getClipData() returning null when a single image is selected when working fine when multiple images are selected

Question

Basically, I need to select multiple images. My code is working fine when I select multiple images but it's not working when I select a single image.

I am using this code to select the images

public void getPhotoFromGallery(){
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), 1);
}

My onActivityResult() is

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    Log.i("onActivityResult: ", "STARTED");
    if(requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data!=null){
        try {
            Log.i("Error: ", String.valueOf(data));
            ClipData mClipData = data.getClipData();
            Log.i("Error: ", String.valueOf(mClipData));
            .....

            .....
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

When I select multiple images, My code is working fine. But when I select a single image, data.getClipData() is returning null. I basically need a list of URI of all the select images. I don't understand the problem. Also, String.valueof(data) shows there is URI present when one image is selected but data.getClipData() still returning null.

Answer 1

Also, String.valueof(data) shows there is URI present when one image is selected but data.getClipData() still returning null

You will get that Uri from calling data.getData(), where data is the Uri delivered to onActivityResult().
