I made an android application for sending files like .pdf .ppt .jpeg .png etc to php mysql server. I tried several 3rd party file picking libraries , but none worked in my android device (android q).

 Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("*/*");
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Please Select a file"), 1);

By this I can utmost get the file's content Uri but i am unable to use it to send it to server. Please help.

Well.. to send a file you dont need a file picker i would say. You need some upload code. – blackapps Apr 29 '21 at 16:04
Further: a file is a file. If you can send one file you can send any file. – blackapps Apr 29 '21 at 16:05

No that is only for images. I am not getting the file path of other files by that method – Ankit Verma Apr 30 '21 at 13:10
