Android get image full path

Question

I am very new to android development and I am trying to get the image exif data selected from gallery. I am able to open the gallery and choose an image. But as I see online I need to get the image path which I am not able to get as

cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);

is returning 0.

This is my code

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) { Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData(); selectedImagePath = getRealPathFromURI(this,selectedImageUri); } } }

My function to get the real path is this

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; } android { compileSdkVersion 25 buildToolsVersion "26.0.0" defaultConfig { applicationId "*****" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 25 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } }

}

Am I missing something?

I need to display the exif data of the image and maybe try to update them. The links I read said that I should get the image path. the real one. — mohsinali1317

then use ExifInterface(FileDescriptor fileDescriptor) or ExifInterface(InputStream inputStream) constructors, or even better see @CommonsWare answer below — pskink

Wherever you are going "online" is incorrect. For starters, there is no "image path".

My function to get the real path is this

That code has never been a good solution, has never worked well, and will fail for many Uri values.

I am trying to get the image exif data selected from gallery

Step #1: Add the support-exifinterface library to your project

Step #2: Call getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImageUri) to get an InputStream on the content identified by the Uri

Step #3: Pass that InputStream to the android.support.media.ExifInterface constructor

Step #4: Use that ExifInterface to get at your EXIF headers

try this :

 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); }

This doesn't work. I have already tried this one. But thanks. :)
