Afternoon everyone,

I have an app that we can use our company logo on, and to display it, the app asks for the Image URI path. I have the image saved locally on our Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 within Internal Storage\Pictures. I have tried the following to no avail:

file:///mnt/internal_sd/Pictures/Picture.jpg (and all other variations)
\Internal Storage\ Pictures\Picture.jpg (and all other variations)

What is the correct file path to this location please? I'm sure I'm being a numpty, but I can't figure out the correct path.

Cheers,

Reply

Hi James. Thanks, but that's not worked. The app works correctly, as I can display a test logo stored online. This has been supplied by the manufacturer, so we can't upload our logo to this location.

After several days studying, I made an app in my spare time in order to study uri and its real path.
I found that in fact, an uri is more complex than what we thought.

A screenshot of my studying app, just for your reference.
On my mobile phone, I selected the image file from 'Files - Internal storage - Pictures'.
