Not getting correct Path when Select Image from Gallery

When I take an image by Camera, its works fine and I get the image path to save in SQLite database and can retrieve the path to show required image. But when I select an image from Gallery I don't get the correct path which I need to save in database for the further retrieve. I don't get image cause the path is incorrect when I save path in the database. So my question is - how can I get the correct absolute path of the gallery image?

  @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
private void onCaptureImageResult(Intent data) {

    Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    thumbnail.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);

    File destination = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");

    FileOutputStream fo;
    try {
        destination.createNewFile();
        fo = new FileOutputStream(destination);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
        fo.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(destination.getAbsolutePath());
    ivImage.setImageBitmap(bm);
    showImagepathET.setText(destination.getAbsolutePath());// This path will save in database
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void onSelectFromGalleryResult(Intent data) {

    Bitmap bm=null;
    if (data != null) {
        try {
            bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    File destination = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
    showImagepathET.setText(destination.getAbsolutePath());// This path will save in database
    ivImage.setImageBitmap(bm);
}

Here, I get the correct image to show in ImageView ivImage in both take an image by camera or gallery. But I don't get the path correctly when I pick an image from Gallery(works fine when I take camera Image) which I save in database for further path retrieve.

At last, I decided to do the same procedure what I did in Method "onCaptureImageResult(Intent data)". The image I get from the Gallery stored again to a directory.I know this is absolutely not the good procedure, but it solved my problem temporally until I get a good answer.

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void onSelectFromGalleryResult(Intent data) {

    Bitmap bm=null;
    if (data != null) {
        try {
            bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);

    File destination = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");

    FileOutputStream fo;
    try {
        destination.createNewFile();
        fo = new FileOutputStream(destination);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
        fo.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    Bitmap bm1 = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(destination.getAbsolutePath());
    ivImage.setImageBitmap(bm1);
    String selectedImageUri = data.getData().getPath();
    showImagepathET.setText(destination.getAbsolutePath());

}

how i can get this selected image path

For what feels like the 3,735th time, there is no "selected image path". You are getting a Uri back (data.getData()); a Uri does not have to point to a file. For example, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/44057912/not-getting-correct-path-when-select-image-from-gallery is a Uri; it does not represent a file on the filesystem.

If you want a file, use a file-picker library.
