`getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri)` throws FileNotFoundException

I use this intent to let user select a photo:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, 
                           MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, INTENT_SELECT_PHOTO);

And in onActivityResult:

Uri uri = data.getData();
InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

But it throws FileNotFoundException on some android devices.

The value of uri:

content://media/external/images/media/26467

The exception thrown:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such file or directory

And it's very strange that it won't throw this exception on some other android devices. What will cause this error and how to fix it?

Use Context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(Uri);

I face the same problem but I resolved it by using the setImageURI method of the ImageView.

You dont have to use the following code:

InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

Simply use the following function:

imageViewCustomer.setImageURI(data.getData());

MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI

for images on the local device or

MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI

for images on the SD card.

Are you sure you are addressing both correctly? The internal/external treatment varies with device, maybe that is why its working on some but not on others.
