Convert Uri to String and String to Uri

Question

I\'m developing some Application which allows select image from SD Card, save it into database and set this value for ImageView. I need to know way for converting uri to str

Answer 1

You can use Drawable instead of Uri.

   ImageView iv=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
   String pathName = "/external/images/media/470939"; 
   Drawable image = Drawable.createFromPath(pathName);
   iv.setImageDrawable(image);

This would work.
