I can't delete the folder's content from path

I'm currently getting this path from my FileExplorer
val path = "content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary:Download"
And I'm trying to delete the content of this location:
val fileFolder = File(path)
deleteFolderContent(fileFolder)
private fun deleteFolderContent(fileFolder: File) {
val files = fileFolder.listFiles()
if (files.isNullOrEmpty()) {
return
} else {
for (file in files) {
file.delete()
}
}
}
But files is always null and I can't delete the content. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Update:
For obtain this "path" I did this:
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE)
startActivityForResult(intent, SELECT_FOLDER_REQUEST_CODE)
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == SELECT_FOLDER_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
val uriTree = data?.data
}
}

you can't access content directory as a File (even when URI points on local storage). check out Providers and ContentResolver, HERE you have some basics, for files there is special one: FileProvider. but for your case ContentResolver may fit for your needs best, with method:
context.contentResolver.delete(uriToDelete, null, null)

Get Image URI from Gallery and passing it to another activity, cannot see image, get an exception

I have an activity from which I launch the gallery, select an image, and want to display the selected image in another activity. I have referred to the following solution and implemented the same.
How to get Image URI from Gallery?
Though I am able to pass the URI to the next activity, I cannot see anything on the image view. Any help as to where I am going wrong, appreciated.
btn_launch_gallery.setOnClickListener {
val requestCode = 0
val launchGalleryIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
startActivityForResult(launchGalleryIntent, requestCode)
}
My OnActivityResult looks like this, basically implemented the same as given in the example cited above.
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode === 0 && resultCode === Activity.RESULT_OK ) {
val selectedImage: Uri? = data?.data
val picturePath = getRealPathFromURI(
selectedImage,
this
)
val intent = Intent(this, LogFoodDetail::class.java)
intent.putExtra("image_from_gallery", picturePath)
try {
startActivity(intent)
}
catch (e: Exception)
{
e.printStackTrace()
Log.e("Error",e.printStackTrace().toString())
}
}
}
fun getRealPathFromURI(contentURI: Uri?, context: Activity): String? {
val projection =
arrayOf(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)
val cursor = context.managedQuery(
contentURI, projection, null,
null, null
)
?: return null
val column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)
return if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
// cursor.close();
cursor.getString(column_index)
} else null
// cursor.close();
}
In my next activity, I getting the intent like this and passing the URI to ImageView. However, I cannot see the image. I get the following error - W/System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/***.jpg
val resId = intent.getStringExtra("image_from_gallery")
val imgThumbnail: ImageView = findViewById(R.id.food_thumbnail)
try{
val imageStream: InputStream? = contentResolver.openInputStream(Uri.parse(resId))
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream)
imgThumbnail.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
}
catch (e: Exception)
{
e.printStackTrace()
}
I see the following image in the next activity:
UPDATE:
As commented by #blackapps in his answer passing the URI as a string to the next activity on an intent.putExtra() and resolving the URI in the subsequent activity solved it, the updated code in OnActivityResult() is,
...
val selectedImage: Uri? = data?.data
val intent = Intent(this, LogFoodDetail::class.java)
intent.putExtra("image_from_gallery",
selectedImage.toString())
startActivity(intent)

Dont convert a nice uri to a file system path.
Uri uri = data.getData();
Pass the obtained uri directly to the next activity.
And there you can use it for
imageView.setImageUri(uri);
Instead of the uri you can also pass the uri as string with uri.toString().

You can directly load an local image Uri using:
imgThumbnail.setImageUri(yourUri);
Instead of sending the string path to the activity, you should send the raw uri and then set it directly to the imageView.

select multiple images from gallery in KOTLIN (want image path) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Error "must not be null" in Kotlin
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am working on an Application for making a video from multiple images in kotlin. I got many code of java but can not convert it in propare way to kotlin code. Alwayse got an error cursor.getString(column_index) must not be null. I am just beginner at Kotlin. so can anyone give a brief solution for my problem.
val cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, filePathColumn, null, null, null)
cursor!!.moveToFirst()
val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0])

Hey I m also suffering with same issue nd got the solution. just follow my code.
private var context: Context? = null
var PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE = 1
lateinit var imagePath: String
var imagesPathList: MutableList<String> = arrayListOf()
call gallery intent first
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
var intent = Intent()
intent.type = "image/*"
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true)
intent.action = Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture")
, PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE
)
} else {
var intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
intent.type = "image/*"
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE);
}
now check onActivityResult
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
// When an Image is picked
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_MULTIPLE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK
&& null != data
) {
if (data.getClipData() != null) {
var count = data.clipData.itemCount
for (i in 0..count - 1) {
var imageUri: Uri = data.clipData.getItemAt(i).uri
getPathFromURI(imageUri)
}
} else if (data.getData() != null) {
var imagePath: String = data.data.path
Log.e("imagePath", imagePath);
}
displayImageData()
}
}
private fun getPathFromURI(uri: Uri) {
var path: String = uri.path // uri = any content Uri
val databaseUri: Uri
val selection: String?
val selectionArgs: Array<String>?
if (path.contains("/document/image:")) { // files selected from "Documents"
databaseUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
selection = "_id=?"
selectionArgs = arrayOf(DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri).split(":")[1])
} else { // files selected from all other sources, especially on Samsung devices
databaseUri = uri
selection = null
selectionArgs = null
}
try {
val projection = arrayOf(
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID,
MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION,
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN
) // some example data you can query
val cursor = contentResolver.query(
databaseUri,
projection, selection, selectionArgs, null
)
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0])
imagePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex)
// Log.e("path", imagePath);
imagesPathList.add(imagePath)
}
cursor.close()
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.e(TAG, e.message, e)
}
}

This is a solution using Github repo for your requirement.
In your app gradle file add these lines
implementation 'com.github.esafirm.android-image-picker:imagepicker:1.13.1'
// for experimental rx picker
implementation 'com.github.esafirm.android-image-picker:rximagepicker:1.13.1'
// If you have a problem with Glide, please use the same Glide version or simply open an issue
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'
in Java class call this to pick or take image
startActivityForResult(ImagePicker.create(getActivity())
.multi()
.folderMode(true)
.returnMode(ReturnMode.ALL)
.getIntent(getActivity()), IpCons.RC_IMAGE_PICKER);
and in onActivityResult() get the arraylist of selected images
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, final int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (ImagePicker.shouldHandle(requestCode, resultCode, data)) {
// Get a list of picked images
List<Image> images = ImagePicker.getImages(data)
// do your stuff here
// or get a single image only
//Image image = ImagePicker.getFirstImageOrNull(data)
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
This code is less complex and no need to handle image multiple selection , just adding multi() to enable multiple selection.
Note:- Copy this code and paste in your kotlin project , the converter will
automatically convert it to kotlin

How to upload file from downloads folder in Android Oreo and above?

I am trying to write the code to upload file from Android Oreo and Above. First I am running a intent to get the uri of the file.
intent_upload.action = Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT
return Intent.createChooser(intent_upload, pickerTitle)
But when I select file from downloads folder, it returns a null filepath from following code. It works perfectly for devices below Android Oreo but I cannot find any solution for android o and above.
Please help
val id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri)
val contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), java.lang.Long.valueOf(id));
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null)
Code for getDataColumn is as follow
fun getDataColumn(context: Context, uri: Uri?, selection: String?,
selectionArgs: Array<String>?): String? {
var cursor: Cursor? = null
val column = "_data"
val projection = arrayOf(column)
try {
cursor = context.contentResolver.query(uri!!, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null)
val temp = context
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
val index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column)
return cursor.getString(index)
}
}catch (e:Exception){
} finally {
cursor?.close()
}
return null
}
It is happening for API 26 and above.
My motive is to upload a pdf file from the downloads folder in Android.

I know this is past due. I also faced this issue and I was able to find a solution from this gist. FileUtils.java. Just use this util class in your project
Just leaving this here for people who face this issue in the future. Wasted a couple of hours working on this.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Uri uri = data.getData();
File originalFile = new File(FileUtils.getRealPath(this,uri));
}

android camera: onActivityResult() intent is null if it had extras

After searching a lot in all the related issues at Stack Overflow and finding nothing, please try to help me.
I created an intent for capture a picture. Then I saw different behavior at onActivityResult(): if I don't put any extra in the Intent (for small pics) the Intent in onActivityResult is ok, but when I put extras in the intent for writing the pic to a file, the intent in onActivityResult is null!
The Intent creation:
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
// without the following line the intent is ok
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, actionCode);
Why is it null, and how can I solve it?

It happens the same to me, if you are providing MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, then the intent is null, but you will have the photo in the file you provided (Uri.fromFile(f)).
If you don't specify MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT then you will have an intent which contains the uri from the file where the camera has saved the photo.
Don't know if it as a bug, but it works that way.
EDIT: So in onActivityResult() you no longer need to check for data if null. The following worked with me:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST://actionCode
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {
//For Image Gallery
}
return;
case CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST://actionCode
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
//For CAMERA
//You can use image PATH that you already created its file by the intent that launched the CAMERA (MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT)
return;
}
}
}
Hope it helps

A sample written in Kotlin. You create a Uri for camera app, CameraFragment holds it until camera returns from saving your picture and gives it back to you in onActivityResult as you would expect.
CameraFragment.kt
Acts as an intermediary between consumer and camera app. Takes Uri as input and returns it in data Intent.
class CameraFragment : Fragment() {
companion object {
val TAG = CameraFragment::class.java.simpleName
private val KEY_URI = ".URI"
fun newInstance(uri: Uri, targetFragment: Fragment, requestCode: Int): CameraFragment {
val args = Bundle()
args.putParcelable(KEY_URI, uri)
val fragment = CameraFragment()
fragment.arguments = args
fragment.setTargetFragment(targetFragment, requestCode)
return fragment
}
}
private lateinit var uri: Uri
private var fired = false
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
retainInstance = true
fired = savedInstanceState?.getBoolean("fired") ?: false
if (!fired) {
val args = arguments
uri = args.getParcelable(KEY_URI)
val i = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri)
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
context.grantUriPermission(i, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
startActivityForResult(i, targetRequestCode)
fired = true
}
}
override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
outState.putBoolean("fired", fired)
}
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == targetRequestCode) {
context.revokeUriPermission(uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
val newData = Intent()
newData.data = uri
targetFragment.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, newData)
dismiss()
}
}
private fun dismiss() {
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().remove(this).commit()
}
}
/** Grant Uri permissions for all camera apps. */
fun Context.grantUriPermission(intent: Intent, uri: Uri, modeFlags: Int) {
val resolvedIntentActivities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
for (resolvedIntentInfo in resolvedIntentActivities) {
val packageName = resolvedIntentInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, modeFlags);
}
}
Invoke camera intent
this is a fragment in your app which will trigger the camera. RC_CAMERA is your request code for this action.
val uri = /* Your output Uri. */
val f = CameraFragment.newInstance(uri, this, RC_CAMERA)
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().add(f, CameraFragment.TAG).commit()
Handle camera result
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
when(requestCode) {
RC_CAMERA -> {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
val uri = data?.data
// Do whatever you need.
}
}
}
}

Where did you create the ffor the Uri.fromFile(f)?
It must be a valid File object. Try to create it before the EXTRA_OUTPUT line.
File f = new File("valid path");
Try with something like this:
File file = new File(dataFile);
Uri outFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PHOTO);

use the following:
Bitmap bitmap = data.getExtras().getParcelable("data");
it works.
