Leading '/' while reading a file in Android

Question

My file's actual location in SDcard is :

mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg

If I use the same for reading , for example :

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg");

The above case works fine :)

But, If I use them like :

String s="mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg";

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(s);

The above case does not work, as it puts a leading '/'. and the file path becomes

/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg

And therefore a java.io.FileNotFoundException is thrown

Please help me out in fixing this small issue.Thanks.

You have given a space after Image path. Change your code from

String s="mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg ";
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(s);

to

String s="mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Images/IMG_20140127_123605.jpg";
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(s);
