Answer 1

You can't get a path to file from WhatsApp. They don't expose it now. The only thing you can get is InputStream:

InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(Uri.parse("content://com.whatsapp.provider.media/item/16695"));

Using is you can show a picture from WhatsApp in your app.
