select multiple images from gallery in KOTLIN (want image path)
Hey I m also suffering with same issue nd got the solution. just follow my code.
private var context: Context? = null
var PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE = 1
lateinit var imagePath: String
var imagesPathList: MutableList<String> = arrayListOf()
call gallery intent first
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
var intent = Intent()
intent.type = "image/*"
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true)
intent.action = Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture")
, PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE
)
} else {
var intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
intent.type = "image/*"
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE);
}
now check onActivityResult
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
// When an Image is picked
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK
&& null != data
) {
if (data.getClipData() != null) {
var count = data.clipData.itemCount
for (i in 0..count - 1) {
var imageUri: Uri = data.clipData.getItemAt(i).uri
getPathFromURI(imageUri)
}
} else if (data.getData() != null) {
var imagePath: String = data.data.path
Log.e("imagePath", imagePath);
}
displayImageData()
}
}
private fun getPathFromURI(uri: Uri) {
var path: String = uri.path // uri = any content Uri
val databaseUri: Uri
val selection: String?
val selectionArgs: Array<String>?
if (path.contains("/document/image:")) { // files selected from "Documents"
databaseUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
selection = "_id=?"
selectionArgs = arrayOf(DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri).split(":")[1])
} else { // files selected from all other sources, especially on Samsung devices
databaseUri = uri
selection = null
selectionArgs = null
}
try {
val projection = arrayOf(
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID,
MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION,
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN
) // some example data you can query
val cursor = contentResolver.query(
databaseUri,
projection, selection, selectionArgs, null
)
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0])
imagePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex)
// Log.e("path", imagePath);
imagesPathList.add(imagePath)
}
cursor.close()
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.e(TAG, e.message, e)
}
}
