I've a sequence of image paths on my sd card and I display them on a list.
I'd like to associate the onitemclick to image visualization and, rather than create my own activity, I wanted to know if there was an intent which, given an image path, displays it.
This solution assumes that you have the path of your image:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/png");
startActivity(intent);

I'm looking to display a specific folder of images in an app so that the user can browse through them.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("content://sdcard/Pictures/Album"), "image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
This seems to display all photos on the phone instead of the images I have in this album. How can I change this code so that the user can browse through images in a specific folder using the gallery app? The idea behind this is not so that the user can choose an image like I've seen in many examples on here but just simply to browse the images.
you can try this
File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
+ "/myFolder/");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(root);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
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
When I create an intent and pass it a URI of the path of the image on the SD card, like this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/*");
startActivity(intent);
The image displays after about 15 seconds, because the image viewer has to rebuild its image cache. It says in the debugger
Unable to read the index file sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache/picasa-thumbsindex.
I'm 99% sure this is a permissions issue, it cannot access its cache file. How do I fix this?
I'd like to show a png in the built-in image viewer.
Here is my code:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/png");
startActivity(intent);
It displays a msgbox with a list which contains more than 10 different applications that can display the image.
How to limit the msgbox to two or three applications (the most significant if
possible)?
I belive you cant do that, the point of the Intent is to let the user have to freedom to decide what to use to open it.
File is present in sdcard/image.jpg
I would like to create my own application (activity).
On a button press, the image stored in the sdcard needs to be displayed using the built-in image viewer.
On pressing the back button from the Image viewer, it should go back to my running application.
Need some help.
you can create an Intent with proper uri and mimetype for this.Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/image.jpg"), "image/jpeg");
startActivity(i);
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);
This code use for display all images from your SD card
