How to Get parcelFileDescriptor from URI?












-1















In my app I am receiving intent to open the pdf file using "application/pdf" intent-filter in menifest.



After a lot of research I am trying following code to open the file.



     try {
File f = new File("file://"+uri.getPath());
Toast.makeText(k.this, f.getAbsolutePath(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(k.this, f.exists()?"Y":"N", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
parcelFileDescriptor = ParcelFileDescriptor.open(f, ParcelFileDescriptor.MODE_READ_ONLY);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}


When I click on a file from file manager and open it with my app, It says the file does not exist. That means I am not able to create file from URI.



So my question is how to get parcelFileDescriptor from URI.

  • Use one of the ContentResolver#openFileDescriptor() methods.
