So, I have to get GPS data from file MetaData. "No problem", I said, "This will only take an hour or two". Six hour later, here I am searching through all Android Documentation and Stack exchange questions I can yet I still cant get it to work.
My Code is straight forward:
- I am using a ACTION_PICK to select a video (ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT Doesn't work either).
- I Have already requested the following permissions and added to the Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION" />
Below is code from the button listener
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK , MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
//intent.setType("video/*");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select A Video"),REQUEST_VIDEO_CONTENT);
}
});
And From the OnActivityResult:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent vIntent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, vIntent);
if ((requestCode == REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE || requestCode == REQUEST_VIDEO_CONTENT) && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
//Attempt to get Content Data
vIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
vIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION);
Uri vUri = vIntent.getData();
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
vUri = MediaStore.setRequireOriginal(vUri);
}
try {
InputStream vIS = getContentResolver().openInputStream(vUri);
ExifInterface vExif = new ExifInterface(vIS);
} catch (SecurityException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
And finally, the lovely SecurityException:
W/System.err: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider.impl.MediaContentProvider uri content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/0/2/content%3A%2F%2Fmedia%2Fexternal%2Fvideo%2Fmedia%2F198668/ORIGINAL/NONE/video%2Fmp4/328149382?requireOriginal=1 from pid=6190, uid=10146 requires the provider be exported, or grantUriPermission()

I get that the Error is saying the provider needs to be exported, or grantUriPermission which sounds like an easy fix, except I cannot find a way to implement what they ask. All the places I have looked have suggested adding flags.. as you can see it didnt work.
Please Help :-(
