Android - Choose Image From Gallery And Store It In A File Type Variable

I am a new to Android Development. I wish to select an image or a video from the Gallery of an Android Device. Store it in a variable of typeFile. I am doing this, since I need to

Solution 1:

All you need to do is just create a File variable with the path of image which you've selected from gallery. Change your OnActivityResult as :

protectedvoidonActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {               
    UriselectedImageUri= data.getData();
    imagepath = getPath(selectedImageUri); 
    FileimageFile=newFile(imagepath);
    }
}

Solution 2:

this works for image selection. also tested in API 29,30. if anyone needs it.

privatestaticfinalintPICK_IMAGE=5;

Intentintent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, 
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
                startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "select image"), 
                PICK_IMAGE);

publicvoidonActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode ==  PICK_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {               
    UriselectedImageUri= data.getData();
    StringselectedImagePath= getRealPathFromURIForGallery(selectedImageUri);
    FileimageFile=newFile(selectedImagePath);
    }
} 

public String getRealPathFromURIForGallery(Uri uri) {
    if (uri == null) {
    returnnull;
    }
    String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursorcursor=this.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, 
    null, null);
    if (cursor != null) {
        intcolumn_index= 
        cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }
    assertfalse;
    cursor.close();
    return uri.getPath();
}

Solution 3:

Try this

You can try this also

publicvoidonActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{

    if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null)
    {
        Filedestination=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
 //You will get file path of captured camera imageBitmapphoto= (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        iv_profile.setImageBitmap(photo);
    }
}
