I want to upload pdf to my server.For this i want to allow user to choose file from their local device as well as google drive
If user select file from their device then i get uri like content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/5447 but when user select file from their google drive then i get uri like content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D1%3Bdoc%3D10324 and i am unable to convert this uri to file
Code for choosing file
private void showFileChooser() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("application/pdf");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Choose File to Upload.."),PICK_FILE_REQUEST);
}
Code for creating multipart
public MultipartBody.Part GetMultiPartCV(Uri uri) {
if (uri!= null) {
File file = FileUtils.getFile(this, uri);
RequestBody requestFile = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse(getContentResolver().getType(uri)), file);
return MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("file", file.getPath(), requestFile);
} else {
return null;
}
}
When i upload from downloaded folder it works perfectly because i am able to convert uri to file but when i choose filr from google drive i am unable to convert uri to file so it gives me null pointer exception .
