How to get absolute path when select image from gallery and SD Card (Kitkat and lower android version)?
In Kitkat version we get different Uri format(DocumentProvider)
Now Uri format like this : content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951
Before Uri format like this : content://media/external/images/media/3951.
1. AbsolutePathActivity.java Activity Class
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AbsolutePathActivity extends Activity
{
private static final int MY_INTENT_CLICK=302;
private TextView txta;
private Button btn_selectImage;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_absolutepath);
txta = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
btn_selectImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_selectImage);
btn_selectImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "<span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">Select</span> File"),MY_INTENT_CLICK);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
if (requestCode == MY_INTENT_CLICK)
{
if (null == data) return;
String selectedImagePath;
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
selectedImagePath = ImageFilePath.getPath(getApplicationContext(), selectedImageUri);
Log.i("Image File Path", ""+selectedImagePath);
txta.setText("File Path : \n"+selectedImagePath);
}
}
}
}
Copy below class on your application for getting Gallery image file Uri AbsolutePath.
