Getting the file path from a picture in ImageView

Question

Alright I am making an Android app, and using the CAPTURE_PIC_REQUEST to take a picture and store it as a preview on the screen in an imageviewer. I wanted to know how to get the Uri and actually path because I am planning on taking that information, saving it and accessing it later. So I can't figure how to get the Uri or path name from that picture I just took. Here is the code from my activity that is handling

package com.CS480; import java.io.File; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView; public class AddEx extends Activity { static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1337; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.add); Button camera = (Button) findViewById(R.id.picButton); camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST); } }); } @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) { Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.returnedPic); image.setImageBitmap(thumbnail); } } }

So how from that image that I am getting back on the app do I get the file location

As far as I know, you can do something like this:

private Uri mImageCaptureUri; public class AddEx extends Activity { static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1337; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.add); Button camera = (Button) findViewById(R.id.picButton); camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); cameraIntent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageCaptureUri); startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST); } }); } @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) { Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.returnedPic); image.setImageBitmap(thumbnail); String pathToImage = mImageCaptureUri.getPath(); // pathToImage is a path you need. // If image file is not in there, // you can save it yourself manually with this code: File file = new File(mImageCaptureUri.getPath()); FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fOut); // You can choose any format you want } }

From Android documentation about android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT:

The name of the Intent-extra used to indicate a content resolver Uri to be used to store the requested image or video.

You can try getting the URI of the image with

data.getExtras.get("URI");

but this might not work. What you can do is simply save the Bitmap yourself. See this question for a guide on how to do that: Save bitmap to location

When you take your image, you must store it somewhere to get the location of the image.

To do this, you can store to the MediaStore:

String result = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), bitmap, "", ""); imageFileUri = Uri.parse(result);

Try this get image file path form Bitmap

public void uploadBitmap(Context mContext, Bitmap bitmap) { String imagePath = null; ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes); Uri uri; Cursor cursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, new String[]{MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION}, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, null, "date_added DESC"); if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) { do { uri = Uri.parse(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA))); imagePath = uri.toString(); Log.d("pathatka", uri.toString()); break; } while (cursor.moveToNext()); cursor.close(); } }

The android documentation has an example of defining a file URI for saving the output when you setup the Intent for your image capture.
