How do I convert String to URI

Question

I need a parameter for the setRedirectUri method but it only takes URI. Is there a way to convert String into URI?

import com.wrapper.spotify.*;
import java.net.URI;

public class Music {

    private String id;
    private String secret;

    public void authenticate(String id, String secret)
    {
        this.id = id;
        this.secret = secret;
        URI myAccount = new URI("<URI>");
        SpotifyApi spotifyApi = new SpotifyApi.Builder()
                .setClientId(this.id)
                .setClientSecret(this.secret)
                .setRedirectUri(myAccount)
                .build();
    }
}

`java.net.URI` has a constructor which accepts just a String. `new URI(myString);` — Liftoff, Mar 19 '21 at 19:09

i've tried that and the constructor gives this error "Unhandled exception type URISyntaxException" am i missing some syntax? — NovaG35, Mar 19 '21 at 19:42
@NovaG35 Well, try to wrap those lines with a try catch block or add throws URISyntaxException to your method — Vimukthi, Mar 19 '21 at 19:58

Try this out:

        SpotifyApi spotifyApi = new SpotifyApi.Builder()
                .setClientId(this.id)
                .setClientSecret(this.secret)
                .setRedirectUri(
                     new java.net.URI("<your URI>"))
                .build();
