Answer 1

This is what you really need:

Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE +
"://" + getResources().getResourcePackageName(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
+ '/' + getResources().getResourceTypeName(R.drawable.ic_launcher) + '/' + getResources().getResourceEntryName(R.drawable.ic_launcher) );
