I have an app where I capture a video using the camera. I can get the video's file path, but I need it as a Uri.
The file path I'm getting:
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/20141219_133139.mp4
What I need is like this:
content//media/external/video/media/18576.
This is my code.
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// if the result is capturing Image
if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// video successfully recorded
// preview the recorded video
// selectedImageUri = data.getData();
// Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
previewVideo();
tv1.setText(String.valueOf((fileUri.getPath())));
String bedroom=String.valueOf((fileUri.getPath()));
Intent i = new Intent();
i.putExtra(bhk1.BEDROOM2, bedroom);
setResult(RESULT_OK,i);
btnRecordVideo.setText("ReTake Video");
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// user cancelled recording
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"User cancelled video recording", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
} else {
// failed to record video
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! Failed to record video", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
I need a Uri from the String variable bedroom
.
Normal answer for this question if you really want to get something like content//media/external/video/media/18576
(e.g. for your video mp4 absolute path) and not just file///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/20141219_133139.mp4
:
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this,
new String[] { file.getAbsolutePath() }, null,
new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Log.i("onScanCompleted", uri.getPath());
}
});
Accepted answer is wrong (cause it will not return content//media/external/video/media/*
)
Uri.fromFile(file).toString()
only returns something like file///storage/emulated/0/*
which is a simple absolute path of a file on the sdcard but with file//
prefix (scheme)
You can also get content
uri using MediaStore
database of Android
TEST (what returns Uri.fromFile
and what returns MediaScannerConnection
):
File videoFile = new File("/storage/emulated/0/video.mp4");
Log.i(TAG, Uri.fromFile(videoFile).toString());
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[] { videoFile.getAbsolutePath() }, null,
(path, uri) -> Log.i(TAG, uri.toString()));
Output:
I/Test: file:///storage/emulated/0/video.mp4
I/Test: content://media/external/video/media/268927
Below code works fine before 18 API :-
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
// can post image
String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = managedQuery( contentUri,
proj, // Which columns to return
null, // WHERE clause; which rows to return (all rows)
null, // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
null); // Order-by clause (ascending by name)
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
below code use on kitkat :-
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
// DocumentProvider
if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
// ExternalStorageProvider
if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
}
// TODO handle non-primary volumes
}
// DownloadsProvider
else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {
final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null);
}
// MediaProvider
else if (isMediaDocument(uri)) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("video".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("audio".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {
split[1]
};
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
}
}
// MediaStore (and general)
else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}
