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

Solution 1:

I have develop and test some code in this case. I hope it helps you.

Defining request codes:

privatestaticfinalint REQUEST_CODE_KITKAT_PICK_PHOTO = 11;
privatestaticfinalint REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO = 12;

To call image picker:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
    Intentintent=newIntent();
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose a photo"), REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO);
} else {
    Intentintent=newIntent(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:

@OverridepublicvoidonActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_PHOTO) {
            if (data == null || data.getData() == null) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Error in retrieving photo!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return;
            }
            Uriuri= data.getData();
            StringdestPath= getFilesDir() + File.separator + "image.jpg"; // an example pathFileimageFile=null;
            try {
                imageFile = copy(uri, destPath);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            if (imageFile != null) {
                Bitmapbitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
                ivPictureBox.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        } elseif (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_KITKAT_PICK_PHOTO) {
            if (data == null || data.getData() == null) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Error in retrieving photo!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return;
            }
            UrioriginalUri= data.getData();
            finalinttakeFlags= data.getFlags()
                    & (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
                    | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
            // Check for the freshest data.if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
                getContentResolver().takePersistableUriPermission(originalUri, takeFlags);
            }
            StringdestPath= getFilesDir() + File.separator + "image.jpg"; // an example pathFileimageFile=null;
            try {
                imageFile = copy(originalUri, destPath);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            if (imageFile != null) {
                Bitmapbitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
                ivPictureBox.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        }
    }
}

// To copy the file:private File copy(Uri inputUri, String destPath)throws IOException {
    FileinputFile=newFile(ImageUtils.getPathFromUri(getApplicationContext(), inputUri));
    FileoutputFile=newFile(destPath);
    if (!outputFile.exists()) {
        outputFile.createNewFile();

    FileOutputStreamoutStream=newFileOutputStream(outputFile);
    FileChannelinChannel= inStream.getChannel();

    inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel);
    inStream.close();
    outStream.close();
    return outputFile;
}

Silly of me!

It is as simple as:

finalInputStreamin=this.getContentResolver().openInputStream( uri );

...and copy it whichever you want.

This works for URI's with both SCHEME_CONTENT and SCHEME_FILE schemes.
