How to get the Image location from URI string in terms of integer

Question

What i have programmed : I am using camera which selects the image from camera or gallery and returns an Uri on onActivityREsult

---

I have a Uri location which i retrieved from the camera

String mUri="------------------";

Now using mUri how can i find the image location(place where the URI is pointing to) in terms of int .

Should i need to create a file with it ?, why to create a file since the image is already created ?

Answer 1

With the help of Commonsware in one of the comments. I resolved this issue by converting back a string to URI object.

Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/cats.jpg"))
