PICK_FOTO_ACTION: {
Uri imageUri = intent.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(imageUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
File imgFile = new File(filePath);
if (imgFile.exists())
// use the file...
else
Toast.makeText(this, "Image file not found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
}
public interface PermissionRequestCompletionHandler {
void onPermissionRequestResult(boolean permissionGranted);
}
private PermissionRequestCompletionHandler permissionRequestCompletionHandler;
public boolean filePermissionsRequired() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23)
return checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
else
return false;
}
public boolean askForFilePermissions(PermissionRequestCompletionHandler completionHandler) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
permissionRequestCompletionHandler = completionHandler;
boolean hasPermission = this.checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
if (!hasPermission) {
this.requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
return true;
}
}
permissionRequestCompletionHandler = null;
return false;
}
The app has runtime permissions to access the Gallery. So what am I doing wrong? How to access the file on newer API versions?
}
try below code to open the camera and getting result:
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/", "image" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FOTO_ACTION);
for getting result :
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PICK_FOTO_ACTION: {
Uri imageUri = imageUri;
File imgFile = new File(imageUri.getPath());
if (imgFile.exists())
// use the file...
else
Toast.makeText(this, "Image file not found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
}
}
for getting actual path from uri :
public String getPath(Uri uri)
{
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) return null;
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String s=cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
return s;
}
remove unwanted uri part :
public String RemoveUnwantedString(String pathUri){
//pathUri = "content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/-1/2/content://media/external/video/media/5213/ORIGINAL/NONE/2106970034"
String[] d1 = pathUri.split("content://");
for (String item1:d1) {
if (item1.contains("media/")) {
String[] d2 = item1.split("/ORIGINAL/");
for (String item2:d2) {
if (item2.contains("media/")) {
pathUri = "content://" + item2;
break;
}
}
break;
}
}
//pathUri = "content://media/external/video/media/5213"
return pathUri;
}
For versions 21 and higher you can do this , you need to add a condition to check the SDK version for this. Exectute this code in the API 21+ condition block.
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(imageUri );
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
cursor =
getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
try
{
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(column_index).toString();
cursor.close();
}
catch(NullPointerException e) {
}

To load image with glide, add following dependency in app gradle file
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
I'm making an App where I call the file explorer, the when I choose a file i get the name with file.getName() and put it in a TextView and get the path with file..getPath() and save it in a String, this String I use it to attach the file into a mail... my problem is that when a choose a file like .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .MP3 I can attach it but when a select an image I get this kind of path: "/media/external/images/media/1220" and does not attach anithing, I've been serarching everywhere and use almost every option I have found with no result.
Here is my code:
private void PickFile(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, PICKER);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((resultCode == RESULT_OK) && (requestCode == PICKER)) {
String FilePath = data.getData().getPath();
File file = new File(FilePath);
}
if (txtAdjunto1.getText() == "_") {
adjunto1 = file.getPath();// I get the path to add it to the MimeBodyPart
txtAdjunto1.setText(file.getName());// I put the name in the TextView
I've been trying this:
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
int column_index;
String ruta = null;
try {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null){
column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
ruta = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return ruta;
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
But the app crashes when I pick the file.
Also tried this:
file = new File(file.getAbsolutePath());
But still geting this "/media/external/images/media/1220"...
Hop someone can help me with this, and thanks in advance
ACTION_GET_CONTENT and ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT allow the user to choose a piece of content. That content might be a local file. That content might also be:
Something on a file server on the network
Something in a cloud storage service, such as Google Drive
Something in an encrypted volume
Something that is a file, but is not a file that you can access directly
And so on
You have two main options. If you only want files, then use a third-party file chooser library to replace all of the code in your question.
Or, you can take the Uri that you get from data.getData() in onActivityResult() and do two things with it:
First, use DocumentFile.fromSingleUri() to get a DocumentFile object pointing to that Uri. You can call getName() on the DocumentFile to get a "display name" for the content, which should be something that the user will recognize.
Then, use a ContentResolver and openInputStream() to get at the content itself, similar to how you might use a FileInputStream to get at the bytes in a file.
Try this...

So I implemented code to let me pick images from my filesystem using the default image picker in Android, but for some reason every image is greyed out. It's not letting me choose an image at all. I tested it on Marshmallow 6.0.1 (from where screenshot is taken) and on Lollipop 5.1.1.
Here's my implementation:
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.company.app.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Note that all of this has been done on the same activity, LaunchActivity.java
Variables as used:
private ImageView picturebutton;
private Bitmap imageBitmap;
final private int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE=1;
private int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
ImageView acting as button:
picturebutton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chose_picture);
View.OnClickListener picturebuttonClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
checkStorageReadPermission(LaunchActivity.this);
}
};
picturebutton.setOnClickListener(picturebuttonClickListener);
The method checkStorageReadPermission() which requests for storage access permission:
public void checkStorageReadPermission(final Context context){
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(LaunchActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(LaunchActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)){
}
else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(LaunchActivity.this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
}
}
else{
Log.d("Permissions","Permission was already granted");
startActivity(openGallery());
}
}
The override code for onRequestPermissionsResult():
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
startActivity(openGallery());
Log.d("Permissions","Can read storage");
} else {
//code for deny
Log.e("Permissions","Can't read storage");
}
break;
}
}
The intent openGallery() which calls the image picker:
public Intent openGallery() {
Intent og = new Intent();
og.setType("image*/");
og.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(og,"Pick a picture"),PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
return og;
}
The code to override onActivityResult() when the Intent is called:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(resultCode,requestCode,data);
if(requestCode==PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null){
Uri imageUri = data.getData();
try{
imageBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(),imageUri);
x.uploadImage(imageBitmap,LaunchActivity.this);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
There is no problem with the permission requesting process, the system permission dialog for external storage access comes up, gets granted and the picker opens up, but I can't select any image. Help will be appreciated!
Instead of startActivity(openGallery());,just call openGallery(); method. You are already launching the image picker in that method using startActivityForResilt, so you do not need startActivity() again. Also, remove the return statement from openGallery().
Also, you are setting the MIME type wrong. It should be image/*.
So, the updated one should be:
public void openGallery() {
Intent og = new Intent();
og.setType("image/*");
og.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(og,"Pick a picture"),PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
}
OnChoose Code
chooseimage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23){
boolean result= Utility.checkPermission(getActivity());
if(result) {
galleryIntent();
}
}
else {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
// Start new activity with the LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS to handle back the results when image is picked from the Image Gallery.
startActivityForResult(i,LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS); //LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS
}
}
});

If you cannot select one of the image in the list I think the problem is on the intent.
The intent openGallery() which calls the image picker:
public Intent openGallery() {
Intent og = new Intent();
og.setType("image*/");
og.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(og,"Pick a picture"),PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
return og;
}
actually I see that you made a mistake here
og.setType("image*/");
you should write ("image/*") or specify an extension like ("image/jpg") for example!
and actually you don't need for this operation of
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
as the ACTION_GET_CONTENT pick only the image Uri don't need for this permission
I have an onclick that will allow a user to select a file from gallery like so:
case R.id.ColourCustom:
customBorderChange();
break;
private void customBorderChange() {
final ImageView QPBackground = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.QPBackground);
menuHandler.removeCallbacks(menuTimer);
menuHandler.postDelayed(menuTimer, 5000);
bgHandler.removeCallbacks(runnableBG);
bgHandler.postDelayed(runnableBG, 2000);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, GALLERY_REQUEST);
File file = getFileStreamPath("QuickPlayBG.png");
if (file.exists()) {
QPBackground.setImageBitmap(getThumbnail("QuickPlayBG.png"));
} else {
String uri21 = "#drawable/bg_green";
int imageResource21 = getResources().getIdentifier(uri21, null, getPackageName());
QPBackground.setBackgroundResource(imageResource21);
}
}
This sends you here:
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
Uri selectedImageUri;
if (requestCode == GALLERY_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null !=
data) {
selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImageUri,
filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
cursor.close();
}
try {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap photo = extras.getParcelable("data");
saveBGFile(photo);
} catch (Exception e) {
String errorMessage = "Make your mind up mate!";
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
try {
saveQPConfig();
} catch (IOException e) {
String errorMessage = "Saving failed";
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
}
Which saves the file, using saveBGFile:
public void saveBGFile(Bitmap image) {
FileOutputStream out = null;
String filename = "QuickPlayBG.png";
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The issue is with this line only:
QPBackground.setImageBitmap(getThumbnail("QuickPlayBG.png"));
It doesn't load anything. If I change "QuickPlayBG.png" to another filename that I am using in another part of my app, it loads fine. Both files are created using the same method. I verified that "QuickPlayBG.png" exists.
Compiler gives me the following hint:
E/﹕ ReadStreamToBuffer : Qmage Stream read error!! required length 12 bytes, but red 0 bytes
E/﹕ isQmage : input SkStreamRewindable length is less than Qmage minimum size : 0
I think it has to do with the way I am saving the image, but I cannot see the fault myself. What could be the problem, that it is not loading the image?
Edit:
Here is the getThumbnail method I am using (works for another filename):
public Bitmap getThumbnail(String filename) {
final Context context = this;
String fullPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
Bitmap thumbnail = null;
if (thumbnail == null) {
try {
File filePath = context.getFileStreamPath(filename);
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(filePath);
thumbnail = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fi);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("getThumbnail() !exist", ex.getMessage());
}
}
return thumbnail;
}
Use this short and sweet code for this. use intent of gallery.
1.declaire variable.
private static int RESULT_IMG = 1;
String imgString;
2.call intent of gallery on onclick of button.
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMG);
3.onActivityResult to your code.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, responseCode, data);
try {
if (requestCode == RESULT_IMG && responseCode == RESULT_OK
&& null != data) {
Uri pickedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(pickedImage,
filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
imgString = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
//set bitmap to your imageview
ImageView imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgView);
imgView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgString));
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "please select picture",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "error message", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
}
I am trying to open an image / picture in the Gallery built-in app from inside my application.
I have a URI of the picture (the picture is located on the SD card).
Do you have any suggestions?
This is a complete solution. I've just updated this example code with the information provided in the answer below by #mad. Also check the solution below from #Khobaib explaining how to deal with picasa images.
Update
I've just reviewed my original answer and created a simple Android Studio project you can checkout from github and import directly on your system.
https://github.com/hanscappelle/SO-2169649
(note that the multiple file selection still needs work)
Single Picture Selection
With support for images from file explorers thanks to user mad.
public class BrowsePictureActivity extends Activity {
// this is the action code we use in our intent,
// this way we know we're looking at the response from our own action
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
findViewById(R.id.Button01)
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
/**
* helper to retrieve the path of an image URI
*/
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
// just some safety built in
if( uri == null ) {
// TODO perform some logging or show user feedback
return null;
}
// try to retrieve the image from the media store first
// this will only work for images selected from gallery
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if( cursor != null ){
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String path = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
return path;
}
// this is our fallback here
return uri.getPath();
}
}
Selecting Multiple Pictures
Since someone requested that information in a comment and it's better to have information gathered.
Set an extra parameter EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE on the intent:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
And in the Result handling check for that parameter:
if (Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE.equals(data.getAction()))
&& Intent.hasExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM)) {
// retrieve a collection of selected images
ArrayList<Parcelable> list = intent.getParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
// iterate over these images
if( list != null ) {
for (Parcelable parcel : list) {
Uri uri = (Uri) parcel;
// TODO handle the images one by one here
}
}
}
Note that this is only supported by API level 18+.
Here is an update to the fine code that hcpl posted. but this works with OI file manager, astro file manager AND the media gallery too (tested). so i guess it will work with every file manager (are there many others than those mentioned?). did some corrections to the code he wrote.
public class BrowsePicture extends Activity {
//YOU CAN EDIT THIS TO WHATEVER YOU WANT
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
//ADDED
private String filemanagerstring;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
((Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
//UPDATED
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
//OI FILE Manager
filemanagerstring = selectedImageUri.getPath();
//MEDIA GALLERY
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
//DEBUG PURPOSE - you can delete this if you want
if(selectedImagePath!=null)
System.out.println(selectedImagePath);
else System.out.println("selectedImagePath is null");
if(filemanagerstring!=null)
System.out.println(filemanagerstring);
else System.out.println("filemanagerstring is null");
//NOW WE HAVE OUR WANTED STRING
if(selectedImagePath!=null)
System.out.println("selectedImagePath is the right one for you!");
else
System.out.println("filemanagerstring is the right one for you!");
}
}
}
//UPDATED!
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor!=null)
{
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
else return null;
}
hcpl's methods work perfectly pre-KitKat, but not working with the DocumentsProvider API. For that just simply follow the official Android tutorial for documentproviders: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html -> open a document, Bitmap section.
Simply I used hcpl's code and extended it: if the file with the retrieved path to the image throws exception I call this function:
private Bitmap getBitmapFromUri(Uri uri) throws IOException {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
return image;
}
Tested on Nexus 5.
basis with the above code, I reflected the code like below, may be it's more suitable:
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String selectedImagePath;
//1:MEDIA GALLERY --- query from MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null){
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
selectedImagePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
}else{
selectedImagePath = null;
}
if(selectedImagePath == null){
//2:OI FILE Manager --- call method: uri.getPath()
selectedImagePath = uri.getPath();
}
return selectedImagePath;
}
I went through the solution from #hcpl & #mad. hcpl's solution supports well for local image in the gallery & mad provided a better solution on top of that - it helps to load OI/Astro/Dropbox image as well. But in my app, while working on picasa library that's now integrated in Android Gallery, both solution fail.
I searched & analyzed a bit & eventually have come with a better & elegant solution that overcomes this limitation. Thanks to Dimitar Darazhanski for his blog, that helped me in this case, I modified a bit to make it easier to understand. Here is my solution goes -
public class BrowsePicture extends Activity {
//YOU CAN EDIT THIS TO WHATEVER YOU WANT
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
//ADDED
private String filemanagerstring;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// in onCreate or any event where your want the user to
// select a file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
Log.d("URI VAL", "selectedImageUri = " + selectedImageUri.toString());
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
if(selectedImagePath!=null){
// IF LOCAL IMAGE, NO MATTER IF ITS DIRECTLY FROM GALLERY (EXCEPT PICASSA ALBUM),
// OR OI/ASTRO FILE MANAGER. EVEN DROPBOX IS SUPPORTED BY THIS BECAUSE DROPBOX DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE
// IN THIS FORM - file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/...
System.out.println("local image");
}
else{
System.out.println("picasa image!");
loadPicasaImageFromGallery(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
}
// NEW METHOD FOR PICASA IMAGE LOAD
private void loadPicasaImageFromGallery(final Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaColumns.DATA, MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
if (columnIndex != -1) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
// NEW THREAD BECAUSE NETWORK REQUEST WILL BE MADE THAT WILL BE A LONG PROCESS & BLOCK UI
// IF CALLED IN UI THREAD
public void run() {
try {
Bitmap bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
// THIS IS THE BITMAP IMAGE WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}).start();
}
}
cursor.close();
}
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaColumns.DATA);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
else
return uri.getPath(); // FOR OI/ASTRO/Dropbox etc
}
Check it & let me know if there's some issue with it. I have tested it & it works well in every case.
Hope this will help everyone.
Assuming you have an image folder in your SD card directory for images only.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
// tells your intent to get the contents
// opens the URI for your image directory on your sdcard
intent.setType("file:///sdcard/image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
Then you can decide with what you would like to do with the content back in your activity.
This was an example to retrieve the path name for the image, test this with your code just to make sure you can handle the results coming back. You can change the code as needed to better fit your needs.
protected final void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int
resultCode, final Intent i) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, i);
// this matches the request code in the above call
if (requestCode == 1) {
Uri _uri = i.getData();
// this will be null if no image was selected...
if (_uri != null) {
// now we get the path to the image file
cursor = getContentResolver().query(_uri, null,
null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String imageFilePath = cursor.getString(0);
cursor.close();
}
}
My advice is to try to get retrieving images working correctly, I think the problem is the content of accessing the images on the sdcard. Take a look at Displaying images on sd card.
If you can get that up and running, probably by the example supplying a correct provider, you should be able to figure out a work-around for your code.
Keep me updated by updating this question with your progress. Good luck
this is my revisit to this topic, gathering all the information here, plus from other relevant stack overflow questions. It returns images from some provider, while handling out-of-memory conditions and image rotation. It supports gallery, picasa and file managers, like drop box. Usage is simple: as input, the constructor receives the content resolver and the uri. The output is the final bitmap.
/**
* Creates resized images without exploding memory. Uses the method described in android
* documentation concerning bitmap allocation, which is to subsample the image to a smaller size,
* close to some expected size. This is required because the android standard library is unable to
* create a reduced size image from an image file using memory comparable to the final size (and
* loading a full sized multi-megapixel picture for processing may exceed application memory budget).

There are two useful tutorials about image picker with downloadable source code here:
How to Create Android Image Picker
How to Select and Crop Image on Android
However, the app will be forced to close sometime, you can fix it by adding android:configChanges attribute into main activity in Manifest file like as:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" >
It seems that the camera API lost control with orientation so this will help it. :)
To display images and videos try this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Wybierz plik"), SELECT_FILE);
Below solution work for 2.3(Gingerbread)-4.4(Kitkat), 5.0(Lollipop) and 6.0(Marshmallow) also:-
Step 1 Code for opening the gallery to select pics:
public static final int PICK_IMAGE = 1;
private void takePictureFromGalleryOrAnyOtherFolder()
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);
}
Step 2 Code for getting data in onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String imagePath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
//Now you have imagePath do whatever you want to do now
}//end of inner if
}//end of outer if
}
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
//Uri contentUri = Uri.parse(contentURI);
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 19) {
// Will return "image:x*"
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(contentUri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, sel, new String[] { id }, null);
} else {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,
projection, null, null, null);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String path = null;
try {
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(column_index).toString();
cursor.close();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return path;
}
Just in case it helps; I do this to get the Bitmap:
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
Above Answers are correct. I faced an different issue where in HTC M8 my application crashes when selecting an image from gallery. I'm getting null value for image path. I fixed and optimized with the following solution. in onActivityResult method
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE) && (resultCode == RESULT_OK)) {
if (data != null) {
Uri selectedImageUri = null;
selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor imageCursor = mainActivity.getContentResolver().query(
selectedImageUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
if (imageCursor == null) {
return;
}
imageCursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = imageCursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
picturePath = imageCursor.getString(columnIndex);
if (picturePath == null) {
picturePath = selectedImageUri.getPath();
String wholeID = DocumentsContract
.getDocumentId(selectedImage);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = mainActivity.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[] { id }, null);
columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
}
picturePathAbs = new File(picturePath).getAbsolutePath();
imageCursor.close();
}
}

Retrieve a specific type of file
This example will get a copy of the image.
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_GET = 1;
public void selectImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_GET);
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_GET && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap thumbnail = data.getParcelable("data");
Uri fullPhotoUri = data.getData();
// Do work with photo saved at fullPhotoUri
...
}
}
Open a specific type of file
When running on 4.4 or higher, you request to open a file that's managed by another app
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN = 1;
public void selectImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
// Only the system receives the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, so no need to test.
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_OPEN && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri fullPhotoUri = data.getData();
// Do work with full size photo saved at fullPhotoUri
...
}
}
Original source
Additional to previous answers, if you are having problems with getting the right path(like AndroZip) you can use this:
public String getPath(Uri uri ,ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor;
try{
cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
} catch (SecurityException e){
String path = uri.getPath();
String result = tryToGetStoragePath(path);
return result;
}
if(cursor != null) {
//HERE YOU WILL GET A NULLPOINTER IF CURSOR IS NULL
//THIS CAN BE, IF YOU USED OI FILE MANAGER FOR PICKING THE MEDIA
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
else
return uri.getPath(); // FOR OI/ASTRO/Dropbox etc
}
private String tryToGetStoragePath(String path) {
int actualPathStart = path.indexOf("//storage");
String result = path;
if(actualPathStart!= -1 && actualPathStart< path.length())
result = path.substring(actualPathStart+1 , path.length());
return result;
}

Quickest way to open image from gallery or camera.
Original reference : get image from gallery in android programmatically
Following method will receive image from gallery or camera and will show it in an ImageView. Selected image will be stored internally.

here is my example, might not be as your case exactly.
assuming that you get base64 format from your API provider, give it a file name and file extension, save it to certain location in the file system.
public static void shownInBuiltInGallery(final Context ctx, String strBase64Image, final String strFileName, final String strFileExtension){
new AsyncTask<String, String, File>() {
#Override
protected File doInBackground(String... strBase64Image) {
Bitmap bmpImage = convertBase64StringToBitmap(strBase64Image[0], Base64.NO_WRAP);
if(bmpImage == null) {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
byte[] byImage = null;
if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_JPG) == 0) {
byImage = convertToJpgByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_PNG) == 0){
byImage = convertToPngByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else if(strFileExtension.compareToIgnoreCase(FILE_EXTENSION_BMP) == 0){
byImage = convertToBmpByte(bmpImage); // convert bitmap to binary for latter use
} else {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
if(byImage == null) {
cancel(true);
return null;
}
File imageFolder = ctx.getExternalCacheDir();
if(imageFolder.exists() == false){
if(imageFolder.mkdirs() == false){
cancel(true);
return null;
}
}
File imageFile = null;
try {
imageFile = File.createTempFile(strFileName, strFileExtension, imageFolder);
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(imageFile == null){
cancel(true);
return null;
}
if (imageFile.exists() == true) {
if(imageFile.delete() == false){
cancel(true);
return null;
}
}
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(imageFile.getPath());
fos.write(byImage);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
fos = null;
}
return imageFile;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(File file) {
super.onPostExecute(file);
String strAuthority = ctx.getPackageName() + ".provider";
Uri uriImage = FileProvider.getUriForFile(ctx, strAuthority, file);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uriImage, "image/*");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
ctx.startActivity(intent);
}
}.execute(strBase64Image);}
Don't forget to set up a proper file provider at first place in AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/file_paths"/>
</provider>
where the file path is a xml in .../res/xml/file_path.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<external-files-path name="external_files" path="Accessory"/>
<external-path name="ex_Download" path="Download/" />
<external-path name="ex_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<external-files-path name="my_Download" path="Download/" />
<external-files-path name="my_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<external-cache-path name="my_cache" path="." />
<files-path name="private_Download" path="Download/" />
<files-path name="private_Pictures" path="Pictures/" />
<cache-path name="private_cache" path="." />
Long story short, have file provider ready at first, pass Uri to Intent for known and accessible picture source, otherwise, save the picture in desired location and then pass the location (as Uri) to Intent.
