API 级别 29 Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT 从下载文件夹返回错误 ID

Question

I am trying to find the full file path for an URI returned from file picker intent. I have downloaded an image from internet which was saved in the browser default download folder. The problem is the id returned by DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(content_describer) is like "msf:254" instead of Long type id generally returned. The code is as following

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == 101 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Uri content_describer = data.getData();
        String src = content_describer.getPath();
        try {
            Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getActivity().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
            imgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
        }catch(Exception e){

        }

        Log.e("selected file", content_describer.toString());
        String filename = content_describer.getLastPathSegment();
        Log.e("selected path", filename);
        Log.e("authority",content_describer.getAuthority());


        if (content_describer.getAuthority().equals("com.android.externalstorage.documents")) {
            final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(content_describer);
            final String[] split = docId.split(":");
            final String type = split[0];
            Log.e("npath", "getPath() docId: " + docId + ", split: " + split.length + ", type: " + type);
            if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
                if (split.length > 1) {
                    Log.e("nnpath1", Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1]);
                    curFile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
                } else {
                    Log.e("nnpath2", Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/");
                }
                // This is for checking SD Card
            } else {
                Log.e("nnpath3", "storage" + "/" + docId.replace(":", "/"));
                curFile = "storage" + "/" + docId.replace(":", "/");
            }
        }

        if (content_describer.getAuthority().equals("com.android.providers.downloads.documents")) {
            final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(content_describer);
            Log.e("docid",docId);

            Uri ci = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(docId));

            final String column = "_data";
            final String[] projection = {
                    column
            };
            Cursor cursor10 = getActivity().getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(ci, projection, null, null,
                    null);
            if (cursor10 != null && cursor10.moveToFirst()) {


                final int column_index = cursor10.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
                Log.e("imgpp", cursor10.getString(column_index));
                Log.e("imgpp2", Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).getPath());
                File fn = new File(cursor10.getString(column_index));
                Log.e("imgpp3", fn.getPath());
                curFile = fn.getPath();
            }
        }

        if (content_describer.getAuthority().equals("com.android.providers.media.documents")) {
            final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(content_describer);
            Log.e("docid", docId);
            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]
            };

            final String column = "_data";
            final String[] projection = {
                    column
            };
            Cursor cursor1 = getActivity().getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(contentUri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
                    null);
            if (cursor1 != null && cursor1.moveToFirst()) {


                final int column_index = cursor1.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
                Log.e("imgpp", cursor1.getString(column_index));
                Log.e("imgpp2", Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).getPath());
                File fn = new File(cursor1.getString(column_index));
                Log.e("imgpp3", fn.getPath());
                curFile = fn.getPath();
            }
        }

        Log.e("final path",curFile);


    }
}

Please note if I pick the same image going via Image->Downwnload, the above code works normally but when same file is picked from Downloads folder, following error is thrown

The URI is reported as content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf%3A253 Any idea what is msf? I have seen image, video, audo but noticed msf for first time.

Answer 1

When you get "msf:xxx" in URI, use below solution:

if (id != null && id.startsWith("msf:")) {
                    final File file = new File(mContext.getCacheDir(), Constant.TEMP_FILE + Objects.requireNonNull(mContext.getContentResolver().getType(imageUri)).split("/")[1]);
                    try (final InputStream inputStream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri); OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
                        final byte[] buffer = new byte[4 * 1024]; // or other buffer size
                        int read;

                        while ((read = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                            output.write(buffer, 0, read);
                        }

                        output.flush();
                        return file;
                    } catch (IOException ex) {
                        ex.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    return null;
                }

I have fixed this issue and it's working 100% for msf. :)

Also Delete the temp file after the completion of your work:

private void deleteTempFile() {
        final File[] files = requireContext().getCacheDir().listFiles();
        if (files != null) {
            for (final File file : files) {
                if (file.getName().contains(Constant.TEMP_FILE)) {
                    file.delete();
                }
            }
        }
    }

Here TEMP_FILE value is "temp."

Answer 2

I found the way from comment section. Thanks to @blackapps.

 val inputStream = context!!.contentResolver.openInputStream(data.data!!)
 val docFile =File("${activity!!.cacheDir}/doc_${sharedPreferences.getString("applno", "")}.pdf")
 if (!docFile.exists()) {
        docFile.createNewFile()
 }

copyStreamToFile(inputStream,!,docFile)

private fun copyStreamToFile(inputStream: InputStream, outputFile: File) {
    inputStream.use { input ->
        val outputStream = FileOutputStream(outputFile)
        outputStream.use { output ->
            val buffer = ByteArray(4 * 1024) // buffer size
            while (true) {
                val byteCount = input.read(buffer)
                if (byteCount < 0) break
                output.write(buffer, 0, byteCount)
            }
            output.flush()
        }
    }
}
