As I am supporting my app to Kitkat version, now in this the way of retrieve file from gallery was different.
I have preferred this Android Gallery on KitKat returns different Uri for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT for retrieving file from gallery and successfully work but I required Absolute path of that file, I am getting
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:2505
For 19 below version we used uri different by using that I am getting path this way
Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(originalUri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String fpath = cursor.getString(column_index);
but in 19 version it will give me null value how to get absolute path of image file which was selected by user.
Thanks
Here is one way to access the Absolute path after selecting file.
After getting data in new URI format for KK(KitKat) like this way
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:2505
Just extract ID of your document
if(requestCode == GALLERY_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Uri originalUri = data.getData();
final int takeFlags = data.getFlags()
& (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
| Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
// Check for the freshest data.
getContentResolver().takePersistableUriPermission(originalUri, takeFlags);
/* now extract ID from Uri path using getLastPathSegment() and then split with ":"
then call get Uri to for Internal storage or External storage for media I have used getUri()
*/
String id = originalUri.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));
}
Log.e("path",selectedImagePath ); // use selectedImagePath
}else if() {
// for older version use existing code here
}
// By using this method get the Uri of Internal/External Storage for Media
private Uri getUri() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if(!state.equalsIgnoreCase(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
return MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
return MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}
Pratik's solution helped me alot. Following is the version which works for me in Kitkat 4.4.2. Three things which i changed are
1) Using content resolver to get the path
2) originalUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":")[1] gives me index out of bound so i'm using index 0 instead.Its been working so far
3) Removed takeflags and check for freshest data as we are filtering the cursor with id.
try {
Uri originalUri = data.getData();
String pathsegment[] = originalUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":");
String id = pathsegment[0];
final String[] imageColumns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
final String imageOrderBy = null;
Uri uri = getUri();
Cursor imageCursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(uri, imageColumns,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=" + id, null, null);
if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) {
value = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Failed to get image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media
.getBitmap(getActivity().getContentResolver(), uri);
I hope that this will help you.
Perfectly working solution:
