Closed 2 years ago.
below is my code of on activity result , here i am able to set image in recycle view and this is working fine
if (data != null) {
if (data.getClipData() != null) {
int count = data.getClipData().getItemCount();
int currentItem = 0;
while (currentItem < count) {
Uri imageUri = data.getClipData().getItemAt(currentItem).getUri();
currentItem = currentItem + 1;
Log.d("Uri Selected", imageUri.toString());
try {
arrayList.add(imageUri);
ImageAdapter mAdapter = new ImageAdapter(ImageUpload.this, arrayList);
recycleviewShopImages.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TAG", "File select error", e);
}
}
} else if (data.getData() != null) {
final Uri uri = data.getData();
Log.i("TAG", "Uri = " + uri.toString());
try {
arrayList.add(uri);
ImageAdapter mAdapter = new ImageAdapter(ImageUpload.this, arrayList);
recycleviewShopImages.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TAG", "File select error", e);
}
}
}
code to get filepath and post image to server
#NonNull
private MultipartBody.Part prepareFilePart(String partName, Uri fileUri) {
// use the FileUtils to get the actual file by uri
File file = FileUtils.getFile(ImageUpload.this, fileUri);

// MultipartBody.Part is used to send also the actual file name
return MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("shop_images[]", file.getName(), requestFile);

I dont know where i am going wrong ,because i can display image in recycle view as well but while trying to get file path it shows me null value

Cannot show in ImageView a picture exported from the gallery

I am creating an Android application that needs to store some multimedia files in the internal storage. The user can choose that multimedia files from the picker. Those files must be available even when the user removes them, so they are copied to the internal storage.
Here's my code:
final Bitmap bitm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap( this.getContentResolver(), uri );
final int bitmapRawLength = bitm.getAllocationByteCount();
final ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate( bitmapRawLength );
bitm.copyPixelsToBuffer( byteBuffer );
data = byteBuffer.array();
final ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream( data );
db.store( in );
So, the bytes composing the image are copied into an average file inside the internal store through an InputStream. Apparently it works, since the file has contents.
Later the image is loaded in an ImageView:
private void loadImage(File imgFile)
{
if ( imgFile.exists() ) {
final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile( mediaFile.getPath() );
this.ivPictureBox.setImageBitmap( bitmap );
} else {
this.abortDueToMissingFile( imgFile );
}
return;
}
Unfortunately, this does not work. When it is time to load that image, the ImageView goes blank, nothing is shown.
Actually, in the log appears the following message:
D/skia: --- Failed to create image decoder with message 'unimplemented'
If I use the file explorer in Android Studio and export the image to my computer, then GwenView fails with the message "Failed to load metadata".
How can I correctly store the image, with the complete information, or show it correctly, whatever is easier or feasible?

I have develop and test some code in this case. I hope it helps you.
Defining request codes:
private static final int REQUEST_CODE_KITKAT_PICK_PHOTO = 11;
private static final int REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO = 12;
To call image picker:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose a photo"), REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO);
} else {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_KITKAT_PICK_PHOTO);
}
To receive the picked image and copy it, in your Activity:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO) {

return;
}
Uri uri = data.getData();
String destPath = getFilesDir() + File.separator + "image.jpg"; // an example path
File imageFile = null;
try {
imageFile = copy(uri, destPath);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (imageFile != null) {

The code below works fine in api level 19
No, it does not. There is no requirement for the Uri that is returned by ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT to be from the MediaStore. Moreover, the Uri returned by ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT does not have to represent a file on the local filesystem, let alone one that you are authorized to access.
Use a ContentResolver (obtained by calling getContentResolver() on a Context, such as your Activity) and openInputStream() to get an InputStream on the content identified by the Uri.

Try this code for get path
/**
* Get a file path from a Uri. This will get the the path for Storage Access
* Framework Documents, as well as the _data field for the MediaStore and
* other file-based ContentProviders.

getPath2() is useless code, because it does not handle all Uri values, and it will break whenever Google, device manufacturers, or custom ROM developers modify the internal implementations that you are assuming. A Uri is not a file, any more than a URL is.
Instead, use ContentResolver and openInputStream() to get an InputStream on the content identified by the Uri. Either:
Pass that InputStream to the API that you want to use, or
Use that InputStream and your own FileOutputStream to make a copy of the content to a file that you control, then use that file with your desired API (deleting the file when you are done with it)

I have changed the onActivityResult to:
Uri fileuri = data.getData();
File myFile = new File(fileuri.toString());
FilePath = myFile.getAbsolutePath();
and return the Path correctly but now the JavaMailAPI not sending.

Try to use this, it worked for me, i know its almost the same but maybe you are missing something.

Creating a file from picking an image from MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

I'm allowing the user to pick an image from their photo gallery:
Intent pickIntent = new Intent();
pickIntent.setType("image/*");
pickIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
Intent takePhotoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
String pickTitle = "Select or take a new Picture"; // Or get from strings.xml
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(pickIntent, pickTitle);
chooserIntent.putExtra
(
Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
new Intent[] { takePhotoIntent }
);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, SELECT_PICTURE);
And in onActivityResult I want to create a new File from the selected image. Here is what I am doing:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
return;
}
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
File mediaFile = new File(selectedImageUri.getPath());
if(!mediaFile.exists())
Log.d("File", "File doesn't exist");
}
}
My check mediaFile.exists() is returning false. What am I doing wrong here?
Update
I tried doing this as well:
String fullPath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
with this method from enter link description here question:
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
return null;
}
However, this method returns null.

Add this class to your project.
public class RealPathUtil {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri){
String filePath = "";
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String result = null;
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
context,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if(cursor != null){
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
result = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return result;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor 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);
}
}
and get image path from uri using relative method of android api.
EDIT :: Check SDK Version of your phone
And get path using
int version = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
String fullPath;
if(version >= 19) {
//call api 19 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_API19(this, uri);
} else if(version <= 18 && version >= 11) {
// call api 11-18 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(this, uri);
} else {
// call below api 11 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(this, uri);
}
File mediaFile = new File(fullPath);
