App exits after selecting image in Android Studio (OnActivityResult not called)

So I used this to open my image choose upon button click
//Open image chooser
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);
and used onActivityResult
private final static int SELECT_PHOTO = 12345;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Log.e("CALLED", "OnActivity Result");
if (requestCode == SELECT_PHOTO && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// Let's read picked image data - its URI
Uri pickedImage = data.getData();
// Let's read picked image path using content resolver
String[] filePath = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(pickedImage, filePath, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String imagePath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(filePath[0]));
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath, options);
Log.e("img", "It worked");
// Do something with the bitmap
// At the end remember to close the cursor or you will end with the RuntimeException!
cursor.close();
}
}
In logcat, OnactivityResult is not being called, and I cant figure out why. So when I click the button, the image chooser pops up, I choose an image, and then it exits back to the main screen.
Am I missing something, as I've followed others' code but I still get the same thing

Give this a try:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(photoPickerIntent,"Select:"), SELECT_PHOTO);

Android: Multiple image view

I want two ImageView's on one activity view, One image for the profile picture and the other for the profile cover page.
My code
setupImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
bringImagePicker();
}
});
private void bringImagePicker() {
// start picker to get image for cropping and then use the image in cropping activity
CropImage.activity()
.setGuidelines(CropImageView.Guidelines.ON)
.setAspectRatio(1,1)
.start(SetupActivity.this);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == CropImage.CROP_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
CropImage.ActivityResult result = CropImage.getActivityResult(data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
mainImageURI = result.getUri();
setupImage.setImageURI(mainImageURI);
isChanged = true;
} else if (resultCode == CropImage.CROP_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_RESULT_ERROR_CODE) {
Exception error = result.getError();
}
}
}
Now how can I add for profile cover image?

You can use ID for both of them, and change the image with corresponding ID from the intent that holds data, add another condition after receiving the results.
I don't know if this library can handle this or not.
If not this simplest solution to hold state variable that tells you which image to update
feel free to ask for clarification

Retrieving picture from Sharedpreferences path

In the app I am building, the user selects a picture from gallery and the path is saved in Shared Preferences. I then want to retrieve this picture from the stored path but it doesn't work. The image is an ImageButton, which the user clicks in order to select picture from Gallery.
The code I have to retrieve the picture and "put" on the ImageButton is:
This code does actually work now, put it here in case it helps others.
File imgFile = new File(sharedpreferences.getString(Path, LOCATION_SERVICE));
if(imgFile.exists())
{
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
ImageButton img=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.AddPic);
img.setImageBitmap(b);
}
I know the path is correct, but I am not able to retrieve the picture and put it on the ImageButton.
Below is the code where the user clicks on the ImageButton, and selects a picture from the gallery and the path of that picture is stored within the sharedPreferences:
imgButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.AddPic);
imgButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent GaleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(GaleryIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
}
});
}
#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();
String[] FilePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor SelectedCursor = getContentResolver().query(SelectedImage, FilePathColumn, null, null, null);
SelectedCursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = SelectedCursor.getColumnIndex(FilePathColumn[0]);
String picturePath = SelectedCursor.getString(columnIndex);
SelectedCursor.close();
imgButton.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
Editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit();
editor.putString(Path, picturePath);
editor.commit();
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much!

Returning Image Resource ID

I'm trying to get a program to let the user to import a custom background.
Here's where I'm at:
I have the getDrawable function taking another function as an argument:
mDrawableBg = getResources().getDrawable(getImage());
getImage() is suppose to return a integer referencing the selected image, here is the code (so far) for that function:
public int getImage(){
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 10);
}
This is suppose to open the gallery and let the user select an image. I would then use mDrawableBg to set the background. I'm not sure how to return a reference ID to that selected image though. Any suggestions?

Try this:
String pathName = "selected Image path";
Resources res = getResources();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathName);
BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable(res, bitmap);
View view = findViewById(R.id.container);
view.setBackgroundDrawable(bd);

The way you're attempting to do it is not possible, I'm afraid. One of the things you'll want to learn as a new Android developer is how the cycle between activities works. In your case, you're running an Activity that calls upon an Intent to get data from it. However, in the Android API, an Intent can only be referenced on its own time. This means you can't use your getImage() method the way you had tried.
There is hope, though!
What you first need to do is call the Intent. You will do this through the code you have now in getImage():
public void getImage() { // This has to be a void!
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, 10);
}
This method will now start the Image Picker that you want users to select from. Next, you have to catch what is returned. This cannot be returned from your getImage() method, but instead must be collected from elsewhere.
You must implement the below method:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1; // Hardcoded from API
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
String pathToImage = data.getData().getPath(); // Get path to image, returned by the image picker Intent
mDrawableBg = Drawable.createFromPath(pathToImage); // Get a Drawable from the path
}
}
}
Lastly, instead of calling mDrawableBg = getResources().getDrawable(getImage());, just call getImage();. This will initialize the Image Picker.
Some reading:
Android Activity (notably stuff about Intents and getting a result back)
Android Drawable
Getting a Drawable from a path
More on the Image Picker Intent
Good luck!

I'm not sure, but if you mean you don't know how to receive results from that intent, you can use :
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode,Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
if (requestCode == 10)
{
// DoSomething
}
}
}

How do I access the full size image taken with the camera from an Android Intent?

My button's onclick listener is as follows:
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
}
});
And the result is handled as follows:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
ImageView Preview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.PreviewImage1);
Preview.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
Preview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
}
I got the thumbnail working but how do I access the full image so that I can do some manipulations? I want to avoid saving the file if possible.

Here is a working example: http://achorniy.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/howto-launch-android-camera-using-intents/
Getting the full-sized image is not possible without saving to a file. Also it won't be a good idea, because having so big Bitmaps in memory will soon cause Out of memory exception.
