Wow... It's so simple, but still got an error... I got this:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(datatoget, null, null,
null, null);
String fname = cursor.getString(ImageColumns.DATA);
It won't let me run the code... "getString" is underlined in red and
it just wants me to change it to "getLong" but if I do that, it just
tells me to change it back to "getString" again... Am I doing
something wrong here, or am I that bad at coding Android?
