No Activity found to handle intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK dat=[null, /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Video]

Question

Am getting the error like this when I pass some path which has been stored in database.

Actually I am using the below code

ArrayList path_list;

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
         uri = Uri.parse(path_list.get(2).toString());
        intent.setDataAndType(uri,"video/*");
        Log.e("URI",uri.toString());
        startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"),152);

So please suggest whether I can use same code or have to change anything in this.

Databasehelper class

  public ArrayList<String> getpaths()
{
    ArrayList<String> path_list = new ArrayList<String>();

    //hp = new HashMap();
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase("somePass");
    Cursor res =  db.rawQuery( "select * from Configuration", null );
    res.moveToFirst();

    while(res.isAfterLast() == false){
        path_list.add(res.getString(res.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_NAME_VIDEOPATH)));
        res.moveToNext();
    }
    return path_list;
}

after open folder to get the selected path

 String selectedMediaPath = null;
            if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
                selectedMediaPath = getPath(this, uri);
                Log.e("path", path_list.get(2).toString());
                Log.d("mediapath",selectedMediaPath);
            }

This is the getpath() method:

 @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {

    final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;

    // DocumentProvider
    if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
        // ExternalStorageProvider
        if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {
            final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
            final String[] split = docId.split(":");
            final String type = split[0];

            if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
                return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
            }

            // TODO handle non-primary volumes
        }
        // DownloadsProvider
        else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {

            final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
            final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
                    Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));

            return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null);
        }
        // MediaProvider
        else if (isMediaDocument(uri)) {
            final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
            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]
            };

            return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
        }
    }
    // MediaStore (and general)
    else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
        return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
    }
    // File
    else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
        return uri.getPath();
    }

    return null;
}

please tell something I tried for two days.

Answer 1

I think the error is very self explanatory. There isn't an app(actually activity) to handle the specific intent. Use

if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {

    startAFR(intent);

}else{
    //Log no activity found
    //Inform user via toast/snackbar etc
}

Open Folder to pick a video file

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); 
Uri uri = Uri.parse(...); 
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/*");   
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open folder"));

Answer 2

Whenever you are using ArrayList(path_list) you should get the values with it's index like path_list.get(0).toString();

 final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
 intent.setData(Uri.parse(path_list.get(0).toString()));
 startActivityForResult(intent,152);

If you are having the problem still then try the below one

<activity android:name=".YourActivity">

    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="file" />
    <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
    <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.mp4" />

</activity>

And still you don't have a solution? then please try the below one

Open file securely with an external Android application without copying the file onto the external storage
