Answer 1

You can parse and get Uri like this:

// Add an Uri instance to an Intent
intent.putExtra("imageUri", uri);

Then, when you need it, just get it back this way:

// Get an Uri from an Intent
Uri uri = intent.getParcelableExtra("imageUri");

Answer 2

You can convert a uri to String as follows:-

intent.putExtra("singleImage", uri.toString());

and then while getting intent convert String to uri back

Uri myUri = Uri.parse(extras.getString("singleImage"));
