Image Upload using intent

Question

I'm trying to upload an image for my android mobile application. The code is working fine for a image that was uploaded from the Gallery Folder. But If I select any image from "Recent Images", "Documents", "Downloads" the image path was not extracted and couldn't upload the image. Can you please help me how I can solve this issue.

Here's my coding for your reference:

package com.example.imageupload;



public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private ImageView image;
    private Button uploadButton;
    private Bitmap bitmap;
    private Button selectImageButton, takeImageButton;
    String link = uri;
    // number of images to select
    private static final int PICK_IMAGE = 1;
    private static final int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1888;

    /**
     * called when the activity is first created
     */
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // find the views
        image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.uploadImage);
        uploadButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.uploadButton);
        takeImageButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.takeImageButton);
        selectImageButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.selectImageButton);

        selectImageButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                selectImageFromGallery();

            }
        });


        // when uploadButton is clicked
        uploadButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // new ImageUploadTask().execute();
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
                uploadTask();
            }
        });
    }

    protected void uploadTask() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bos);
        byte[] data = bos.toByteArray();
        String file = Base64.encodeToString(data, 0);
        Log.i("base64 string", "base64 string: " + file);
        new ImageUploadTask(file).execute();
    }

        startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
                PICK_IMAGE);
    }

    /**

Answer 1

I just changed the code as following:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE && null != data) {
        if (resultCode == getActivity().RESULT_OK) {
            selectedImage = data.getData();
            Log.i("selectedImage", "selectedImage: " + selectedImage.toString());
            String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};

            Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                    filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            int columnIndex = cursor
                    .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();

            Log.i("columnIndex", "columnIndex: " + columnIndex);

            String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            Log.i("picturePath", "picturePath: " + picturePath);
            cursor.close();

        }
    }


}

  public void selectImageFromGallery(){
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                    android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
            startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, PICK_IMAGE);}
