Make telegram video call with specific contact with android programmatically

I want to make start a telegram video call from inside my android app, so I have decompiled the new telegram apk to find the following:
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.profile" />
<data
android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.call" />
<data
android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.call.video" />
</intent-filter>
There is something related to call.video, but I don't know how to use this data element in the code, my only try was to do the following:
Intent telegram = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW ,
Uri.parse("https://telegram.me/"+contact));
startActivity(telegram);
I expect something like telegram.setType("video"); or telegram.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.call.video").
Is it possible at the end ?
Thanks in advance

You need to use URI contactID with mimeType which is "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.call.video". Looking first contactID by number phone:
private String getContactIdByPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
String contactId = null;
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID));
}
cursor.close();
}
return contactId;
}
then use this contactID and mimeType to find URI:
private Uri getUriFromPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
Uri uri = null;
String contactId = getContactIdByPhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
String mimeTypeTelegram = "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.org.telegram.messenger.android.call.video";
Cursor cursorTelegram = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.Data._ID},
ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=? AND " + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{contactId, mimeTypeTelegram}, null);
if (cursorTelegram != null) {
while (cursorTelegram.moveToNext()) {
String id = cursorTelegram.getString(cursorTelegram.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(id)) {
uri = Uri.parse(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI + "/" + id);
break;
}
}
cursorTelegram.close();
}
return uri;
}
after which use Intent.ACTION_VIEW:
public void videoCallToTelegramContact(String phoneNumber) {
Uri uri = getUriFromPhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
Log.d(TAG, uri + "");
if (uri != null) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
It would be nice to add a check for the installed 'Telegram', as well as whether the user has allowed the video call.

You have to add FileProvider inside Manifest.xml like below
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="<YOUR PACKAGE NAME>.fileProvider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
Then Go to you java file and create below method and pass originalFile in this method
private void openPDF(File fileName) {
try {
MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
String ext = fileName.getName().substring(fileName.getName().lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
String type = mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(ext);
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), "<YOUR PACKAGE NAME>.fileProvider", fileName);
intent.setDataAndType(contentUri, type);
} else {
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(fileName), type);
}
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "No activity found to open this attachment.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
This will help you to open PDF file

How to handle different type of content uri

I want to get image URI from another app like a gallery, google drive, whats app etc
I have registered following intent filter :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
and to get the actual path
if (_uri != null && "content".equals(_uri.getScheme())) {
Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(_uri, new String[] { android.provider.MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA }, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
filePath = cursor.getString(0);
cursor.close();
} else {
filePath = _uri.getPath();
}
with this, I am able to see my app from gallery whats app. From gallery, I am able to get image path URI but when I am trying to share from other apps like whatsapp or google drive its give me null

file path return null always in lollipop android

this is my code when i'm getting image from internal storage (gallery).
In lollipop file path return always null.
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE) {
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
//image successfully picked
// launching upload activity
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
columnindex = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
file_path = cursor.getString(columnindex);
Log.d(getClass().getName(), "file_path"+file_path);
fileUri = Uri.parse("file://" + file_path);
cursor.close();
launchUploadActivity(true, PICK_IMAGE);
}else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled recording
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"User cancelled image selection", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// failed to record video
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Sorry! failed to pick image", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Thanx all,I found the solution.
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(selectedImage);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().
query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
String filePath = "";
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
setImageFromIntent(filePath);

Add permission to your manifest -
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
you have to define read permission, before read any content.
EDITED
Update your code -
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);
columnindex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
file_path = cursor.getString(columnindex);
Log.d(getClass().getName(), "file_path"+file_path);
fileUri = Uri.parse("file://" + file_path);
cursor.close();
launchUploadActivity(true, PICK_IMAGE);
So here if any exception in getting data from cursor then it throws exception.

Lollipop decided to take another course with getting files from the system. (Some say it is from KitKat, but I haven't encountered it yet on KitKat). The code below is to get the filepath on lollipop

{
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type))
{
contentUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {
split[1]
};
String filePath = getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
}
isMediaDocument:
public static boolean isMediaDocument(Uri uri)
{
return "com.android.providers.media.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority());
}
getDataColumn:
private static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
{
Cursor cursor = null;
final String column = "_data";
final String[] projection = {
column
};
try {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst())
{
final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}
If you still have problems, this is the full answer that checks for images, audio, video, files, etc.

how to get Real Path from Uri?

I would like to upload file to server. So I use a file chooser. But I have a problem with some application to get the real path from uri. the case if the content is a v
ideo, audio or image or if I can get the path directly i have no problem. the methode imlemented are :
public String getRealAudioPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA };
//This method was deprecated in API level 11
//Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
this,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
and it is the some for image and video. but my problem is when content is in this forme:
content://com.dataviz.dxtg.documentprovider/document/file%3A%2F%2F%2Fmnt%2Fsdcard%2FDownload%2Arbres.png
I tried the method
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
So how to get the real path from URi and if there is an other content type .
to get my real path is given below:
//Uri return from external activity
orgUri = data.getData();
text1.setText("fichier à envoyer " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");
// imagepath = orgUri.toString() ;
//path converted from Uri
//convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
if(orgUri.toString().contains(IMAGEMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);
} else if(orgUri.toString().contains(AUDIOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealAudioPathFromURI(orgUri);
}
else if(orgUri.toString().contains(VIDEOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealvideoPathFromURI(orgUri);
}else {
if(orgUri.toString().contains("content")){
convertedPath = getFilePathFromContentUri(orgUri,
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver());
} else {
convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
}
}

try this one
Uri selectedFile = data.getData();
String path = selectedFile.getPath();
it works for me.
if it is not than let me inform i have another way too

This works for me...
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=
Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
Log.i("URI",uri+"");
String result = uri+"";
// DocumentProvider
// if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
if (isKitKat && (result.contains("media.documents"))) {
String[] ary = result.split("/");
int length = ary.length;
String imgary = ary[length-1];
final String[] dat = imgary.split("%3A");
final String docId = dat[1];
final String type = dat[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("video".equals(type)) {
} else if ("audio".equals(type)) {
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {
dat[1]
};
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
}
else
if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}
public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String selection,
String[] selectionArgs) {
Cursor cursor = null;
final String column = "_data";
final String[] projection = {
column
};
try {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}

It is a problem of decode. So the Solution is to add decode to the method. as given below:
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
String result = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(filePath, "UTF-8");
return result;
}
my onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
//image.setImageBitmap(null);
//Uri return from external activity
orgUri = data.getData();
text1.setText("fichier à envoyer " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");
// imagepath = orgUri.toString() ;
//path converted from Uri
//convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
if(orgUri.toString().contains(IMAGEMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);
} else if(orgUri.toString().contains(AUDIOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealAudioPathFromURI(orgUri);
}
else if(orgUri.toString().contains(VIDEOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealvideoPathFromURI(orgUri);
}else {
if(orgUri.toString().contains("content")){
try {
convertedPath = getFilePathFromContentUri(orgUri,
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
} else {
convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
}
}
// text2.setText("Real Path: " + convertedPath + "\n");
imagepath = convertedPath;
uriFromPath = Uri.fromFile(new File(convertedPath));
}
}
