Get the Original file path From the Uri in the OnActivity Result

First of all pass the Intent to pick the image from the external storage.. or gelllary

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, 

      Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

    startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

OnActivityResult write the following code snippet

@Override

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

  

  if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){

   

   image.setImageBitmap(null);

   

   //Uri return from external activity

   orgUri = data.getData();

   text1.setText("Returned Uri: " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");

   

   //path converted from Uri

   convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);

   text2.setText("Real Path: " + convertedPath + "\n");

   

   //Uri convert back again from path

   uriFromPath = Uri.fromFile(new File(convertedPath));

   text3.setText("Back Uri: " + uriFromPath.toString() + "\n");

  }

  

 }

Getting the real path of the Image using the Uri returned in OnActivityResult...

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {

  String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

  

  //This method was deprecated in API level 11

  //Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);

  

  CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(

            this, 

            contentUri, proj, null, null, null);        

  Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();

  

  int column_index = 

    cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);

  cursor.moveToFirst();

  return cursor.getString(column_index); 

 }
