Question

I know how to programatically get a gallery image (one by one).

Now that the gallery is organised folderwise

Is there a way to select and get the path of a folder in the gallery view...

With this method you can get the path of the Gallery of your device:

private static String getGalleryPath() {
        return photoDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM + "/";   
    }

This works great (+1), but what to do when user has default image/video location set to SD card? How to detect and handle this? – Episodex Oct 13 '15 at 06:10

You can get path here but MediaScanner will find every folder on SDCARD with photos.

final String path = android.os.Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM;

Please! give the details, instead just dropping link here, because link may die someday and your answer will be no more useful. – swiftBoy Oct 29 '13 at 05:52

This is incorrect. DIRECTORY_DCIM only returns the string "DCIM". Not the path. – dvallejo Feb 15 '16 at 22:56

String getGalleryPath() {
    File folder = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);

    if (!folder.exists()) {
        folder.mkdir();
    }

    return folder.getAbsolutePath();
}
