Could not be able to get file from uri

Question

I have a simple scenario, I have to select a file from Internal or external storage and upload to a Server using service.

Opening file chooser in this way

case R.id.action_cv: {

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
    intent.setType("*/*");
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, null), Constant.REQUEST_CODE_OPEN);

    break;
}

In onActivityResult() I get file

if (requestCode == Constant.REQUEST_CODE_OPEN) {
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {

        Uri fileUri = data.getData();

        if (Utils.validateFileType(Utils.getMimeType(UserProfileActivity.this, fileUri))){
            Log.e("File", fileUri.toString());
            uploadFile(fileUri.toString());
        } else {
            FutureSmileToast.getInstance()
                    .showToast(getApplicationContext(), "File type is not supported", SuperToast.Background.RED);
        }

    }
}

It shows

E/File: content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/6158-1118%3Asome_file.txt

Now the issue is in uploadFile() method which is

private void uploadFile(String filePath) {

    File file = new File(filePath);

    String fileNameString = System.currentTimeMillis() + file.getName();

    // Parsing any Media type file
    RequestBody requestBody = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("*/*"), file);
    MultipartBody.Part fileToUpload = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("cvfile", fileNameString, requestBody);
    RequestBody filename = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), file.getName());

    Call<ServerResponse> call = mRestManager.getApiService().uploadCVFile(fileToUpload, filename);
    call.enqueue(new Callback<ServerResponse>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<ServerResponse> call, Response<ServerResponse> response) {

            if (null != response.body()) {
                serverResponse = response.body();
                if (serverResponse.getSuccess()) {

                    //Further proccesing 

                } else {
                    FutureSmileToast.getInstance()
                            .showToast(getApplicationContext(), serverResponse.getMessage(), SuperToast.Background.RED);

                }
            } else {
                //
            }
            dialog.dismiss();
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<ServerResponse> call, Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace();
            FutureSmileToast.getInstance()
                    .showToast(getApplicationContext(), "Failed to upload CV", SuperToast.Background.RED);
        }
    });
} // CV upload

This method gives me Exception

How can I get file from URI and resolve the issue which causes exception?

before upload file to the server you need to get file path from URI — akhilesh0707, Aug 11 '17 at 06:02
@AkhileshPatil yes! and I tried the solution you suggested in comment above it gives me error `java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/some_file.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)` — Arshad Ali, Aug 11 '17 at 06:14
I con't figure it out how to call it, a little example please!! — Arshad Ali, Aug 11 '17 at 07:09

did you check the file path ?? , is it correct ?? , In my case I replaced the file path to simple path like storage/file.txt then , I directly wrote the path myself and tested and it worked for me (I Did this just for testing to check if it works first) , But yes there is some issue in retrieving file from path nowadays ..

the path comes from URI – Arshad Ali Aug 11 '17 at 06:31
don't know how to change that!! – Arshad Ali Aug 11 '17 at 06:31
You directly cut and paste the file inside storage like storage/file.txt , then you hardcode your path in your fileUpload method like File file = new File("storage/file.txt"); , I Did this just for testing to check if it works first .... – Omar Dhanish Aug 11 '17 at 06:34

Did you try using fileProvider like below:

Uri uriName = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
                        "your.app.fileProviderPath",
                        fileName);

How can I set or get `your.app.fileProviderPath`? – Arshad Ali Aug 11 '17 at 06:56
Actually you call your `onActivityResult` through `Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)` from this case `case R.id.action_cv`. Am I correct? – vss Aug 11 '17 at 06:59
Yes I see it there! Now what?? – Arshad Ali Aug 11 '17 at 07:03
It seems the file path is incorrect or might be malformed. You are getting a `FileNotFoundException`. Could you print this `File file = new File(filePath);` file for me? Log a `file.getAbsolutePath` in your `uploadFile` method – vss Aug 11 '17 at 07:28
