如何获取从whatsApp处理的Uri的真实路径

Question

I tried to copy the files from folder to another all my code works fine, but when I tried to move the file which handled from whatsApp an error happened that is

column '_data' does not exist

when I handle the file from Media it works fine and the Uri is:

content://media/external/audio/media/52889

but if the file handled from whatsApp the Uri would be:

content://com.whatsapp.provider.media/item/5033

So how can I get the real path of the Uri is coming from whatsApp

here is the Log Cat:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: println needs a message

I appreciate any help, and thanks for advance

Answer 1

Try to create an InputStream object of URI received from WhatsApp or any 3rd party app. Doing so enables one to upload the media to a server or perform other tasks.

Intent intent = getIntent();
imageUri = (Uri) intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);

Note:- This must be performed as soon as one receives the intent or in the same base activity.
