Im trying to get the path file for showing in a recycler view using intent for choosing file and activityresult for response of that action so my code works in android 4> until 7< and it works fine for those versions but in 7>= there is a problem with that code , especially in android 9.
public void openGallery() {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select file to upload "),
SettingsUtil.ACTIVITY_GALLERY);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == SettingsUtil.ACTIVITY_GALLERY && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
.query(selectedImage, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
String code = year + "-" + reservation + "-" + (counter++);
File auxFile = new File(picturePath);
}
}
i expect to String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex); get the path like old android vesions 4+ <7 but in those new versions there is a problem there when working in last versions
I've tried this but with no luck.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
nameView.setText(selectedImage.toString());
realPath = getRealPathFromURI(this, selectedImage);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, realPath, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
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();
}
}
}
I am getting null when I display in TOAST.
I am running Lollipop.
Please could someone explain in detail on how to do this.
I am able to get the URI without any problems but my only issue is to not being able to convert it to a real path to store in my database.
Thanks
This problem occurs mainly for google native devices such as Nexus because in these devices the only image library is google photos. In google photos you get to choose not only those images which are present on your device but also those photos which are stored on cloud storage too. Try the below mentioned updated code of yours and let me know if it worked or not.
Your intent should have action as Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == ATTACHMENT_PHOTO_GALLERY && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
nameView.setText(selectedImage.toString());
String realPath = getRealPathFromURI(this, selectedImage);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, realPath, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
String path = 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();
path = cursor.getString(column_index);
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
//The above code will fail to get file path if the file is selected from google photos.
//Then this will be the alternative approach
if (path == null && contentUri.toString().startsWith("content://com.google.android.apps.photos.content")) {
Bitmap requiredImage = null;
//Below key should be used for saving the newly downloaded image path as
//photoIdentificationKey as Key parameter and newly generated path as Value.
//An additional check should be implemented on your storage that whether any local
//path exists for corresponding photoIdentificationKey, if yes then use the existing
//local path else download new image.
String photoIdentificationKey = Uri.parse(contentUri.getLastPathSegment()).getLastPathSegment();
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
InputStream inputStream;
try {
inputStream = getApplication().getContentResolver().openInputStream(contentUri);
requiredImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream, null, options);
//Save the newly downloaded image to your isolated storage and return the path
//on which this new image has been saved.
inputStream.close();
path = saveAndReturnPathForSavedImage(requiredImage);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
return path;
}
private String saveAndReturnPathForSavedImage(Bitmap bmp) {
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
OutputStream out = null;
File file = new File(path, "IMAGE"+ Calendar.getInstance().getTime()+".jpg"); // the File to save to
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return file.getPath();
}
If your Intent data data is not null then you can try this.
I've used this code to get image path from gallery, and its working in all devices.
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePath = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, filePath, null, null, null);
c.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(filePath[0]);
String picturePath = c.getString(columnIndex);
c.close();
Bitmap thumbnail = (BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
Log.e("path of image from gallery......******************.........", picturePath + "");
Note: Be sure your data should not be null otherwise it will give NullPointerException.
I can change image with local picker (not camera) and set it to imageview (profile_image) like this :
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
//selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
//Utils.log("selectedImagePath: " + selectedImagePath);
Utils.log("selectedImageUri: " + selectedImageUri);
profile_image.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);
final int takeFlags = data.getFlags()
& (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
| Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
String id = selectedImageUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":")[1];
final String[] imageColumns = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
final String imageOrderBy = null;
Uri uri = getUri();
String selectedImagePath = "path";
Cursor imageCursor = managedQuery(uri, imageColumns,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "="+id, null, imageOrderBy);
if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) {
selectedImagePath = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
new LocalImageUpload().execute(selectedImagePath);
}
Utils.log("selectedImagePath:" + selectedImagePath); // use selectedImagePath
}else{
Uri uri = data.getData();
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
Utils.log("DatabaseUtils:" + DatabaseUtils.dumpCursorToString(cursor));
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex); // returns null
cursor.close();
}
}
}
I got selectedImageUri with Utils.log("selectedImageUri: " + selectedImageUri);, but I got null when log Utils.log("selectedImagePath: " + selectedImagePath);
Update: I change like that and already got selectedImagePath. commented old selectedImagePath.
So I want to upload image to database after profile_image.setImageURI(selectedImageUri); , how to upload local image picker to database? I mean the background proccess POST code?
Can you please try below one ?
Pass Uri as argument in below function and get Path from Uri.
private String getRealPathFromURI (Uri contentUri) {
String path = null;
String[] proj = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
path = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
cursor.close();
return path;
}
Now set Bitmap on ImageView using below code:
String mRealPath = getRealPathFromURI(your_uri);
Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mRealPath);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
Edit:
Now you have to pass an argument for your Async Task:
new LocalImageUpload().execute(mRealPath);
Hope this will help you.
I am creating an app which uploads a selected image from the gallery and uploads it to a web service. The webservice requires the filename of selected image plus a base64 encoding of the file contents. I have managed to achieve this with a hardcoded file path. However, I am struggling to get the real filepath of the image. I have read around the web and have this code, but it does not work for me:
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
try {
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImageUri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
Log.d("Picture Path", picturePath);
}
catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("Path Error", e.toString());
}
}
}
I get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
EDIT
Forgot to mention I am using Kitkat. It looks like my problem is KitKat related. I found this (see below) which helped me get my app working:
Android Gallery on KitKat returns different Uri for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
A little late to the party but here's my code, hope this helps.
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData( );
String picturePath = getPath( getActivity( ).getApplicationContext( ), selectedImageUri );
Log.d("Picture Path", picturePath);
}
}
public static String getPath( Context context, Uri uri ) {
String result = null;
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver( ).query( uri, proj, null, null, null );
if(cursor != null){
if ( cursor.moveToFirst( ) ) {
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow( proj[0] );
result = cursor.getString( column_index );
}
cursor.close( );
}
if(result == null) {
result = "Not found";
}
return result;
}
Use below code,
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String s = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
editText1.setText(s);

If you are like me and you dont have a local file ready, for instance you want to give user a chance to take a picture and then upload the picture this is how to do it.
I am a noob in java but i have allot of experience in coding.
Stackoverflow helped me allot so now it is my time to do something back.
Under class activity you have to declare these two items.
asuming you have a working upload class and php script.
NOTE i am not taking any consideration about all the different API's
out there. I am using java compiler 1.7 and a API range of 10 to 18.
public class Yourproject extends Activity {
File imageFile;
File imageFileName;
//This part is needed for decoding the path adres.
private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) {
String result;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
result = contentURI.getPath();
} else {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME);
result = cursor.getString(idx);
cursor.close();
}
return result;
}
//This is needed for the path name, now you might just want to use one decoding script depending on //your class in total.
//In my case this was the way to go.
//To use one single addres use this line ImageColumns.DATA in the int idx declaration.
private String getRealPathFromNAME(Uri contentNAME) {
String result;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentNAME, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
result = contentNAME.getPath();
} else {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
result = cursor.getString(idx);
cursor.close();
}
return result;
}
//Then under protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) you place this code to get
//the image and process it.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//declare the ImageView
final ImageView inputPicture = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
inputPicture.setImageURI((Uri) getIntent().getExtras().get("picture"));
//here where recieve the image from last page "Putextra" method
try {
//here we will get the data and proces it trough to get the real
//address for uploading.
//This is send from a other activity with a Intent.EXTRA_STREAM
//The code looks like this:
/*********"Putextra"*********/
//final ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
//final Uri thumb = (Uri) getIntent().getExtras().get(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
//iv.setImageURI(thumb);
//Sending it to the next activity
//it.putExtra("picture", thumb);
/*********"Putextra"*********/
Uri fileUri = (Uri) getIntent().getExtras().get("picture");
//get
//Uri fileName = (Uri) getIntent().getExtras().get("picture");
//get
imageFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(fileUri));
//send
imageFileName = new File(getRealPathFromNAME(fileUri));
//send
//i got a exeption Uri fileName, use fileUri twice..
} catch (Exception e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
}
//here we will declare the name for furter processing.
final File uploadFilePath = imageFile;
final File uploadFileName = imageFileName;
}
And the rest i will leave up to u, if you got this far, I am pretty sure you will finish.
Try this,
file = new File(getPath(outputFileUri));
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

}
}
}
This method doesn't work fine to get Uri in request camera activity result. You'd better use :
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
mImageCaptureUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageCaptureUri);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
And in the onActivityResult :
String path = mImageCaptureUri.toString();
where
Uri mImageCaptureUri ;
is a global variable.
Hope it helps...
