I have an image located at path temp_path .i want that image to be opened with Android gallery app .To do so i add following code inside a function in Fragment
File file=new File(temp_path);
Uri uri;
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<24)
{
uri=Uri.fromFile(file);
}
else
{
uri=Uri.parse(file.getPath());
}
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri,"jpg/jpeg/png");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
But i am getting following exception
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.example.force/files/Pictures/temp_image.jpg typ=jpg/jpeg/png flg=0x10000000 }
How to resolve this exception.
Tried Solution 1(adding fileprovider) I added provider into AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_path"/>
</provider>
Also created provider_path.xml as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path
name="external_files"
path="."/>
</paths>
and also modified my java code to
File file=new File(temp_path);
Uri uri;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
{
uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext() ,getContext().getPackageName() + ".provider", file);
} else
{
uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
}
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri,"jpg/jpeg/png");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
But still getting the same Exception
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.example.force.provider/external_files/Android/data/com.example.force/files/Pictures/temp_image.jpg typ=jpg/jpeg/png flg=0x10000000 }
note value of dat :is it right?
my image is located at path /Android/data/com.example.force/files/Pictures/temp_image.jpg
in external storage
Tried Solution 2: I added provider into AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_path"/>
</provider>
Also created provider_path.xml
Modified as compared to tried solution 1
<paths
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path
name="com.example.force"
path="."/>
</paths>
and also modified my java code to as compared to tried solution 1
File file=new File(temp_path);
Uri uri;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
{
uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext() ,getContext().getPackageName() + ".provider", file);
} else
{
uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
}
String mime="/*";
MimeTypeMap mimeTypeMap=MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
if(mimeTypeMap.hasExtension(mimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(uri.toString())))
{
mime=mimeTypeMap.getMimeTypeFromExtension(mimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(uri.toString()));
}
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uri,mime);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
this time no exception arise but gallery app is displaying File format isn't supported or files are corrupted and if i see detail of image its picking path of image as
`content://com.example.force.provider/com.example.force./Android/data/com.example.force/files/Pictures/temp_image.jpg`
but right path of image file is
/Android/data/com.example.force/files/Pictures/temp_image.jpg
Thanks to Intellij Amiya and CommonsWare for helping . Final solution to this problem is achieved by adding tried solution 2 and also adding flag to intent
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
