Well I originally was going to take the image, scale it down, and store it in the assets so that the app always had a copy regardless of what happened to the original. But that isnt so important as just being able to get them into my adapter. The documentation for setImageView says that it will accept URIs for the simpleCursorAdapter. So really all i need is to grab the URI of the image the user selects and store it into the database and it should be fine. *crosses fingers*
