Question

How Can I Get the Uri of Image if I Open the Gallery and Select Image and share with my App, but Image is not showing in ImageView

Answer 1

Open gallery for getting Image Uri

 private static final int REQUEST_SELECT_IMAGE = 100;

  private void handleOpenGallery() {
        Intent intentSelect = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        intentSelect.setType("image/*");
        startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intentSelect, getString(R.string.select_picture)),
                REQUEST_SELECT_IMAGE);
    }

Uri of selected Image

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_SELECT_IMAGE) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            Uri uri = data.getData();
            shareImage(uri);
        }
    }
}

Share Image

  private void shareImage(Uri imageUri) {
        Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
        shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
        shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share to"));
    }

Answer 2

You can follow below code by Raghu to open gallery,

if you only want to open gallery then you can use,

Intent intentSelect = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);

Add check for read/write permissions if OS version is above Marshmallow(6.0)

If you still don't get the uri then in onActivityResult when you will fetch the uri try the getPath method from here

Add check if the Android OS version is above Nougat(7.0) or not, as above nougat while fetching file uri you may get "FileUriExposedException" refer this link for more info
