Android app getting crash when select image from Recent images from gallery

Question

My app work perfectly when select image from Pictures or images categories in Gallery but app getting crash when select image from recent images

This is my intent call

galleryLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(getActivity(), perms_gallery)) {
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setType("image/*");
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
                intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), SELECT_FILE);
            }else {
                EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(getActivity(), getString(R.string.read_file),
                        READ_REQUEST_CODE, perms_gallery);
            }
        }
    });

Crash happen from here String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];

public String getPathFromUriGallery(Context context, Uri uri) {
    Cursor cursor = null;
    try {
        String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
        String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
        String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";

        String[] filePath = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, filePath, sel, new String[]{id}, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePath[0]);
        return  cursor.getString(columnIndex);
    } finally {
        if (cursor != null) {
            cursor.close();
        }
    }
}

this my error log

Answer 1

The problem lies with ACTION_GET_CONTENT.

This is because it allows user to pick the image from Recent.

In order to solve the problem, I highly recommend using ACTION_PICK.

galleryLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(getActivity(), perms_gallery)) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
                intent.setType("image/*");
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);              
                startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), SELECT_FILE);
            }else {
                EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(getActivity(), getString(R.string.read_file),
                        READ_REQUEST_CODE, perms_gallery);
            }
        }
    });

Answer 2

When I select the image from recent then the image is broken in android | Multiple images from recent

I have mentioned below my answer link please go there and find your solutions

You can find the full post from this link || Click link here

Also, you can find here

Sample preview

Call multiple images select

 Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                        i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
                        i.setType("image/*");
                        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
                        *gallery*.launch(i);

gallery basically startActivityForResult(i,123) and OnActivityResult method is deprecated, the gallery is alternative which is defined below

ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> gallery = choosePhotoFromGallery();

and choosePhotoFromGallery() is method which is define below

private ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> choosePhotoFromGallery() {
    return registerForActivityResult(
            new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
            result -> {
                try {
                    if (result.getResultCode() == RESULT_OK) {
                        if (null != result.getData()) {
                            if (result.getData().getClipData() != null) {
                                ClipData mClipData = result.getData().getClipData();
                                for (int i = 0; i < mClipData.getItemCount(); i++) {
                                    ClipData.Item item = mClipData.getItemAt(i);
                                    Uri uri = item.getUri();
                                    String imageFilePathColumn = getPathFromURI(this, uri);
                                    productImagesList.add(imageFilePathColumn);
                                }
                            } else {
                                if (result.getData().getData() != null) {
                                    Uri mImageUri = result.getData().getData();
                                    String imageFilePathColumn = getPathFromURI(this, mImageUri);
                                    productImagesList.add(imageFilePathColumn);
                                }
                            }
                        } else {
                            showToast(this, "You haven't picked Image");
                            productImagesList.clear();
                        }
                    } else {
                        productImagesList.clear();
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    showToast(this, "Something went wrong");
                    productImagesList.clear();
                }
            });
}

and getPathFromURI() is method which define below

 public String getPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
    OutputStream out;
    File file = getPath();

    try {
        if (file.createNewFile()) {
            InputStream iStream = context != null ? context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(contentUri) : context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(contentUri);
            byte[] inputData = getBytes(iStream);
            out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            out.write(inputData);
            out.close();
            return file.getAbsolutePath();
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

private byte[] getBytes(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int bufferSize = 1024;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];

    int len = 0;
    while ((len = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        byteBuffer.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    return byteBuffer.toByteArray();
}

and the getPath() is

private File getPath() {
    File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Download");
    if (!folder.exists()) {
        folder.mkdir();
    }
    return new File(folder.getPath(), System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
}

Answer 3

Use Document provider instead.

For eg:

Intent it = new Intent();
it.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
it.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(it, 1000);

----------------------

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == 1000) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
            try {
                Bitmap bm = getBitmapFromUri(data.getData());
                iv.setImageBitmap(bm);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

private Bitmap getBitmapFromUri(Uri uri) throws IOException {
    ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
            getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
    FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
    Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
    parcelFileDescriptor.close();
    return image;
}

Answer 4

I found this solution from this github sample https://github.com/maayyaannkk/ImagePicker

This is the solution for above issue

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK
            && null != data) {

        Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
        String   imageEncoded = getRealPathFromURI(getActivity(), selectedImageUri);
        Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageString);
        image.setImageBitmap(selectedImage);
    }
}

These method use for get image url

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
    OutputStream out;
    File file = new File(getFilename(context));

    try {
        if (file.createNewFile()) {
            InputStream iStream = context != null ? context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(contentUri) : context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(contentUri);
            byte[] inputData = getBytes(iStream);
            out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            out.write(inputData);
            out.close();
            return file.getAbsolutePath();
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

private byte[] getBytes(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int bufferSize = 1024;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];

    int len = 0;
    while ((len = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        byteBuffer.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    return byteBuffer.toByteArray();
}

private String getFilename(Context context) {
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(""), "patient_data");
    // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
    if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
        mediaStorageDir.mkdirs();
    }

    String mImageName = "IMG_" + String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".png";
    return mediaStorageDir.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + mImageName;

}

Use this methods instead..

public String getImagePathFromUri(Uri contentUri) {
            String res = null;
            String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
                res = cursor.getString(column_index);
            }
            cursor.close();
            return res;
        }
