This works as designed.
The getDataString() is the string of the content Uri that refers to
the image.
If you want the physical filename, do a 'Cursor cursor =
getContentResolver().query(intent.getData(), null, null, null, null)'
and query the column ImageColumns.DATA on the returned cursor.
The cursor.getString(ImageColumns.DATA) will return the physical file-
path on your SC-card.
