How to get the image path as soon as user opens it from phone gallery?

Question

Answer 1

First call this intent to pick image from gallery :

private static final int SELECT_PHOTO = 100;

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);

When you are done with select image from gallery it will automatically call this onActivityResult method :

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
            Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);

        switch (requestCode) {
        case SELECT_PHOTO:
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
                try {
                    yourImageView.setImageBitmap(decodeUri(selectedImage));
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }

You will get image path in selectedImage variable.

Thanks.
