Android 4.4.2 - camera uri return null and also cropping feature not working?

Question

I am trying to click image from camera and show into imageview but onactivityresult URI return null. BUt below code runs fine on JellyBean , ICS with cropping feature .

Calling intent

                Intent pickIntent = new Intent();
                pickIntent.setType("image/*");
                pickIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                pickIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_SCREEN_ORIENTATION, ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
                Intent captureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                // we will handle the returned data in onActivityResult
                String pickTitle = "Select or take a new Picture";
                // startActivityForResult(captureIntent, 1);
                Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(pickIntent, pickTitle);
                chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[]
                { captureIntent });
                startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, GlobalVariables.GALLERY_MODE);

onActivityResult

Android Gallery on KitKat returns different Uri for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT

Answer 1

This work for Kitkat

public class YourActivity  extends Activity{

private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;

private String selectedImagePath;
private ImageView imageView;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.browsepicture);
    imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

    ((Button) findViewById(R.id.button1))
            .setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                public void onClick(View arg0) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                    intent.setType("image/*");
                    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
                            "Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
                }
            });
}

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
            Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
                selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
                Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImagePath);
                imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

            }
            else {
                ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor;
                try {

                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        if( uri == null ) {
            return null;
        }
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        if( cursor != null ){
            int column_index = cursor
            .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            return cursor.getString(column_index);
        }
        return uri.getPath();
}

}

For Cropping image 

    private void cropImage() {
        // Use existing crop activity.
        Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
        intent.setDataAndType(capturedImageUri, IMAGE_UNSPECIFIED);

        // Specify image size
        intent.putExtra("outputX", IMAGE_DIMENSION);
        intent.putExtra("outputY", IMAGE_DIMENSION);

        // Specify aspect ratio, 1:1
        intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
        intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
        intent.putExtra("scale", true);
        intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
        // REQUEST_CODE_CROP_PHOTO is an integer tag you defined to
        // identify the activity in onActivityResult() when it returns
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQ_CODE_CROP_PHOTO);
    }

Answer 2

I hope you got solution but this is for them who still finding for solution.

use this line of code in onActivityResult

Uri imageUri = data.getData();

OR Refer this link for getting URI.

Just use this code of getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri), Using uri you are having it will return path of File.

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {

final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;

// DocumentProvider
if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
// ExternalStorageProvider
if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];

if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
