How to get the Uri of a image stored on the SDCARD?

I need to get the URI of a image stored on the SDCARD.

When i want to get the Uri of a image stored on drawable, i use this and it works perfect:

i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.drawable.image));

But if i want to get the URI of a image stored on the SDCARD, i tryed with this, and it doesn't works, something is wrong:

i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("/mnt/sdcard/car.jpg"));

Please, can someone tell me how to get the correct uri of a image stored on the sdcard?

Thanks

Always use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() instead of hard coding the path of external storage directory. Because the path of external storage directory may be different in different API Levels.

Try this:

String fileName = "YourImage.png";
String completePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + fileName;

File file = new File(completePath); 
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);

String filename = "image.png";
String path = "/mnt/sdcard/" + filename;
 File f = new File(path);  //  
            Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
