Get path from gallery without failing delivering Result

Question

My application works fine on some devices. Unfortunately others reported the following bug Failure delivering result which i dont know how to solve

So i use the following code:

 @Override
         public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

                    if (requestCode == 1 && data!=null) {

                        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

                        Uri uri = data.getData();

                        String s = getPath(uri); //Null string on some devices
                     if(s!=null){
                         File f = new File(s);
                         }
                        else{
                    //????????
                          }
                        if(resultCode== RESULT_CANCELED){

                        }

                }
            }

And one method called getPath:

public String getPath(Uri uri) {
    // just some safety built in 
    if( uri == null ) {

        return null;
    }
    // try to retrieve the image from the media store first
    // this will only work for images selected from gallery
    String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
    if( cursor != null ){
        int column_index = cursor
        .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }

    return uri.getPath();

} Also when user click:

image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView7);
    i.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
             Intent intent1 = new Intent();
             intent1.setType("image/*");
             intent1.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
             startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent1,"Picture"), 1);
        }
    });

And lastly what i got from logcat

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try this intent

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);

Try this onActivityResult:

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
            String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            cursor.close();
            ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgView);
            imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
        }
    }
