Get File Path of Image on Android

Get file path of image on Android

Posting to Twitter needs the image's actual path on the device to be sent in the request to post. I was finding it mighty difficult to get the actual path and more often than not I would get the wrong path.

To counter that, once you have a Bitmap, I use that to get the URI from using the getImageUri(). Subsequently, I use the tempUri Uri instance to get the actual path as it is on the device.

This is production code and naturally tested. ;-)

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
        imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
        knop.setVisibility(Button.VISIBLE);

        // CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE URI FROM THE BITMAP
        Uri tempUri = getImageUri(getApplicationContext(), photo);

        // CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE ACTUAL PATH
        File finalFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(tempUri));

        System.out.println(mImageCaptureUri);
    }  
}

public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
    String path = Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);
    return Uri.parse(path);
}

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null); 
    cursor.moveToFirst(); 
    int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA); 
    return cursor.getString(idx); 
}

Get the path of an image stored in android phone gallery

Pass the uri that you are getting in onActivityResult and use the returned String.

public String getPathFromURI(Uri ContentUri) {
    String res = null;
    String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
            .query(ContentUri, proj, null, null, null);

    if (cursor != null) {
        cursor.moveToFirst();

        res = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
        cursor.close();
    }

    return res;
}

Getting the file path after select file from storage

Try this

final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
String path = getRealPathFromURI(getApplicationContext(), imageUri);

Where the function is

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
    Cursor cursor = null;
    try {
        String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        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);
    } finally {
        if (cursor != null) {
            cursor.close();
        }
    }
}

Hope this may help you. this will return the original path of the file for you.

Get path to pictures directory

I use this code for devices:

path = Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
  Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryPictures).AbsolutePath;

string myPath= Path.Combine(path, "file.name");

For emulators, it does not work.

Getting the file path from a picture in ImageView

As far as I know, you can do something like this:

private Uri mImageCaptureUri;

public class AddEx extends Activity {
  static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1337; 
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.add);

    Button camera = (Button) findViewById(R.id.picButton);
    camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent cameraIntent = 
                    new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
            cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
                    mImageCaptureUri);
            startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);               
        }               
    });

}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {  
        Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
        ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.returnedPic);  
        image.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);  

        String pathToImage = mImageCaptureUri.getPath();

        // pathToImage is a path you need. 

        // If image file is not in there, 
        //  you can save it yourself manually with this code:
        File file = new File(mImageCaptureUri.getPath());
        FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fOut); // You can choose any format you want
    }  
}    

From Android documentation about android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT:

The name of the Intent-extra used to indicate a content resolver Uri
to be used to store the requested image or video.

Show Image View from file path?

Labeeb is right about why you need to set image using path if your resources are already laying inside the resource folder ,

This kind of path is needed only when your images are stored in SD-Card .

And try the below code to set Bitmap images from a file stored inside a SD-Card .

File imgFile = new  File("/sdcard/Images/test_image.jpg");

if(imgFile.exists()){

    Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());

    ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);

    myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

}

And include this permission in the manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
