I have discovered how to get an InputStream object from a Uri pointing to an image stored on the SD card!!! Since the method to do this was not straight forward to me, I would like to share it so that others may not suffer like I did.
A ContentResolver is the thing needed, but it is an abstract class. The "trick" it would seem, is to call getContentResolver() from your activity or service like this: Uri imgUri = "content://media/external/images/media/92"; InputStream in = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imgUri); I hope that helps someone. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
