Well, You get the content Uri, query the MediaStore content provider with this Uri, and you will get the absolute path to the image from the column called "data". Do whatever you want with this.
But, this doesn't seem to work on all platform releases, especially, the behaviour is different on devices lower than and 1.6 and later. The Android bug tracker has a long running bug regarding this. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1480 If you are tagetting devices with 1.6 or before, you probably have to find something else. -Kumar Bibek http://techdroid.kbeanie.com On Sep 15, 2:46 am, Frank Weiss <fewe...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, the secret sauce was to use the ContentResolver.
