How Retrieve Image From Gallery?

I am trying to retrieve an image from gallery in Android but unfortunately it failed with permission. this is my code: public void loadImagefromGallery(View view) { // Create i

Solution 1:

I'd suggest you drop the storage permission requests and use ACTION_GET_CONTENT.

The usage would be some like this:

Intentintent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setType("image/*");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select image"));

This way is super awesome because your app doesn't any storage permission at all. Only if you target API < 18 you'll need to request the permission. In such case, you can use maxSdkVersion=18 in your manifest to request the permission only when there is no other way.

Solution 2:

whole AndroidManifest.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifestxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"package="com.example.melas.app_3" ><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /><applicationandroid:name=".StartApps"android:allowBackup="true"android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"android:label="@string/app_name"android:supportsRtl="true"android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar" ><meta-dataandroid:name="com.parse.APPLICATION_ID"android:value="" /><meta-dataandroid:name="com.parse.CLIENT_KEY"android:value="" /><activityandroid:name=".MainActivity"android:label="@string/app_name"><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /></intent-filter></activity><activityandroid:name=".Register" ></activity><activityandroid:name=".Register2" ></activity><activityandroid:name=".LoginActivity" ></activity></application>

Solution 3:

It works but I try to retrieve filename to put on parse....

publicvoidloadImagefromGallery(View view) {
     IntentgalleryIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
            android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    // Start the Intent
    startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMG);


}
 @OverrideprotectedvoidonActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 
txttest = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textViewtest);
        ImageView ig=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageViewTest);


      try {
            // When an Image is pickedif (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMG && resultCode == RESULT_OK
                    && null != data) {
                // Get the Image from dataUriselectedImage= data.getData();
                String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

                // Get the cursorCursorcursor= getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                        filePathColumn, null, null, null);
                // Move to first row
                cursor.moveToFirst();

                intcolumnIndex= cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);

                Bitmapbitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImage.toString());
                ByteArrayOutputStreamstream=newByteArrayOutputStream();
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
                byte[] image = stream.toByteArray();
                Glide.with(this)
                        .load(selectedImage)
                        .into(ig);

                Toast.makeText(this, "Image picked" +
                               selectedImage,
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

//txttest.setText();
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "You haven't picked Image",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Something went wrong", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .show();
                Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
            }


    }
