I need to get file's path to convert it into input stream for uploading purose. So I choose pdf document using file chooser.I get Uri in onActivityResult().Using uri , I am getting file's path.But it does not return correct path. The absolute path:
when choosing file from internal storage /document/primary:pdf/HA License Plate.pdf when choosing file from external storage /document/9016-4EF8:certificates/img002.pdf So I could not get correct file path , to convert into inputstream. So please suggest me to get correct file path in my android application? The code I am using is as follows.
Code Is:-
public void ChoosePDF(View v) { Intent intent = new Intent(); // intent.setType("pdf/*"); intent.setType("application/pdf"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Pdf"), REQUEST_CODE); } public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent result) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) { Uri data = result.getData(); if (data.getLastPathSegment().endsWith("pdf")) { String pdfPath = data.getPath(); File myFile = new File(data.getPath()); Log.i("FirstActivity", "pdfPath is " + pdfPath); Log.i("FirstActivity", "uri abs path is " + myFile.getAbsolutePath()); } else { Toast.makeText(SplashScreenActivity.this, "Invalid file type.Please choose valid file!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } } } Is there any android version specific problem while getting file's path?I am using android lollipop device for testing?
