I am creating an app which uploads a selected image from the gallery and uploads it to a web service. The webservice requires the filename of selected image plus a base64 e

Answer 1

Try this:

Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData();
imageFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageURI));

And

    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); 
    }
}
