Get file path of image on Android

Question

I have an app that can make pictures and upload them. The upload requires the file path of the photo but I can't get it.

This is my code:

public void maakfoto (View v) {      Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);     cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageCaptureUri);     startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST);  }  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);         System.out.println(mImageCaptureUri);     }   } 

Please help me to get the file path.

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);  }
