Android issue with creating image upload

Question

I am trying to figure out was is wrong here, I am building a form for users to be able to upload a profile picture. When clicking the button it takes you to the android gallery (would like to let the user take a picture right then and there) but once a picture is selected the app crashes not sure why but I think the error is pointing to the line with the method below for getRealPathFromURI(currImageURI) I have tried searching for different solutions but they seem to show the same response of how to do this... Like this How to get the Full file path from URI http://monstercoda.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/android-image-upload-tutorial-part-i/

The code:

@Override
        public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                if(requestCode == 1) {
                              Uri currImageURI = data.getData();
                    Log.d("The path","Current image path is ---->" + getRealPathFromURI(currImageURI));
                    TextView tv_path = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.path);
                    tv_path.setText(getRealPathFromURI(currImageURI));

                }
            }
        }

        public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
            String res = null;
            String[] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri,proj, null, null, null);
            if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
                res = cursor.getString(column_index);
            }
            cursor.close();
            return res;
        }

The Error:

Nice I like your post, going to check it out, do you also, share on how to serve the image to the backend servers so it can be stored for seeing the picture show up when on any device? – Lion789 Dec 23 '13 at 04:22
Also, where are you getting Utility from in your post? – Lion789 Dec 23 '13 at 04:30
let me know if you have any query ,and make green mark if this answer is helpful to you – Chintan Khetiya Dec 23 '13 at 04:57
I was trying to connect your tutorial to my current code, how do I include your picture_selection class in my onClickListener for my button, I was trying this but it crashes the app... Intent intent = new Intent(myClass.this, Picture_Selection.class); startActivity(intent); – Lion789 Dec 23 '13 at 05:37
