Create File from Uri type android

Question

I\'m trying to select image from gallery then convert this image to File and send it via HttpPost but I\'m getting always FileNotFoundException. This my Code :

Answer 1

 Uri currImageURI = data.getData();

printing currImageURI will give you some thing like this:

content://media/external/images/media/47

But what we need is the absolute path of that particular image . So we need to get real path from uri

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
  Cursor cursor = null;
  try { 
    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,  proj, null, null, null);
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getString(column_index);
  } finally {
    if (cursor != null) {
      cursor.close();
    }
  }
}

Now modifiy your code like

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == 1) {
                // currImageURI is the global variable I’m using to hold the content:
                currImageURI = data.getData();
                //Save the currImageUri (URI type) to global variable.
                photosHolder.getInstance().setOneIm(getRealPathFromURI(getActivity(),currImageURI));
            }
        }
    }

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
  Cursor cursor = null;
  try { 
    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,  proj, null, null, null);
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getString(column_index);
  } finally {
    if (cursor != null) {
      cursor.close();
    }
  }
}
