We need to convert a file path to a content uri and pass on for subsequent processing to a common component. When we use "Uri.fromFile(file)" it returns a file uri and not a content uri. Please let us know how to get this converted. Appreciate your help.
for (File file : fileBaseFolder.listFiles()) {
Uri convertedUri = Uri.fromFile(file);//Need to convert this Uri to a Content uri
.........
}
Use FileProvider to serve your file.
It gives nice uries.
FileProvider.getUriForFile().
You can serve all files except those from removable micro sd card.
try MediaScannerConnection.scanFile
for (File file : fileBaseFolder.listFiles()) {
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[] { file.getAbsolutePath() }, null,
(path, uri) -> Log.i(TAG, uri.toString()));
}
Take a look at the below link for the solution.
