So my problem is that I want to get file path from content uri, I had googled but I didn't get any of the solutions, please help me out of this problem.
here is my code what I have tried
Intent getPdf = getIntent();
String action = getPdf.getAction();
String type = getPdf.getType();
Log.d("sdsfgsdfsdf",""+type);
if (Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(action) ||Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(action) || type != null){
if (type.startsWith("application/pdf")){
viewPdf(getPdf,action);
}
}
private void viewPdf(Intent getPdf, String action) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(getPdf.getData().toString());
if (uri != null) {
File file = new File(String.valueOf(uri.getPath()));
name = file.getName();
path = String.valueOf(uri);
Log.d("sdsfgsdfsdf",""+name);
}else {
// Toast.makeText(this, ""+ uri.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
This is the output content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3AWhatsApp%2FMedia%2FWhatsApp%20Documents%2FAJAX_And_PHP_Building_Responsive_Web_Applications-(2006).pdf
but I want to get file:// path instead of content uri
You can use PickiT library for get path from URI.
Sample code for how to use it.
PickiT pickiT = new PickiT(this, new PickiTCallbacks() {
@Override
public void PickiTonUriReturned() {
}
@Override
public void PickiTonStartListener() {
}
@Override
public void PickiTonProgressUpdate(int progress) {
}
@Override
public void PickiTonCompleteListener(String filePath, boolean wasDriveFile, boolean wasUnknownProvider, boolean wasSuccessful, String Reason) {
if (wasSuccessful) {
// Use file path
}
}
@Override
public void PickiTonMultipleCompleteListener(ArrayList<String> paths, boolean wasSuccessful, String Reason) {
}
}, this);
pickiT.getPath(uri, Build.VERSION.SDK_INT);
