Trouble extracting path from Uri in Android app

I'm using some code from a helpful stack exchange user to browse and select files on my Android. However, when selecting a file from a subfolder in Download, I get an error. Is there a way to extract the path from the Uri in the form: /storage/emulated/0/Download/subfolder/filename.gpx?
In the "Downloads Provider" section below, why is the /Download/ part hard coded?
When I select the file Download/subfolder/filename.gpx, getPath returns Download/filename.gpx resulting in an IOException, no file found.
Here's the line I have an issue with:
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Download/" + fileName;

How to add captured images from camera or gallery in pdf report?

I am developing a feature where the user can create a report of the work order performed. With this report you will get information of the order itself, such as customer name, service, location, etc ... as well as the captured images of the service. I already managed to generate the report with the data I want, including formatting. However I have difficulty attaching the acquired images from the camera or gallery in this same report. Already researched numerous times and the attempts I make does not appear the image in the report.
Get imagem from camera
private val pathImage: ArrayList<String> = arrayListOf<String>()
override fun onActivityResult(
requestCode: Int,
resultCode: Int,
data: Intent?
) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == CAM && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
val novaIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, uri)
sendBroadcast(novaIntent)
imageCam = uri.getPath().toString()
if (imageCam != null) {
Log.i("TAG", "Camera: " + imageCam)
pathImage.add(imageCam)
}
} else if (requestCode == GALLERY && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
val clipData = data.clipData
if (clipData != null) {
for (i in 0 until clipData.itemCount) {
val uri: Uri = clipData.getItemAt(i).uri
pathImage.add(uri.path.toString())
}
} else {
val uri = data.data
if (uri != null) {
pathImage.add(uri.path.toString())
}
}
}
}

You have done mistake while getting path from uri in onActivityResult method on this line pathImage.add(uri.path.toString()).
You can try following method to get Path from URI:
public static String getPathFromUri(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
// DocumentProvider
if (DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
// ExternalStorageProvider
if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
}
// TODO handle non-primary volumes
}
// DownloadsProvider
else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {
final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null);
}
// MediaProvider
else if (isMediaDocument(uri)) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("video".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("audio".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{
split[1]
};
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
}
}
// MediaStore (and general)
else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
// Return the remote address
if (isGooglePhotosUri(uri))
return uri.getLastPathSegment();
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}
Here is the full gist that will help you.
Thank you.

FileNotFoundException when importing file from storage (Android Studio)

For the past couple of days, I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Whenever the user uploads a file (non-image), and I try to convert the URI object into a file and then into a byte array, I get this error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /document/2301 (No such file or directory)
I had obviously uploaded something because it was showing me some sort of path. Here is my code:

Use the below code to browse the file in any format.
public void browseClick() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
//intent.putExtra("browseCoa", itemToBrowse);
//Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a File to Upload");
try {
//startActivityForResult(chooser, FILE_SELECT_CODE);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a File to Upload"),FILE_SELECT_CODE);
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("browseClick :"+ex);//android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex
}
}
Then get that file path in the onActivityResult like below.
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == FILE_SELECT_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
Uri uri = data.getData();
if (filesize >= FILE_SIZE_LIMIT) {
Toast.makeText(this,"The selected file is too large. Selet a new file with size less than 2mb",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
String mimeType = getContentResolver().getType(uri);
if (mimeType == null) {
String path = getPath(this, uri);
if (path == null) {
filename = FilenameUtils.getName(uri.toString());
} else {
File file = new File(path);
filename = file.getName();
}
} else {
Uri returnUri = data.getData();
Cursor returnCursor = getContentResolver().query(returnUri, null, null, null, null);
int nameIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
int sizeIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.SIZE);
returnCursor.moveToFirst();
filename = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex);
String size = Long.toString(returnCursor.getLong(sizeIndex));
}
File fileSave = getExternalFilesDir(null);
String sourcePath = getExternalFilesDir(null).toString();
try {
copyFileStream(new File(sourcePath + "/" + filename), uri,this);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
private void copyFileStream(File dest, Uri uri, Context context)
throws IOException {
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
try {
is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
os = new FileOutputStream(dest);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = is.read(buffer)) > 0) {
os.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
is.close();
os.close();
}
}
After this you can open this file from your application external storage where you saved the file with appropriate action.
Courtesy: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36129285/6050536

try {

Creating a file from picking an image from MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

I'm allowing the user to pick an image from their photo gallery:
Intent pickIntent = new Intent();
pickIntent.setType("image/*");
pickIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
Intent takePhotoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
String pickTitle = "Select or take a new Picture"; // Or get from strings.xml
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(pickIntent, pickTitle);
chooserIntent.putExtra
(
Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
new Intent[] { takePhotoIntent }
);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, SELECT_PICTURE);
And in onActivityResult I want to create a new File from the selected image. Here is what I am doing:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
return;
}
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
File mediaFile = new File(selectedImageUri.getPath());
if(!mediaFile.exists())
Log.d("File", "File doesn't exist");
}
}
My check mediaFile.exists() is returning false. What am I doing wrong here?
Update
I tried doing this as well:
String fullPath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);
with this method from enter link description here question:
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
return null;
}
However, this method returns null.

Add this class to your project.
public class RealPathUtil {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri){
String filePath = "";
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String result = null;
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
context,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if(cursor != null){
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
result = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return result;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
and get image path from uri using relative method of android api.
EDIT :: Check SDK Version of your phone
And get path using
int version = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
String fullPath;
if(version >= 19) {
//call api 19 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_API19(this, uri);
} else if(version <= 18 && version >= 11) {
// call api 11-18 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(this, uri);
} else {
// call below api 11 code here
fullPath = getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(this, uri);
}
File mediaFile = new File(fullPath);
