Path of Image to be passed in Uri.parse to open an image using intent

Question

I'm trying to open an image using intent. The path of the image in my storage is /storage/emulated/0/nitp/download/logo.png.

My code is

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_DEFAULT);
intent.setDataandType(Uri.parse("/storage/emulated/0/nitp/download/logo.png"),"image/*");
startActivity(intent);

I also tried putting file://storage/emulated/0/nitp/download/logo.png and content://storage/emulated/0/nitp/download/logo.png

What is the path I should use?

Solved Have to use file:///storage/emulated/0/nitp/downloads/logo.png

It promt the "choose application" dialogue but the app I select to doesn't open. It closes immediately and I'm again in my app's activity — Pablo Escobar, Jun 18 '16 at 06:23
what do you see on the logcat after calling `startActivity`? — pskink, Jun 18 '16 at 06:23
also what is the output of `adb shell ls -l /storage/emulated/0/nitp/download/logo.png` ? — pskink, Jun 18 '16 at 06:25
When I try add shell ls storage/emulated/0/nitp/downloads it says no such directory. But instead it shows that directory is /storage/sdcard0/nitp/downloads. — Pablo Escobar, Jun 18 '16 at 06:50

For Pick image from media Storage or SD Card:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);

And For get the path of Image and set in ImageView:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {
        Uri filePath = data.getData();
        try {
            //Getting the Bitmap from Gallery
            imgpath= MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), filePath);
            //Setting the Bitmap to ImageView
            imageViewProfileImage.setImageBitmap(imgpath);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Hope this work.
