MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(contentResolver ,file.getAbsolutePath(),
    file.getName(), );

Answer 1

I struggled with this as well. To get the actual image data location using the images resource URI:

        String dataColumnName = MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA;
        Uri mediaUri = //Image's URI;


    if (mediaUri != null)
    {
        String[] proj = { dataColumnName };
        Cursor actualimagecursor = managedQuery(mediaUri, proj, null, null, null);
        int actual_image_column_index = actualimagecursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(dataColumnName);
        boolean hasValues = actualimagecursor.moveToFirst();

        if (hasValues)
        {
            //this is the file location of the image
            String path = actualimagecursor.getString(actual_image_column_index);
        }
    }
