Within my fragment, I am trying to start an intent to display a local image with a gallery app on my phone.
The three lines in question are
string path = String.Format ("content:/{0}.jpg", CacheController.Static.GetPath (m));
Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(path);
StartActivity (new Intent (Intent.ActionView, uri));
the value of path is content://data/data/Appname.subname/files/cache/107.jpg.
I tried using file:/ at the beginning of the Uri but that didn't help.
You are trying to share an image that is in a folder private to your app. You first need to copy the image to a public folder and make an intent pointing to that image. Have a look here and here

I am new to android development.
I am trying to open the default gallery app to view an image like this:
Uri u = Uri.parse((String) gridView.getAdapter().getItem(position);
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setDataAndType(u, "image/*");
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(i);
I provide the file paths to my images like this:
/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images/IMG-20191023-WA0045.jpg
/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/9GAG/1565987862000.jpg
My App and Google Photos can display the image given this path, the Samsung Gallery( tested on Android Oreo) or the Xiaomi Gallery App (tested on Android X) can't find the image; also if i try to add "content://" or "file://" at the beginning.
I suspect that the apps want to have a Content URI or some kind of symbolic link without the "/storage/emulated/0/" part instead of a File URI. I searched for methods to get the content URI out of the file path, but didn't find any examples for Android X.
So what is the correct URI to pass on through the Intent and how do i get it?
Or maybe somebody knows a better way to just open the gallery app to a specific picture i provide by an absolute file path (Both External Storage and SD Card)?
Thank you in advance and greetings!
copied from this question here , this might work for you
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media/16"))); /** replace with your own uri */
My application is capable of capturing images and saving them (in the public Pictures directory, retrieved by Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).
Now, I want to be able to display those images in the system's gallery application. In order to achieve that, I create an Intent like this (filePath is a String containing the image's path):
Intent viewIntent = new Intent();
viewIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath));
viewIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(viewIntent, null));
Displaying an image this way works perfectly fine, but the gallery's Share functionality doesn't seem to work:
When I press the Share-button, I get to choose the app I want to share to; but once I select it, nothing happens, as if the target application does not receive any data.
Is there any explanation why this behaviour occurs and how it can be fixed?
Edit: I used Intent Intercept to capture the Intent created by the Gallery/Photos app:
I would like to open just one image and have pitch-zoom function, so (as I think) easiest way to do that is to open that image in gallery intent. Anybody can share example of how to call gallery intent with particular picture from drawable?
I tried to used something like that but can't make it working (wrong file patch?).
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("com.me.example/drawable/thisimage.png"), "image/*");
startActivity(intent);
According to this post
You should do something like:
String uriStr = "android.resource://"+ "com.example.myapp"+ "/" + R.drawable.photo_h01;
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriStr);
I have not Eclipse in front of me but that's what I have found on several sources
I'm trying to open all the photos taken with my app using the native Gallery.
Here is my code:
Intent intentBrowseFiles = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intentBrowseFiles.setType("image/*");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/MyApp");
intentBrowseFiles.setData(uri);
intentBrowseFiles.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intentBrowseFiles);
If I don't set the setData the gallery opens, but in the root, if I set, my app crashes.
Is there a way to open it in the Gallery in a specific directory?
Anyway, thank you!
Can we pass image and an image URI to other activity in same application using bundle?suggest me some way to do that?
USAGE :actually i have made an activity that crop an image taken from camera or from image stored in SD card depends upon the user.
and another app that uses a background image and a border image both are overlay so as to see PHOTOFRAME.
So now I want to combine both app so that the cropped image come from first app should become the background image for the second app.ie comes in photoframe.How can i do that?
Once you save your image in SD card
use this to cal the other activity.
final Intent intent = new Intent(MyClass.this, TargetClass.class);
final String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
intent.setData(Uri.parse(root + "/my/image/path/image.png"));
startActivity(intent);
if you are the reciever then you can get the path by calling
Uri path = getIntent().getData();
in the onCreate of the recieving activity. this is the standard way of checking for path by other activities.
Yes you can pass URI object,see putParcelable method in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html, URI already implements Parcelable interface,you can use corresponding get methods to get it.If any object that implements Parcelable interface then we can pass it using Bundle.
