Cannot Upload Image From Gallery in Android Studio

Question

I want to upload image from gallery in my android app. When I click on button, the gallery should be opened. After selecting image, I want to open another activity named UploadActivity. There the thumbnail of the image should be previewed. The Upload Button will below the thumbnail.

But when I Choose photo from gallery, then the thumbnail of the image are not previewing. I am unable to upload the photo also. My Code goes here: (Scan.Java)

 private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 100;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
private static final int SELECT_IMAGE = 2;
private Uri fileUri; // file url to store image/video
ImageView dummy;
private Button btnCapturePicture;
private Button btnGallery;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.scan);
    dummy = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.dummyphoto);
    btnCapturePicture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCapturePicture);
    btnGallery = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGallery);
    /**
     * Capture image button click event
     */
    btnCapturePicture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // capture picture
            captureImage();
        }
    });

    btnGallery.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v){
            openGallery();
        }

    });

    // Checking camera availability
    if (!isDeviceSupportCamera()) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Sorry! Your device doesn't support camera",
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        // will close the app if the device does't have camera
        finish();
    }
}

/**

private boolean isDeviceSupportCamera() {
    if (getApplicationContext().getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(
            PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {

        return true;
    } else {
        // no camera on this device
        return false;
    }
}

UploadActivity.Java Code goes here:

        imgPreview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Here is Logcat:

E/MainActivity: Response from server: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/master/IMG_20170127_152930.jpg: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Answer 1

File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
        Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = new File(path, "IMG_20170127_152930.jpg");

//Try this.

Answer 2

After these changes i suggested below I hope your problem will be solved:

1. Remove these two lines from openGallery() because I think they are redundant.

 fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); 

They are needed when we use Intent.ACTION_PICK . So after editing openGallery() looks like:

private void openGallery(){
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Image"),SELECT_IMAGE);
}

2. Add this statement in your onActivityResult() :

fileUri = data.getData();

so it looks:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
...
else if (requestCode == SELECT_IMAGE)
{
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
    {
        if (data != null)
        {
                fileUri = data.getData(); //added this line
                launchUploadActivity(true);
        }
    } else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED)
    {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled",     Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}
}

3. Same applies to the camera intent also.

4. Request EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and also run time permission if your target Android version is 6.0 or above.

EDIT:

Sorry couple of things I have not mentioned those are required are given bellow:

1. You may like to send the Uri instead of path this way:

   private void launchUploadActivity(boolean isImage){ Intent i = new Intent(this, UploadActivity.class); i.setData(fileUri); // i.putExtra("filePath", fileUri.getPath()); i.putExtra("isImage", isImage); startActivity(i); }

2. And then in UploadActivity do the following:

   ... private InputStream mInputStream; // Use this stream to create bitmap and upload to server @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... // Receiving the data from previous activity Intent i = getIntent(); try { mInputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(i.getData()); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } ... } ...

   ... private void previewMedia(boolean isImage){ if (isImage) { imgPreview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options(); options.inSampleSize = 8; Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(mInputStream,null,options); imgPreview.setImageBitmap(bitmap); } else { imgPreview.setVisibility(View.GONE); } } ...

   This works for me and hope will work on you too.
