Yashwanth is right, the path may be different between device and emulator, further, the path may different device to device as well. You'd be better off getting a content URI for the image you want and using MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail() to get the bitmap you're looking for.

MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails

I think sd card path on real device is different. you might have to use something like

Environment.getExternalStorageState()

check the following link.
