I want to get the path of a file(pdf in this case).
I tried myFile.getAbsolutePath() and uri.getPath() but instead of returning /storage/emulated/0/Download/dummy.pdf it returns /com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/8 .
I couldn't find a working solution for this problem so instead I used FilePath.getPath(context, uri) .
It was working perfectly fine but after a few runs it stopped working and gave me exception :
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf:31 flg=0x1 }} to activity {com.example.pm/com.example.pm.UploadFileActivity}: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "msf:31"
And that's why I don't like using FilePath.
Anybody have any Idea why in the first place I'm not getting the correct path (it worked before) and how can I fix this problem? If not is there any other way that I can get the file path being 100% sure that it always works?
I would appreciate your help in advance. thanks.
