I would like to upload file to server. So I use a file chooser. But I have a problem with some application to get the real path from uri. the case if the content is a v ideo, audio or image or if I can get the path directly i have no problem. the methode imlemented are :
public String getRealAudioPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA };
//This method was deprecated in API level 11
//Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
this,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
and it is the some for image and video. but my problem is when content is in this forme:
content://com.dataviz.dxtg.documentprovider/document/file%3A%2F%2F%2Fmnt%2Fsdcard%2FDownload%2Arbres.png
I tried the method
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
So how to get the real path from URi and if there is an other content type .
to get my real path is given below:
//Uri return from external activity
orgUri = data.getData();
text1.setText("fichier à envoyer " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");
// imagepath = orgUri.toString() ;
//path converted from Uri
//convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
if(orgUri.toString().contains(IMAGEMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);
} else if(orgUri.toString().contains(AUDIOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealAudioPathFromURI(orgUri);
}
else if(orgUri.toString().contains(VIDEOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealvideoPathFromURI(orgUri);
}else {
if(orgUri.toString().contains("content")){
convertedPath = getFilePathFromContentUri(orgUri,
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver());
} else {
convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
}
}
try this one
Uri selectedFile = data.getData();
String path = selectedFile.getPath();
it works for me. if it is not than let me inform i have another way too
