Android Intent ImageChooser Image Path

Question

I am using Android Intent Chooser to select a photo from gallery with following code.

ivAvatar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("image/*");
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Bir fotoğraf seçin ..."), 1);
        }
    });

After selection using the path I fill the imageview with following code :

Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();

        imagepath = ImagePathUtil.getPath(getApplicationContext(), selectedImageUri);
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagepath);
        ivAvatar.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

        selectedU = selectedImageUri;

        File f = new File(String.valueOf(selectedU));

        if(f.exists())
        {
            int i = 1;

        }

Image can be viewed without any problems, but the File object I create afterwards File 's exists() method always return false.

It is returning false because the file will be null. Please look at the below post for more details on how to get the real path from URI.

URI from Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT into File
