get path from Google Drive URI

Question

I\'m using Android file selection and selecting files from app storage (images, videos, documents). I have an function \"getPath\" . Im getting path from uri. I have no problem

Answer 1

I was also stuck with the same issue and found that when we choose image from google drive its uri is like below

com.google.android.apps.docs.storage

and we cant directly get the path of file as it is not in our device. So we first download the file to a certain destination and then we can use that path to do our work. Below is the code for the same

FileOutputStream fos = null;
    try {
         fos = new FileOutputStream(getDestinationFilePath());
         try (BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(fos); 
         InputStream in = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri)) 
           {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
            int len = 0;

            while ((len = in.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
                  out.write(buffer, 0, len);
                 }

             out.flush();
            } finally {
                       fos.getFD().sync();
                      }

                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }

            File file = new File(destinationFilePath);
            if (Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(file.length() / 1024)) > 1024) {
            InputStream imageStream = null;



            try {
                 imageStream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
                        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }

now your file is saved at the desired destination path and you can use it.
