Question

I am trying to make a browse button, for the user to select an image. I use the following code:

void BrowseButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.SetType("image/*");
    intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionGetContent);
    StartActivityForResult(Intent.CreateChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 1);
}

protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode, Android.Content.Intent data)
{
    base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (resultCode == Result.Ok && requestCode == 1)
    {
        ImageView imageView = FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.MainimageView);
        Android.Net.Uri selectedImageUri = data.Data;
        var bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.GetBitmap(ContentResolver, data.Data);
        SherarClass.Uri = getRealPathFromURI(data.Data);
        BitmapDrawable dd = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);
        imageView.SetImageDrawable(dd);
        bitmap.Dispose();
    }
}

It works the first and the second time after that it throws an Java.Long.Error exception.

void BrowseButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.SetType("image/*");
   intent.SetAction(Intent.ActionGetContent);
   StartActivityForResult(Intent.CreateChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 1);
 }


protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, Result resultCode,     Android.Content.Intent data)
{
  base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if (resultCode == Result.Ok && requestCode == 1)
{
   ImageView imageView = FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.MainimageView);
   Android.Net.Uri selectedImageUri = data.Data;
   BitmapFactory.Options op = new BitmapFactory.Options();
   op.InSampleSize = 2;
   SherarClass.Uri = getRealPathFromURI(data.Data);
   using (Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.DecodeFile(SherarClass.Uri, op))
   {
       imageView.SetImageBitmap(bitmap);
       GC.Collect();
   }
}

}

    public String getRealPathFromURI(Android.Net.Uri contentUri)
    {
        String[] projection = new String[] {Android.Provider.MediaStore.MediaColumnsConsts.Data };
        ContentResolver cr = this.ContentResolver;
        Android.Database.ICursor cursor = cr.Query(contentUri, projection,null, null, null);
        if (cursor != null && cursor.Count > 0)
        {
            cursor.MoveToFirst();
            int index =cursor.GetColumnIndex(Android.Provider.MediaStore.MediaColumnsConsts.Data);
            return cursor.GetString(index);
        }
        return null;
    }
