Find out the camera picture location

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/DCIM/Camera"
I tried this code for find the location of camera storage images but its give only "DCIM" image location.but some devices not store always in "DCIM" folder so how could i find out storage location?

Try this:
File storageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);

Try to below code work for my app perfect :-
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String selectedImagePath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
Method:-
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri)
{
try
{
String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return contentUri.getPath();
}
}

Android how to get the only uri of Media Store Image?

I'm trying to get the uri and after parse into path of MediaStore image.
I do this to get the uri:
Uri img_uri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
And after with this function i convert uri in the path:
public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
}
But the result is that i have the path of the Media storage but with the first element.
For example: /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Boat.jpg. But i want only /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/.
Please don't tell me to use join and split because isn't what i want.

Use this:
String path = getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath();
to get the main directory in your app subfolder where you can put another directory, for example "Images" in this way:
String path = getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + "/Images";
File folder = new File(path);
if (!folder.exists()) {
folder.mkdir();
}
So now with this:
String path = getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + "/Images";
you can access to this folder without problems.

Image path from URI

I am trying to get an Image file from the gallery:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
GET_IMAGE_FROM_GALLERY);
The message "Selecture Picture" is not shown as a Toast.
And in onActivityResult();
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData(); //log shows proper URI
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImageUri,
projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String selectedImagePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.getString(column_index) returns Null.
I am testing it on Nexus 4.
EDIT:
Looks like this is a problem with Android 4.4, I have see other apps failing too.
Convert content:// URI to actual path in Android 4.4

Use this :
String selectedImagePath = null;
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(
selectedImageUri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
selectedImagePath = selectedImageUri.getPath();
} else {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
selectedImagePath = cursor.getString(idx);
}

Please do help.
Thanks,

You can get the file path with the following piece of code :
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
call the above function as follows :
String myFilePath = getPath(uri);
File objFile = new File(myFilePath);

i am using the following code to get the path
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
int columnIndex = 0;
String[] projection = { MediaColumns.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaColumns.DATA);
