Storage Access Framework - failing to obtain document tree from uri (returned from Drive app)

My Android app wants to create a folder in Google Drive and get the uri from the Drive app on the device.
It sends an intent, you can see the code below:
private void createFolder(String folderName) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
// Create a file with the requested MIME type.
intent.setType("vnd.android.document/directory");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, folderName);
startActivityForResult(intent, WRITE_REQUEST_CODE);
}
then it gets the returned data, you can see the code below:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent resultData)
{
if (requestCode == WRITE_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri uri = null;
if (resultData != null) {
uri = resultData.getData();
Log.i("result", "Uri: " + uri.toString());
DocumentFile pickedDir = DocumentFile.fromTreeUri(this, uri); //this line gives the error
}
}
}
I used a mimetype found on the internet that seems to be a standard type. The same error is issued when using "application/vnd.google-apps.folder".
The goal is to have a document tree but in logcat I get the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=43, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc=1;doc=encoded=LongStringWithRandomCharactersHere/j flg=0x43 }} to activity {com.example.myapplication/com.example.myapplication.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URI: content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D1%3Bdoc%3Dencoded%3DSameLongStringWithRandomCharactersHere%2Fj

The uri is not wrong because I can further extract the name of the folder (and the size=0), that is successfully created on the Drive cloud.
What's wrong instead? It seems that my app cannot handle it as a document tree.

This is working with Google Drive cloud space but maybe it's a hack. It is not guaranteed to always work.
This example creates a cloud file in a cloud folder that was created by the user (the SAF picker is opened by the app).
Creating the cloud folder (the user has to select the cloud root first from the picker UI)

data null onActivityResult

Activity results is NullPointerException, What I have done wrong or missed?
Photo gallery application(Eventually), followed the instructions on the android developer site about taking photos with inbuilt camera. onActivityResult giving null pointer. I am new to android so can't figure it out.
Because of this it crashes, i expect it to show a bitmap in the activity.
public class aCamera extends AppCompatActivity {
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
static final int REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO = 1;
ImageView imageView;
String currentPhotoPath;
#Override

// Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {

try {

Log.i("DTPI-1", "dispatchTakePictureIntent: The IF AND TRY");
} catch (IOException ex) {

}

if (photoFile != null) {
Log.i("photoURI", "dispatchTakePictureIntent: PHOTO FILE NOT EMPTY");
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"com.example.android.fileprovider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
//setResult(RESULT_OK, takePictureIntent);
}
}
}

// Create an image file name
Log.i("CIF -1", "createImageFile: Create FILE");
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(
imageFileName, /* prefix */
".jpg", /* suffix */
storageDir /* directory */
);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
currentPhotoPath = image.getAbsolutePath();
return image;
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
Log.i("Result", "onActivityResult: WE GET HERE");
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
imageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
}
}

The camera saves the image to the photoUri that you supply in your Intent. In onActivityResult you have to get the Bitmap from that file.

The line putExtra is the issue. Delete that line and receive bitmap in
onActivityResult like mentioned below.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultcode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO && resultcode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri uri = intent.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), uri);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
Hope this works. You will see the explaination here on a post with similar issue.

As mentioned by #aalap patel, the issue is not with onActivityResult, it is with one line in dispatchTakePictureIntent method.
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
adding to this is the code that he also mentions.

‘Failure delivering result ResultInfo’ once then works normally after crash [duplicate]

Closed 5 years ago.
I had to update my app to work along with the new android versions, targeting the N version, I Updated:
from:
Uri.fromFile();
to:
FileProvider.getUriForFile();
I did this as follows:
Based on: ( android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/test.txt exposed beyond app through Intent.getData() )

Make sure that you are saving outputFileName in your saved instance state Bundle. Your process may be terminated while your app is in the background, which would cause that field to become null by default in your new process.

After calling startActivityForResult() subsequent code still runs

So basically I want the app to: after pressing a button opens the gallery, the user selects one image and after that saves the uri in a variable. That's all it needs to do but what I found is that after calling startActivityForResult() subsequent code still runs in the background creating a NullPointerException error, since the variable I wanted has not yet been retrieved from the intent.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
final static int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
private String imageUriStr;
SharedPreferences prefs;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences",MODE_PRIVATE);
ImageView addImgButton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.add_img_button);
addImgButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
if (prefs.contains(imageUriStr)) {
imageUriStr = prefs.getString("imageUriStr", ""); //Get the data from prefs
}
Log.d("Value",imageUriStr); //verify if it is correct
prefs.edit().clear();
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {
imageUriStr = data.getData().toString(); //convert to string to use it with SharedPreferences
prefs.edit().putString("imageUriStr",imageUriStr).apply();
}
}
}
One solution would be to do everything inside the onActivityresult, but I also want to later user another intent to crop the image based on that uri, but I think an Intent inside an onActivityresult will be too messy or is it acceptable? I guess I'm missing something.
Keeping with my code will generate this

Your private String imageUriStr; is null.Since it is null you are getting null pointer exception. Assign it with the empty string like : private String imageUriStr = "";.
AND
Check in shared preference like :
if(prefs.contains("imageUriStr"))

Your Code is crashing on this line:
Log.d("Value",imageUriStr);
Reason: imageUriStr value is null and a valid message is required to print the log
You can either use Log as :
Log.d("Value","Image URI Value: "+imageUriStr);
or you can put your Log inside if block like:
if (prefs.contains(imageUriStr)) {
imageUriStr = prefs.getString("imageUriStr", "");//Get the data from prefs
Log.d("Value",imageUriStr); //verify if it is correct
}

BitmapFactory: Unable to decode stream: java.io.FileNotFoundException even when file IS actually there

I'm creating a simple app to take a picture. this is my code

try {
// place where to store camera taken picture
photo = createTemporaryFile("picture", ".jpg");
photo.delete();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.v(TAG, "Can't create file to take picture!");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please check SD card! Image shot is impossible!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
mImageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mImageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Log.d(TAG, mImageUri.toString());
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mImageUri.toString());
iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
as you can see i've added eLog.d(TAG, mImageUri.toString()); at the end and in the logcat (as well as the FileNotFoundException) i see this direcory:
03-27 00:43:30.498 30526-30526/myapplication.example.falcoleo.cameratest1 D/MAIN ACTIVITY: file:///storage/emulated/0/cameratest/picture459838058.jpg

guess if this directory exists?
spoler alert, it does. And it's not like the image is created after the BitmapFactory.decodeFile. I really do not understand what i'm doing wrong. Everything works fine except when it actually has to display the photo, then it just does not display it. just blank. Like WTF m8 i'm just trying to do my job no need to go crazy, you know.

Replace mImageUri.toString() with mImageUri.getPath().
decodeFile expects a path, not an uri string.

file:///storage/emulated/0/cameratest/picture459838058.jpg
Remove file:// because the decodeFile() expects a file system path.
/storage/emulated/0/cameratest/picture459838058.jpg

Use BitmapFactory.decodeStream instead of BitmapFactory.decodeFile.
try ( InputStream is = new URL( file_url ).openStream() ) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream( is );
}
Source https://stackoverflow.com/a/28395036/5714364

Ok for me it was the file path was wrong so I needed to get the real filepath.
First
File file = new File(getPath(uri));
public String getPath (Uri uri)
{
String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri,
projection,
null,
null,
null);
if (cursor == null)
return null;
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String s = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
return s;
}
Then Back To Uri
Uri newUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
This conversion to file and back to uri did the trick for me. I was receiving simple data from action.SEND.
