My app is crashing only in android >= 6.0 (marshmallow) when I try to access a photo URI stored previously in SharedPreferences. Though the image is retrieved for the first time without any error. I am using targetSdkVersion
22 so that I don't need to handle run-time permissions in API >=23.
Permissions in my Manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS" />
I am getting image as follows :
// Determine Uri of camera image to save.
final File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "pics" + File.separator);
root.mkdirs();
final String fname = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() + ".jpg";
final File sdImageMainDirectory = new File(root, fname);
outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(sdImageMainDirectory);
// Camera.
final List<Intent> cameraIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
final Intent captureIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
final PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
final List<ResolveInfo> listCam = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(captureIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo res : listCam) {
final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
final Intent intent = new Intent(captureIntent);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
intent.setPackage(packageName);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
cameraIntents.add(intent);
}
// Filesystem.
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
// Chooser of filesystem options.
final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "Select Source");
// Add the camera options.
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, cameraIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[cameraIntents.size()]));
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, Constants.IMAGE_PICKER);
This is my OnActivityResult method:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == Constants.IMAGE_PICKER) {
if (data == null) {
selectedImageUri = outputFileUri;
} else {
selectedImageUri = data.getData();
}
if (selectedImageUri != null) {
try {
String path = AppUtils.getPath(this, selectedImageUri);
if (path != null) {
Bitmap bitmap = AppUtils.decodeFile(new File(path));
File f = new File(System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
OutputStream os = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, os);
os.close();
uploadImageToServer(f, bitmap);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
where getPath() is function from https://stackoverflow.com/a/20559418/3758972.

I don't know what am I missing. Please help.
Use ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT in your intent instead of ACTION_PICK. It allows long term, persistent access to files you request.
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
Documentation here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html
Create a class name RealPathUtil like below
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.CursorLoader;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.provider.DocumentsContract;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
public class RealPathUtil {
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri){
String filePath = "";
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String result = null;
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
context,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if(cursor != null){
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
result = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return result;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri){
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index
= cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
Then you can get the Real path in onActivityResult
like
String realPath;
// SDK < API11
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11)
realPath = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(this, data.getData());
// SDK >= 11 && SDK < 19
else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19)
realPath = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(this, data.getData());
// SDK > 19 (Android 4.4)
else
realPath = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_API19(this, data.getData());
