Android Get Real Path By Uri.getPath()


Answer :

This is what I do:

Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData(); imageFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageURI));

and:

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; }

NOTE: managedQuery() method is deprecated, so I am not using it.

Last edit: Improvement. We should close cursor!!


Is it really necessary for you to get a physical path?
For example, ImageView.setImageURI() and ContentResolver.openInputStream() allow you to access the contents of a file without knowing its real path.


@Rene Juuse - above in comments... Thanks for this link !

. the code to get the real path is a bit different from one SDK to another so below we have three methods that deals with different SDKs.

getRealPathFromURI_API19(): returns real path for API 19 (or above but not tested) getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(): returns real path for API 11 to API 18 getRealPathFromURI_below11(): returns real path for API below 11

public class RealPathUtil {  @SuppressLint("NewApi") public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri){     String filePath = "";     String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);       // Split at colon, use second item in the array      String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];       String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };            // where id is equal to                   String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";       Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,                                 column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);       int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);       if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {          filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);      }         cursor.close();      return filePath; }   @SuppressLint("NewApi") public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {       String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };       String result = null;        CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(               context,          contentUri, proj, null, null, null);               Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();        if(cursor != null){        int column_index =           cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);        cursor.moveToFirst();        result = cursor.getString(column_index);       }       return result;   }  public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri){            String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };            Cursor 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); }

UPDATE 2016 March

To fix all problems with path of images i try create a custom gallery as facebook and other apps. This is because you can use just local files ( real files, not virtual or temporary) , i solve all problems with this library.

https://github.com/nohana/Laevatein (this library is to take photo from camera or choose from galery , if you choose from gallery he have a drawer with albums and just show local files)

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
