title: Getting path of captured image in Android using camera intent
body: <p>I have been trying to get path of captured image in order to delete image. Found many answers on StackOverflow but none of them are working for me. I got the following answer:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>private String getLastImagePath() {
      final String[] imageColumns = { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID,
              MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
      final String imageOrderBy = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " DESC";
      Cursor imageCursor = POS.this.getContentResolver().query(
              MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, imageColumns,
              null, null, imageOrderBy);
      if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) {
          // int id = imageCursor.getInt(imageCursor
          // .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID));
          String fullPath = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor
                  .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
          return fullPath;
      } else {
          return "";
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code works in Samsung tab but doesn't work in Lenovo tab and i-ball tab.
  So, can anyone help me find another solution to do the same? 
  Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>This is my onActivityResult:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>if (requestCode == CmsInter.CAMERA_REQUEST &amp;&amp; resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
      //Bitmap photo = null;
      //photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
  
      String txt = "";
      if (im != null) {
          String result = "";
          //im.setImageBitmap(photo);
          im.setTag("2");
          int index = im.getId();
          String path = getLastImagePath();
          try {
              bitmap1 = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
              bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap1, 512, 400, false);
              ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
              byte[] bytData = baos.toByteArray();
              try {
                  baos.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }
              result = Base64.encode(bytData);
              bytData = null;
          } catch (OutOfMemoryError ooM) {
              System.out.println("OutOfMemory Exception-----&gt;" + ooM);
              bitmap1.recycle();
              bitmap.recycle();
          } finally {
              bitmap1.recycle();
              bitmap.recycle();
          }
      }
  }
