[android-developers] Re: Gallery Intent to pick image --- Picasa-based images are invalid (Android 4.0+)

[Mark Andrachek, Jr.]

That workaround doesn't work for me.

 When I try getContentResolver().getInputStream(imageUri) on the
picasa URI's, I get (the picasa item id has been removed, FYI):

01-26 13:37:11.660: E/com.getpicture.MainActivity(9007):
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider:
content://com.android.gallery3d.provider/picasa/item/

01-26 13:37:11.660: E/com.getpicture.MainActivity(9007):at
android.content.ContentResolver.openInputStream(ContentResolver.java:
371)

I've also tried:
ContentProviderClient client =
getContentResolver().acquireContentProviderClient(imageUri);
Log.e(this.getClass().getName(),client.getType(imageUri));

This gives a NPE, with an error message with a tag of
ActivityThread,
01-26 13:59:39.860: E/ActivityThread(10127): Failed to find provider
info for com.android.gallery3d.provider

   Hello,

   I'm trying to launch a Gallery Intent to allow the user to select an

   on 4.x (I haven't tested 3.x). I've narrowed it down to issues
   specific toPicasa-sourced images. For example, from my google+ posts
   (still in the Gallery app).

   The problematic URI is content://
   com.google.android.gallery3d.provider/picasa/item/some ID.
   Attempting to retrieve the image local path gives me the error : W/

   My code is below:

   Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
   photoPickerIntent.setType(image/*);
   startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, PROFILE_PIC_RESULT);

   and then in onActivityResult(int requestcode, int resultcode, Intent

Re: [android-developers] Selecting picasa photos in gallery

[Mark Andrachek, Jr.]

I'm running into something very similar trying to get thumbnails.
I use this to get select the image from the gallery:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(image/*);
intent.putExtra(return-data, true);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,Complete action 
using),PICK_FROM_GALLERY);

Then in the result:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK)
  return;

   Uri contentUri = Uri.parse(data.getDataString());
   ListString parts = contentUri.getPathSegments();
   long id = Long.parseLong(parts.get(parts.size() - 1));
   Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(
  getActivity().getContentResolver(), 
  id, 
  MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND, 
  null
   );

}

If I log data.getDataString(), I get: 
content://com.android.gallery3d.provider/picasa/item/SOMEBIGNUMBER

And I get an exception thrown:
E/MiniThumbFile(26253): Got exception when reading magic, id = 
SOMEBIGNUMBER, disk full or mount read-only? class 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Local images work fine, and have a different url:
content://media/external/images/media/115

I'm guessing SOMEBIGNUMBER is the PICASA_ID. How to get the thumbnail and/or 
image out of that, without falling back to accessing the picasa api's and 
having to have access to user account info... I wish I knew.
