Getting path of captured image in Android using camera intent

Question

I have been trying to get path of captured image in order to delete image. Found many answers on StackOverflow but none of them are working for me. I got the following answer: ``` private String getLastImagePath() { final String[] imageColumns = { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA }; final String imageOrderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " DESC"; Cursor imageCursor = POS.this.getContentResolver().query( MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, imageColumns, null, null, imageOrderBy); if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) { // int id = imageCursor.getInt(imageCursor // .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID)); String fullPath = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)); return fullPath; } else { return ""; } } ``` This code works in Samsung tab but doesn't work in Lenovo tab and i-ball tab. So, can anyone help me find another solution to do the same? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. This is my onActivityResult…

Accepted Answer

Try like this

Pass Camera Intent like below

```
    Intent intent = new Intent(this);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQ_CAMERA_IMAGE);
```

And after capturing image Write an `OnActivityResult`, as exhibited by the following code copied from the Stack Overflow answer Get file path of image on Android —

````
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
        if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data"); 
            imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
            knop.setVisibility(Button.VISIBLE);

// CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE URI FROM THE BITMAP
            Uri tempUri = getImageUri(getApplicationContext(), photo);
    
            // CALL THIS METHOD TO GET THE ACTUAL PATH
            File finalFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(tempUri));
    
            System.out.println(mImageCaptureUri);
        }  
    }
    
    public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
        String path = Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage,
"Title", null);
        return Uri.parse(path);
    }
    
    public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
        String path = "";
        if (getContentResolver() != null) {
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
            if (cursor != null) {
                cursor.moveToFirst();
                int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
                path = cursor.getString(idx);
                cursor.close();
            }
        }
        return path;
    } ```
````

And check log.

Edit:

Lots of people are asking how to not get a thumbnail. You need to add this code instead for the `getImageUri` method:

```
    public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {
        Bitmap OutImage = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(inImage, 1000, 1000,true);
        String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), OutImage, "Title", null);
        return Uri.parse(path);
    }
```

The other method Compresses the file. You can adjust the size by changing the number `1000,1000`
