Hi, The problem is that it should be documented in the Android Reference, here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Images.html http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.html But, as far as i understand, it's not complete. Fortunately, we can check it in a different way. <android code> Uri u = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; //sdcard only Cursor c = managedQuery(u, null, null, null, null); if (c.moveToFirst()) { do { int max = c.getColumnCount(); for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) { String colName = c.getColumnName(i); String value = c .getString(c.getColumnIndex(colName)); if (colName != null){ Log.d("columnName: ", colName); } if (value != null) { Log.d("value", value); } } } while (c.moveToNext()); } </android code> Check LogCat and you'll notice that we have all column names with their values. I suppose, you'd be interested in: 07-22 12:50:09.973: DEBUG/columnName:(3049): _data 07-22 12:50:09.973: DEBUG/value(3049): /sdcard/download/vienna-s- schonbrunn-zoo-and-giant-ferris-wheel-in-vienna-1.jpg (...) 07-22 12:50:09.983: DEBUG/columnName:(3049): _display_name 07-22 12:50:09.983: DEBUG/value(3049): vienna-s-schonbrunn-zoo-and- giant-ferris-wheel-in-vienna-1.jpg If you have got any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
