Android 4.4(KitKat)上的Android图库为Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT返回不同的URI

在KitKat之前(或在新的图库之前), Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT返回一个这样的URI

内容://媒体/外部/图像/媒体/ 3951。

使用ContentResolver并为MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA返回文件的URL。

在KitKat中,Gallery会返回一个URI(通过“Last”),如下所示:

内容://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951

我该如何处理?

尝试这个:

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <19){ Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/jpeg"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getResources().getString(R.string.select_picture)),GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED); } else { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); intent.setType("image/jpeg"); startActivityForResult(intent, GALLERY_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED); } @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) return; if (null == data) return; Uri originalUri = null; if (requestCode == GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED) { originalUri = data.getData(); } else if (requestCode == GALLERY_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED) { originalUri = data.getData(); final int takeFlags = data.getFlags() & (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION); // Check for the freshest data. getContentResolver().takePersistableUriPermission(originalUri, takeFlags); } loadSomeStreamAsynkTask(originalUri); } 

可能需要

@SuppressLint( “NewApi”)

对于

takePersistableUriPermission

这不需要特别的权限,可以使用Storage Access Framework,也可以使用非官方的ContentProvider模式( _data字段中的文件路径)。

 /** * Get a file path from a Uri. This will get the the path for Storage Access * Framework Documents, as well as the _data field for the MediaStore and * other file-based ContentProviders. * * @param context The context. * @param uri The Uri to query. * @author paulburke */ public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) { final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT; // DocumentProvider if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) { // ExternalStorageProvider if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) { final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri); final String[] split = docId.split(":"); final String type = split[0]; if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) { return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1]; } // TODO handle non-primary volumes } // DownloadsProvider else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) { final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri); final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId( Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id)); return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null); } // MediaProvider else if (isMediaDocument(uri)) { final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri); final String[] split = docId.split(":"); final String type = split[0]; Uri contentUri = null; if ("image".equals(type)) { contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; } else if ("video".equals(type)) { contentUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; } else if ("audio".equals(type)) { contentUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; } final String selection = "_id=?"; final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { split[1] }; return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs); } } // MediaStore (and general) else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) { // Return the remote address if (isGooglePhotosUri(uri)) return uri.getLastPathSegment(); return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null); } // File else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) { return uri.getPath(); } return null; } /** * Get the value of the data column for this Uri.

有同样的问题,尝试了上述解决方案,但虽然它一般工作,出于某种原因,我得到了许多拒绝Uri内容提供商的一些图像,虽然我已经正确添加了android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS权限。

无论如何,发现其他解决方案是强制打开图片库,而不是KITKAT文档视图:

 // KITKAT i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(i, CHOOSE_IMAGE_REQUEST); 

然后加载图像:

 Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData(); input = c.getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImageURI); BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input , null, opts); 

编辑

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT可能会要求您保留权限标志等,通常会导致安全例外…

其他的解决方案是使用ACTION_GET_CONTENT结合c.getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImageURI) ,它将在KK和KK之前工作。 Kitkat将使用新的文件视图然后这个解决方案将适用于所有的应用程序,如照片,图库,文件资源管理器,Dropbox的,谷歌驱动器等…)但记住,当使用这个解决方案,你必须在onActivityResult()将其存储在SD卡上。 在下次应用程序启动时从保存的uri重新创建此映像,即使在添加Google API文档中描述的权限标记时也会抛出内容解析程序的安全性异常(这是我进行一些测试时发生的情况)

另外Android开发者API指南建议:

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT不打算替代ACTION_GET_CONTENT。 你应该使用的取决于你的应用程序的需求:

如果您希望应用程序只读取/导入数据,请使用ACTION_GET_CONTENT。 使用这种方法,应用程序会导入数据的副本,如图像文件。

如果您希望应用程序对文档提供者所拥有的文档具有长期的持久访问权限,请使用ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT。 一个例子是一个照片编辑应用程序,让用户编辑存储在文档提供程序中的图像。

就像Commonsware提到的,你不应该假设你通过ContentResolver获得的流可以转换成文件。

你应该做的是从ContentProvider打开InputStream ,然后创建一个Bitmap。 它也适用于4.4和更早版本,不需要反思。

  //cxt -> current context InputStream input; Bitmap bmp; try { input = cxt.getContentResolver().openInputStream(fileUri); bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input); } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) { } 

当然,如果你处理大的图像,你应该加载适当的inSampleSize : http : //developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html 。 但这是另一个话题。

我相信已经发表的回应应该让人们朝着正确的方向前进。 然而,这是我做了什么对我正在更新的遗留代码有意义。 遗留代码使用库中的URI来更改并保存图像。

在4.4(和谷歌驱动器)之前,URI将如下所示: content:// media / external / images / media / 41

正如问题所述,他们更多的时候是这样的: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951

由于我需要能够保存图像,而不是打扰已经存在的代码,我只是从库中的URI复制到应用程序的数据文件夹。 然后从数据文件夹中保存的图像文件中产生一个新的URI。

这是这个想法:

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(intent), CHOOSE_IMAGE_REQUEST); public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); File tempFile = new File(this.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath(), "temp_image"); //Copy URI contents into temporary file. try { tempFile.createNewFile(); copyAndClose(this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData()),new FileOutputStream(tempFile)); } catch (IOException e) { //Log Error } //Now fetch the new URI Uri newUri = Uri.fromFile(tempFile); /* Use new URI object just like you used to */ } 

注 – copyAndClose()只是执行文件I / O来将InputStream复制到FileOutputStream中。 该代码不张贴。

如何从URI获取实际的文件路径

回答

据我所知,我们不需要从URI获取文件路径,因为对于大多数情况,我们可以直接使用URI来完成我们的工作(比如1.获取位图2.发送文件到服务器等。)

1.发送到服务器

我们可以直接使用URI将文件发送到服务器。

使用URI我们可以得到InputStream,我们可以使用MultiPartEntity直接发送到服务器。

 /** * Used to form Multi Entity for a URI (URI pointing to some file, which we got from other application). * * @param uri URI. * @param context Context. * @return Multi Part Entity. */ public MultipartEntity formMultiPartEntityForUri(final Uri uri, final Context context) { MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE, null, Charset.forName("UTF-8")); try { InputStream inputStream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri); if (inputStream != null) { ContentBody contentBody = new InputStreamBody(inputStream, getFileNameFromUri(uri, context)); multipartEntity.addPart("[YOUR_KEY]", contentBody); } } catch (Exception exp) { Log.e("TAG", exp.getMessage()); } return multipartEntity; } /** * Used to get a file name from a URI. * * @param uri URI. * @param context Context. * @return File name from URI. */ public String getFileNameFromUri(final Uri uri, final Context context) { String fileName = null; if (uri != null) { // Get file name. // File Scheme. if (ContentResolver.SCHEME_FILE.equals(uri.getScheme())) { File file = new File(uri.getPath()); fileName = file.getName(); } // Content Scheme. else if (ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT.equals(uri.getScheme())) { Cursor returnCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null); if (returnCursor != null && returnCursor.moveToFirst()) { int nameIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME); fileName = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex); returnCursor.close(); } } } return fileName; } 

2.从URI获取一个BitMap

如果URI指向图像,那么我们将获得位图,否则为空:

 /** * Used to create bitmap for the given URI. * <p> * 1. Convert the given URI to bitmap. * 2. Calculate ratio (depending on bitmap size) on how much we need to subSample the original bitmap. * 3. Create bitmap bitmap depending on the ration from URI. * 4. Reference - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3879992/how-to-get-bitmap-from-an-uri * * @param context Context. * @param uri URI to the file. * @param bitmapSize Bitmap size required in PX. * @return Bitmap bitmap created for the given URI. * @throws IOException */ public static Bitmap createBitmapFromUri(final Context context, Uri uri, final int bitmapSize) throws IOException { // 1. Convert the given URI to bitmap. InputStream input = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri); BitmapFactory.Options onlyBoundsOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options(); onlyBoundsOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true; onlyBoundsOptions.inDither = true;//optional onlyBoundsOptions.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//optional BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, onlyBoundsOptions); input.close(); if ((onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth == -1) || (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight == -1)) { return null; } // 2. Calculate ratio. int originalSize = (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight > onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth) ? onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight : onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth; double ratio = (originalSize > bitmapSize) ? (originalSize / bitmapSize) : 1.0; // 3. Create bitmap. BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options(); bitmapOptions.inSampleSize = getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(ratio); bitmapOptions.inDither = true;//optional bitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//optional input = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri); Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, bitmapOptions); input.close(); return bitmap; } /** * For Bitmap option inSampleSize - We need to give value in power of two. * * @param ratio Ratio to be rounded of to power of two. * @return Ratio rounded of to nearest power of two. */ private static int getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(final double ratio) { int k = Integer.highestOneBit((int) Math.floor(ratio)); if (k == 0) return 1; else return k; } 

注释

  1. Android没有提供任何从URI获取文件路径的方法,在上面的大部分答案中,我们已经硬编码了一些常量,这些常量可能会在功能发布中破解(对不起,我可能是错的)。
  2. 在直接从URI获取文件路径的解决方案之前,尝试使用URI和Android默认方法解决用例问题。

我已经将多个答案结合到一个工作解决方案中,这个解决方案是以文件路径结果的

MIME类型与示例目的无关。

  Intent intent; if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19){ intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, false); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION); }else{ intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); } intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); intent.setType("application/octet-stream"); if(isAdded()){ startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_CODE); } 

处理结果

  @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if( requestCode == RESULT_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { Uri uri = data.getData(); if (uri != null && !uri.toString().isEmpty()) { if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19){ final int takeFlags = data.getFlags() & Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION; //noinspection ResourceType getActivity().getContentResolver() .takePersistableUriPermission(uri, takeFlags); } String filePath = FilePickUtils.getSmartFilePath(getActivity(), uri); // do what you need with it... } } }

这个Android库处理KitKat中的大小写更改(包括oldere版本 – 2.1+):
https://github.com/iPaulPro/aFileChooser

使用String path = FileUtils.getPath(context, uri)将返回的Uri转换为可在所有操作系统版本上使用的路径字符串。 在这里看到更多关于它: https : //stackoverflow.com/a/20559175/860488

这就是我所做的:

 Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData(); imageFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageURI)); private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) { Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null); if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path return contentURI.getPath(); } else { cursor.moveToFirst(); int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA); return cursor.getString(idx); } } 

注意: managedQuery()方法已被弃用,所以我没有使用它。

这个答案是从m3n0R问题android得到真正的路径通过Uri.getPath() ,我声称没有功劳。 我只是想,还没有解决这个问题的人可以使用这个。

对于仍在使用Android SDK版本23及以上版本的@Paul Burke代码的用户,如果您的项目遇到错误,说明您缺少EXTERNAL_PERMISSION,并且您确定已经在AndroidManifest.xml文件中添加了用户权限。 这是因为您可能会在Android API 23或更高版本中使用Google,并且在执行操作以在运行时访问文件时,需要再次保证权限。

这意味着:如果您的SDK版本是23或以上,当您选择图片文件并且想要知道它的URI时,您被请求读写权限。

以下是我的代码,除了保罗·伯克的解决方案。 我添加这些代码,我的项目开始正常工作。

 private static final int REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = 1; private static final String[] PERMISSINOS_STORAGE = { Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE }; public static void verifyStoragePermissions(Activity activity) { int permission = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE); if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ActivityCompat.requestPermissions( activity, PERMISSINOS_STORAGE, REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ); } } 

而在你的活动和片段你要求的URI:

 private void pickPhotoFromGallery() { CompatUtils.verifyStoragePermissions(this); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*"); // startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PHOTO_LIBRARY); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "选择照片"), REQUEST_PHOTO_LIBRARY); } 

在我的情况下,CompatUtils.java是我定义verifyStoragePermissions方法(作为静态类型,所以我可以在其他活动中调用它)。

在调用verifyStoragePermissions方法之前,如果首先创建一个if状态以查看当前的SDK版本是否高于23,那么它应该更有意义。

Please try to avoid using takePersistableUriPermission method because it raised runtime exception for me. /** * Select from gallery. * /

 public void selectFromGallery() { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < AppConstants.KITKAT_API_VERSION) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("image/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); ((Activity)mCalledContext).startActivityForResult(intent,AppConstants.GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED); } else { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("image/*"); ((Activity)mCalledContext).startActivityForResult(intent, AppConstants.GALLERY_AFTER_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED); } } 

OnActivity for result to handle the image data:

@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

  //gallery intent result handling before kit-kat version if(requestCode==AppConstants.GALLERY_INTENT_CALLED && resultCode == RESULT_OK) { Uri selectedImage = data.getData(); String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA}; Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]); String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex); cursor.close(); photoFile = new File(filePath); mImgCropping.startCropImage(photoFile,AppConstants.REQUEST_IMAGE_CROP); } //gallery intent result handling after kit-kat version else if (requestCode == AppConstants.GALLERY_AFTER_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED && resultCode == RESULT_OK) { Uri selectedImage = data.getData(); InputStream input = null; OutputStream output = null; try { //converting the input stream into file to crop the //selected image from sd-card. input = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage); try { photoFile = mImgCropping.createImageFile(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } output = new FileOutputStream(photoFile); int read = 0; byte[] bytes = new byte[1024]; while ((read = input.read(bytes)) != -1) { try { output.write(bytes, 0, read); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } 

Just wanted to say that this answer is brilliant and I'm using it for a long time without problems. But some time ago I've stumbled upon a problem that DownloadsProvider returns URIs in format content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2Fdoc.pdf and hence app is crashed with NumberFormatException as it's impossible to parse its uri segments as long. But raw: segment contains direct uri which can be used to retrieved a referenced file. So I've fixed it by replacing isDownloadsDocument(uri) if content with following:

 final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri); if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(id)) { if (id.startsWith("raw:")) { return id.replaceFirst("raw:", ""); } try { final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId( Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id)); return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { Timber.e(e, "Downloads provider returned unexpected uri %s, quitting", uri.toString()); return null; } } 

This is a total hack, but here's what I did…

So while playing with setting up a DocumentsProvider , I noticed that the sample code (in getDocIdForFile , around line 450) generates a unique id for a selected document based on the file's (unique) path relative to the specified root you give it (that is, what you set mBaseDir to on line 96).

So the URI ends up looking something like:

content://com.example.provider/document/root:path/to/the/file

As the docs say, it's assuming only a single root (in my case that's Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() but you may use somewhere else… then it takes the file path, starting at the root, and makes it the unique ID, prepending " root: ". So I can determine the path by eliminating the "/document/root: " part from uri.getPath(), creating an actual file path by doing something like this:

 public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { // check resultcodes and such, then... uri = data.getData(); if (uri.getAuthority().equals("com.example.provider")) { String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(0.toString() .concat("/") .concat(uri.getPath().substring("/document/root:".length()))); doSomethingWithThePath(path); } else { // another provider (maybe a cloud-based service such as GDrive) // created this uri. So handle it, or don't. You can allow specific // local filesystem providers, filter non-filesystem path results, etc. } 

我知道。 It's shameful, but it worked. Again, this relies on you using your own documents provider in your app to generate the document ID.

(Also, there's a better way to build the path that don't assume "/" is the path separator, etc. But you get the idea.)

If anyone's interested, I made a working Kotlin version for ACTION_GET_CONTENT :

 var path: String = uri.path // uri = any content Uri val databaseUri: Uri val selection: String? val selectionArgs: Array<String>? if (path.contains("/document/image:")) { // files selected from "Documents" databaseUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI selection = "_id=?" selectionArgs = arrayOf(DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri).split(":")[1]) } else { // files selected from all other sources, especially on Samsung devices databaseUri = uri selection = null selectionArgs = null } try { val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID, MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN) // some example data you can query val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(databaseUri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null) if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { // do whatever you like with the data } cursor.close() } catch (e: Exception) { Log.e(TAG, e.message, e) } 

This worked fine for me:

 else if(requestCode == GALLERY_ACTIVITY_NEW && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { Uri uri = data.getData(); Log.i(TAG, "old uri = " + uri); dumpImageMetaData(uri); try { ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor = getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r"); FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor(); Log.i(TAG, "File descriptor " + fileDescriptor.toString()); final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options(); options.inJustDecodeBounds = true; BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor, null, options); options.inSampleSize = BitmapHelper.calculateInSampleSize(options, User.PICTURE_MAX_WIDTH_IN_PIXELS, User.PICTURE_MAX_HEIGHT_IN_PIXELS); options.inJustDecodeBounds = false; Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor, null, options); imageViewPic.setImageBitmap(bitmap); ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream); // get byte array here byte[] picData = stream.toByteArray(); ParseFile picFile = new ParseFile(picData); user.setProfilePicture(picFile); } catch(FileNotFoundException exc) { Log.i(TAG, "File not found: " + exc.toString()); } } 

I've tried several of the answers here, and I think I have a solution that will work every time and manages permissions as well.

It is based on the clever solution from LEO. This post should contain all the code you need to make this work, and it should work on any phone and Android version 😉

In order to have the ability to pick a file from an SD card, you'll need this in your manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> 

Constants:

 private static final int PICK_IMAGE = 456; // Whatever number you like public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL = 28528; // Whatever number you like public static final String FILE_TEMP_NAME = "temp_image"; // Whatever file name you like 

Check permission and launchImagePick if possible

 if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getThis(), Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getThis(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL); } else { launchImagePick(); } 

Permission response

 @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String permissions[], @NonNull int[] grantResults) { if (manageReadExternalPermissionResponse(this, requestCode, grantResults)) { launchImagePick(); } } 

Manage permission response

 public static boolean manageReadExternalPermissionResponse(final Activity activity, int requestCode, int[] grantResults) { if (requestCode == MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL) { // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty. if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { // Permission was granted, yay! Do the // contacts-related task you need to do. return true; } else if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) { boolean showRationale = ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(activity, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE); if (!showRationale) { // The user also CHECKED "never ask again". // You can either enable some fall back, // disable features of your app // or open another dialog explaining // again the permission and directing to // the app setting. } else { // The user did NOT check "never ask again". // This is a good place to explain the user // why you need the permission and ask if he/she wants // to accept it (the rationale). } } else { // Permission denied, boo! Disable the // functionality that depends on this permission. } } return false; } 

Launch image pick

Manage Image pick response

 @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE) { if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { if (data != null && data.getData() != null) { try { InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData()) if (inputStream != null) { // No special persmission needed to store the file like that FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(FILE_TEMP_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1 << 10 << 3; // 8 KiB buffer byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE]; int bytesRead = -1; while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) > -1) { fos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead); } inputStream.close(); fos.close(); File tempImageFile = new File(getFilesDir()+"/"+FILE_TEMP_NAME); // Do whatever you want with the File // Delete when not needed anymore deleteFile(FILE_TEMP_NAME); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } else { // Error display } } else { // The user did not select any image } } } 

That's all folks; this works for me on all the telephones I have.

Building up on Paul Burke's answer I faced many problems resolving external SD card's URI path as most of the suggested "built-in" functions return paths which do not get resolved to files.

However, this is my approach of his // TODO handle non-primary volumes .

 String resolvedPath = ""; File[] possibleExtSdComposites = context.getExternalFilesDirs(null); for (File f : possibleExtSdComposites) { // Reset final path resolvedPath = ""; // Construct list of folders ArrayList<String> extSdSplit = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(f.getPath().split("/"))); // Look for folder "<your_application_id>" int idx = extSdSplit.indexOf(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID); // ASSUMPTION: Expected to be found at depth 2 (in this case ExtSdCard's root is /storage/0000-0000/) - eg /storage/0000-0000/Android/data/<your_application_id>/files ArrayList<String> hierarchyList = new ArrayList<>(extSdSplit.subList(0, idx - 2)); // Construct list containing full possible path to the file hierarchyList.add(tail); String possibleFilePath = TextUtils.join("/", hierarchyList); // If file is found --> success if (idx != -1 && new File(possibleFilePath).exists()) { resolvedPath = possibleFilePath; break; } } if (!resolvedPath.equals("")) { return resolvedPath; } else { return null; } 

Note it depends on hierarchy which might be different on every phone manufacturer – I have not tested them all (it worked well so far on Xperia Z3 API 23 and Samsung Galaxy A3 API 23).

Please confirm if it does not perform well elsewhere.

@paul burke's answer works fine for both camera and gallery pictures for API level 19 and above, but it doesn't work if your Android project's minimum SDK is set to below 19, and some answers referring above doesn't work for both gallery and camera. Well, I have modified @paul burke's code which works for API level below 19. Below is the code.

 public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) { final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT; Log.i("URI",uri+""); String result = uri+""; // DocumentProvider // if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) { if (isKitKat && (result.contains("media.documents"))) { String[] ary = result.split("/"); int length = ary.length; String imgary = ary[length-1]; final String[] dat = imgary.split("%3A"); final String docId = dat[1]; final String type = dat[0]; Uri contentUri = null; if ("image".equals(type)) { contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; } else if ("video".equals(type)) { } else if ("audio".equals(type)) { } final String selection = "_id=?"; final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { dat[1] }; return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs); } else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) { return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null); } // File else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) { return uri.getPath(); } return null; } public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs) { Cursor cursor = null; final String column = "_data"; final String[] projection = { column }; try { cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null); if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) { final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column); return cursor.getString(column_index); } } finally { if (cursor != null) cursor.close(); } return null; } 

The answer to your question is that you need to have permissions. Type the following code in your manifest.xml file:

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_OWNER_DATA"></uses-permission>` 

It worked for me…
