In some special cast to need get image from gallery to display in application. so I am posting to get absolute path of the selected image from gallery using Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT.
In Kitkat version we get different Uri format(DocumentProvider)
Now
Uri format like this : content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951
Before
Uri format like this : content://media/external/images/media/3951.
See the
Kikat version change
here
1. AbsolutePathActivity.java Activity Class
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AbsolutePathActivity extends Activity
{
private static final int MY_INTENT_CLICK=302;
private TextView txta;
private Button btn_selectImage;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_absolutepath);
txta = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
btn_selectImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_selectImage);
btn_selectImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select File"),MY_INTENT_CLICK);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
if (requestCode == MY_INTENT_CLICK)
{
if (null == data) return;
String selectedImagePath;
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
//MEDIA GALLERY
selectedImagePath = ImageFilePath.getPath(getApplicationContext(), selectedImageUri);
Log.i("Image File Path", ""+selectedImagePath);
txta.setText("File Path : \n"+selectedImagePath);
}
}
}
}
Copy below class on your application for getting Gallery image file Uri AbsolutePath.
