You can parse and get Uri like this:

// Add an Uri instance to an Intent
intent.putExtra("imageUri", uri);

Then, when you need it, just get it back this way:

// Get an Uri from an Intent
Uri uri = intent.getParcelableExtra("imageUri");

You can convert a uri to String as follows:-

intent.putExtra("singleImage", uri.toString());

and then while getting intent convert String to uri back

Uri myUri = Uri.parse(extras.getString("singleImage"));

when saving

String str = myUri.toString();
intent.putExtra("singleImage", uri);

and when loading

String str = getIntent().getStringExtra("singleImage");
Uri myUri = Uri.parse(str);

Hope it will help you :)
