Android get Gallery image Uri path

Question

In an Activity, I can choose an image from the Gallery, and I need its Uri path (in the log, the Uri path for my test image is /content:/media/external/images/media/1).

I'm getting this error though:

08-04 02:14:21.912: DEBUG/PHOTOUPLOADER(576): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /content:/media/external/images/media/1 (No such file or directory) 08-04 02:14:32.124: WARN/System.err(576): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /content:/media/external/images/media/1 (No such file or directory) 

Is this the correct format of a file path? Or should I make it to be something like sdcard\...\image.png?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

val inputStream = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(uri) 

is all you need.
