I have encountered the exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URI: content://downloads/public_downloads/7505 in getting the doucument from the downloads. This solution worked for me.
else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {
String fileName = getFilePath(context, uri);
if (fileName != null) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Download/" + fileName;
}
String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
if (id.startsWith("raw:")) {
id = id.replaceFirst("raw:", "");
File file = new File(id);
if (file.exists())
return id;
}
final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null);
}
This the method used to get the filepath
public static String getFilePath(Context context, Uri uri) {
Cursor cursor = null;
final String[] projection = {
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME
};
try {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null,
null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
return cursor.getString(index);
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}
