Picking image from gallery on Nexus 5 (Android 5.1.1) returning null, working on other devices -

i have app has function allows user pick image gallery. here code doing that:

@onclick(r.id.imageview_fragmentuploadlayout_uploadedart) public void setuploadedartimageview () {     //startactivityforresult(new intent(intent.action_pick, mediastore.images.media.internal_content_uri), get_from_gallery);     intent intent = new intent(); // show images, no videos or else     intent.settype("image/*");     intent.setaction(intent.action_get_content); // show chooser (if there multiple options available)     startactivityforresult(intent.createchooser(intent, "select picture"), get_from_gallery);  } 

and onactivityresult method:

public void onactivityresult(int requestcode, int resultcode, intent data) {     super.onactivityresult(requestcode, resultcode, data);      //detects request codes     if(requestcode == get_from_gallery && resultcode == activity.result_ok && data != null) {         selectedimageuri = data.getdata();         selectedimagepath = getpath(selectedimageuri);          file = new file(selectedimagepath);          //parsefile parseimage = new parsefile();          picasso.with(getactivity())                 .load(selectedimageuri.tostring())                 .resize(500, 500)                 .centercrop()                 .noplaceholder()                 .into(uploadedartimageview);          uploadedartimageviewplaceholder.setvisibility(view.gone);          imageresizer.resize(file, 640, 480, resizemode.fit_exact);     } } 

getpath method:

public string getpath(uri uri) {     // safety built in     if( uri == null ) {         // todo perform logging or show user feedback         return null;     }     // try retrieve image media store first     // work images selected gallery     string[] projection = { mediastore.images.media.data };     cursor cursor = getactivity().managedquery(uri, projection, null, null, null);     if( cursor != null ){         int column_index = cursor                 .getcolumnindexorthrow(mediastore.images.media.data);         cursor.movetofirst();         return cursor.getstring(column_index);     }     // our fallback here     return uri.getpath(); } 

if test on samsung s2 works, (currently on cyanogen mod, android 4.0.4), if test on nexus 5 (android 5.1.1) return null pointer exception.

note

i have tried different apps: thought getting picture gallery google photos might have cause problem, installed on s2 , works.

here stacktrace:

can me problem?

thanks in advance, cheers!

a uri not file. cannot reliably local path user picks via action_get_content. need treat uri url web server, open streams on uri, whether directly (getcontentresolver().openinputstream()) or indirectly (via picasso).

i not know imageresizer is, if works files, stop using it. delete getpath() method , work solely uri.
