How To Convert Uri To Real Path In Marshmallow?
I have an image URI and I want to convert this URI to a real path. I've looked at lot of of answers but none worked for me. I'm using marshmallow 6.0.1. The image URI is content://
Solution 1:
A Uri is not a File. A Uri does not have to represent a file on the filesystem that you can access. The Uri might point to content that is:
- stored on removable storage, which you cannot access
- stored on internal storage of another app, which you cannot access
- stored in an encrypted form, where a
ContentProviderneeds to decrypt it - stored in a BLOB column of a SQLite database, where a
ContentProviderneeds to load it and serve it - stored in "the cloud", where a
ContentProviderneeds to download it - generated on the fly, the way this Web page is
- and so on
You can use ContentResolver and openInputStream() to get an InputStream on the content represented by the Uri. You can create a FileOutputStream on some file that you control. And, you can use Java I/O to copy from the InputStream to the OutputStream, making your own copy of the content in a file that you control.
