In my app I am importing a csv file. This works fine when using the internal memory but it does not work from the SD card.
The following code is used to show the file dialog:
Intent intent = new Intent().setType("*/*").setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a file"), 99);
Afterwards the selected file gets used like this:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 99 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedFile = data.getData();
this.readFromCSV(selectedFile.getPath());
}
}
When I pick a file from the internal storage (from the folder "Documens" the returned path looks like this and works:
/storage/emulated/0/Documents/test.csv
From the SD card (from the root level) like this and fails:
/storage/emulated/0/document/78F1-1915:test.csv
Unfortunately DocumentFile.fromSingleUri() also returns the same invalid path.
How do I fix the path for the SD card file? Cheers!
