java.io.FileNotFoundException in android

Question

I'm selecting a image from gallery using code

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.gallery);

    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    startActivityForResult(i, SELECT_PICTURE);
}

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    switch (requestCode) {
    case SELECT_PICTURE:
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
            try {
                bitmap = decodeUri(selectedImage);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            MyApplicationGlobal.bitmap = bitmap;
            MyApplicationGlobal.imageUri = selectedImage.toString();
            Log.v("selectedImage", "selectedImage: " + selectedImage.getPath());

            Intent intentUpload = new Intent(GalleryActivity.this, UploadActivity.class);
            startActivity(intentUpload);
            finish();
        }
    }

then I try to upload that image by calling web service

MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
    try {
        reqEntity.addPart("email", new StringBody(email));
        Log.v("in uploadImageUsingMultiPart", "imagePath: " + MyApplicationGlobal.imageUri);
        reqEntity.addPart("name", new FileBody(new File(MyApplicationGlobal.imageUri)));
        reqEntity.addPart("img_desc", new StringBody(img_desc));
        reqEntity.addPart("amount", new StringBody(amount));
        reqEntity.addPart("request_type", new StringBody("INSERT"));
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

But I'm getting error java.io.FileNotFoundException

Log cat is

have you set the permission for allow external storage write/read? "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /content:/media/external/images/media/526 (No such file or directory)" you can't read it — user529543

@matheszabi I have added this line <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> in manifest. Is it enough? — Shirish Herwade

Just an update since managedQuery has been deprecated.

private String getPath(Uri uri) {
    String[]  data = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(context, uri, data, null, null, null);
    Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground();
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

Call this method, pass it the selectedUri, in return you will get the path that you want

public String getPath(Uri uri) {
    String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

I get en exception: storage/emulated/0/Pictures/PicCollage/Photo 2013-12-13 14_33_55.jpg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

@IgorGanapolsky Have you requested android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in your manifest? If you are on API level 23 and above, you also need to implement Run Time Permissions.

that's because content:/media/external/images/media/526 is not a file. It's an URI address of the media provider. If you want the file check this SO question:

Get filename and path from URI from mediastore
