Android getting pictures from photo's gallery - error on some devices


I have a function on my app which I open the photo's gallery and select an image to show in a ImageView. The weird thing is, on my Samsung Galaxy S5, the code work perfectly, but when I try on an ASUS Zenphone, or Motorola Moto X the code just doesn't work and the application crashes.
All the devices has the same Android version (5.0)

Here is my code samples:

Intent to open photo's gallery:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, IMG_SDCARD);

Activity Result:

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

    File file = null;

    if(data != null && requestCode == IMG_SDCARD && resultCode == getActivity().RESULT_OK){
        Uri img = data.getData();

        String[] cols = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(img, cols, null, null, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();

        int indexCol = cursor.getColumnIndex(cols[0]);
        String imgString = cursor.getString(indexCol);
        cursor.close();

        file = new File(imgString);

        if(file != null){
            wd.getImage().setResizedBitmap(file, 1200, 700);
            wd.getImage().setMimeFromImgPath(file.getPath());
        }
    }

    if(wd.getImage().getBitmap() != null){
        imageView.setImageBitmap(wd.getImage().getBitmap());
    }
}

Would you guys have ever seen something like this?
Could have differences on getting images from the photo's gallery between the different devices?

EDIT
This is the log error:

Solution

  • public static final int GALLERY_INTENT_REQUEST_CODE = 0x000005;
    

    To open Gallery & get path of selected image use following code :

    Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
     photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
     photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());        
     mActPanelFragment.startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, ActivityConstantUtils.GALLERY_INTENT_REQUEST_CODE);
    

    After that you get path in onActivityResult() method

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    (requestCode == ActivityConstantUtils.GALLERY_INTENT_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
    try {
                String imagePath = getFilePath(data);
                // TODO: Here you set data to preview screen
        }catch(Exception e){}
    }
    }
    
    private String getFilePath(Intent data) {
        String imagePath;
        Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
        String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    
        Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
    
        int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
        imagePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
        cursor.close();
    
        return imagePath;
    
    }
