BitmapFactory.decodeFile returns fileNotFoundException

Question

I have a problem concerning the BitMapFactory.decodeFile.

In my app, I want to user to be able to select an image from his/her device or take a photograph. This must then be displayed in an ImageView (medication_photo). I try to downscale the image as well because in my previous code I got OutOfMemory errors.

The problem is that after selecting an image, my app throws this exception:

FileNotFoundException: Unable to decode stream: 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /content:/media/external/images/media/1499:
open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Code snippet:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (requestCode == CAPTURE_PHOTO) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String result = data.getDataString();
            setPhoto(result);
        }
    }

    // browse photo
    if (requestCode == BROWSE_PHOTO) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String result = data.getDataString();
            setPhoto(result);
        }
        if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {

        }
    }
}



private void setPhoto(String path) {
    // re-scale image first
    try {
        File file = new File(path);
        Log.e("MedicationAdd.setPhoto->file",file.getAbsolutePath()); // this did not work 

        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true; 
        BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path,options); // FileNotFound
        options.inSampleSize = scaleDownBitmap(options, options.outWidth, options.outHeight);
        Log.e("MedicationAdd.setPhoto->path",path);
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        this.bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path,options); // FileNotFound

        this.medication_photo.setImageBitmap(this.bm);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("MedicationAdd.setPhoto", e.toString());
    }
}

Solution 1

Try this....image uri

Uri imageUri = data.getData();
try {
   bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
   iv_profile.setImageBitmap(bm);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
}

This will probably work, but it causes OutOfMemory errors. I tried to downscale the image before it allocates memory.

The 'File file = new File(path);' I forgot to remove, I do not use it. The path is passed to setPhoto from onActivityResult.

I still don't understand, it works when I use MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri); So how can I find the right path?
