         selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri); 
     } 
 } 
} 

public String getPath(Uri uri) { 
 String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA }; 
 Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null); 
 int column_index = cursor

Import form device by button click

Intent sdintent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
sdintent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(sdintent, SD_REQUEST);

Get image form sd card

if (requestCode == SD_REQUEST) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();

int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();

Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
        
testimage.setImageBitmap(yourSelectedImage);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
yourSelectedImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
}

Save Image

DatabaseAdapter dbHelper = new DatabaseAdapter(Profiles.this);
   
       dbHelper.open();
       dbHelper.createUserProfiles( byteArray);
       dbHelper.close();

NOw in DatabaseAdapter.java

Define

  public static final String U_PIC = "picture";

Then

private long createUserTableContentValues(long id,byte[] byteImage) {
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(ID, id);
        values.put(U_PIC, byteImage);
return database.insert(IMAGE_INSERT, null, values);
}

I think this might be help you…..
