BitmapFactory decodeFile FileNotFoundException

Question

I have an app where you can select images from the gallery or Photos folder on the device. The selected file's paths are stored in an Intent so they can be passed around between Activities. I access the paths via intent.getDataString().

Once i have all the selected paths to the images, i store them in an ArrayList and pass that to an ImageAdapter, to display in a ListView.

I'm geting a FileNotFoundException, Has anyone any ideas why?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The path you are getting is not real path of the Image it is a Uri.If you want to set it it ImageView set it like

imageView.setImageURI(Uri.parse(imagePaths.get(position)));

or

get the Real path by passing your URI and set it to ImageView

private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) {
String result;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
    result = contentURI.getPath();
} else { 
    cursor.moveToFirst(); 
    int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA); 
    result = cursor.getString(idx);
    cursor.close();
}
return result;
}
