public String getPath(Uri uri) {
   String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

   cursor.moveToFirst();
   return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

Answer 1

Simple as this:

Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("file://"+yourFileName));
startActivity(in);

Default app for viewing pictures will start, or if there's no default, user get selection dialog which app to use.

Answer 2

you really dont need to use database to view taken picture.

1. To get new image - open an intent for Camera. like this
2. To see all other captured images, open Gallery. see this discussion

Answer 3

heres a good overview of opening data via intents on your phone. All this documentation is in here as well http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html but not as clear to follow.

http://indyvision.net/2010/03/android-using-intents-open-files/

 File imageFile2View = new File("/sdcard/nice_photo.jpeg");
 Intent i = new Intent();
 i.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
 i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(imageFile2View), "image/jpeg");
 startActivity(i);

Now if what your looking for is to display the picture you took in your own activity you can use.

String file = String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis());
//SAVE IMAGE TO file
img.setImageURI(URI.parse(file));

or

String file = String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis());
//SAVE IMAGE TO file
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file);
img.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
