I want to create a picture chooser from gallery. I use code
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, TFRequestCodes.GALLERY);
My problem is that in this activity and video files are displayed. Is there a way to filter displayed files so that no video files will be displayed in this activity?
The answer is
U can do it easier than this answers :
Uri Selected_Image_Uri = data.getData();
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.loadedimg);
imageView.setImageURI(Selected_Image_Uri);
You can use this method to pick image from gallery. Only images will be displayed.
public void pickImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("scale", true);
intent.putExtra("outputX", 256);
intent.putExtra("outputY", 256);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
and override onActivityResult as
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
return;
}
if (requestCode == 1) {
final Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
//Get image
Bitmap newProfilePic = extras.getParcelable("data");
}
}
}
Sometimes, you can't get a file from the picture you choose. It's because the choosen one came from Google+, Drive, Dropbox or any other provider.
The best solution is to ask the system to pick a content via Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT and get the result with a content provider.
You can follow the code bellow or look at my updated gist.
public void pickImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_PHOTO_FOR_AVATAR);
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == PICK_PHOTO_FOR_AVATAR && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
//Display an error
return;
}
InputStream inputStream = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData());
//Now you can do whatever you want with your inpustream, save it as file, upload to a server, decode a bitmap...
}
}
Just to offer an update to the answer for people with API min 19, per the docs:
On Android 4.4 (API level 19) and higher, you have the additional option of using the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT intent, which displays a system-controlled picker UI controlled that allows the user to browse all files that other apps have made available. From this single UI, the user can pick a file from any of the supported apps.
On Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher, you can also use the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent, which allows the user to choose a directory for a client app to access.
Open files using storage access framework - Android Docs
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
intent.type = "image/*"
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE)
public void FromCamera() {
Log.i("camera", "startCameraActivity()");
File file = new File(path);
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(
android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
public void FromCard() {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, 2);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 2 && resultCode == RESULT_OK
&& null != data) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath);
image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
if (bitmap != null) {
ImageView rotate = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.rotate);
}
} else {
Log.i("SonaSys", "resultCode: " + resultCode);
switch (resultCode) {
case 0:
Log.i("SonaSys", "User cancelled");
break;
case -1:
onPhotoTaken();
break;
}
}
}
protected void onPhotoTaken() {
// Log message
Log.i("SonaSys", "onPhotoTaken");
taken = true;
imgCapFlag = true;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 4;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
I have same problem .I use this codes
addIntent
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Tack Image"), PICK_PHOTO);
add onActivityResult
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == PICK_PHOTO && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
//error
return;
}
try {
Uri uri = data.getData();
File file = FileUtil.from(currentActivity, uri);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
FileUtil class

return newFile;
}
private static long copy(InputStream input, OutputStream output) throws IOException {

byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
while (EOF != (n = input.read(buffer))) {

}
return count;
}
}
and you must add provider_paths.xml to xml folder like image
provider_paths.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
and finaly add below in AndroidManifest.xml
<application
...>
...
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
...
</application>
I hope I helped
If you are only looking for images and multiple selection.
Look @ once https://stackoverflow.com/a/15029515/1136023
It's helpful for future.I personally feel great by using MultipleImagePick.
For only pick from local add this :
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY,true)
And this working nice :
val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT,MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
i.type = "image/*"
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY,true)
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i,"Select Photo"),pickImageRequestCode)
Here is a full example for request permission (if need), pick image from gallery, then convert image to bitmap or file
AndroidManifesh.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Activity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
button_pick_image.setOnClickListener {

}
}
private fun pickImage() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
val intent = Intent(
Intent.ACTION_PICK,
MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
)
intent.type = "image/*"
intent.putExtra("crop", "true")
intent.putExtra("scale", true)
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 16)
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 9)
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE)
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
this,
arrayOf(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE),
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE
)
}
}
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) {
return
}
val uri = data?.data
if (uri != null) {
val imageFile = uriToImageFile(uri)
// todo do something with file
}
if (uri != null) {
val imageBitmap = uriToBitmap(uri)
// todo do something with bitmap
}
}
}
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
when (requestCode) {
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE -> {
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// pick image after request permission success
pickImage()
}
}
}
}

val filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex)
cursor.close()
return File(filePath)
