kandi X-RAY | aFileChooser Summary

aFileChooser is a Java library typically used in Mobile, Android applications. aFileChooser has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. However aFileChooser has 6 bugs and it build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

aFileChooser is an Android Library Project that simplifies the process of presenting a file chooser on Android 2.1+. Intents provide the ability to hook into third-party app components for content selection. This works well for media files, but if you want users to be able to select any file, they must have an existing "file explorer" app installed. Because many Android devices don't have stock File Explorers, the developer must often instruct the user to install one, or build one, themselves. aFileChooser solves this issue.

QUESTION

Uploading remote URI's using retrofit/okhttp stack on Android

Asked 2017-Apr-19 at 18:21

Dear stack overflow, The concept of an URI on Android is wonderful, and it abstracts out how we point to different things on the device and internet, but it does need careful thought to work with them. I have couple of questions for you.

1) How do people generally consume remote URI for uploading into their own server ? The best I can think of is, downloading the remote URI to disk, and giving a pointer to the file to okhttp. Is this the best way to go about doing it ?

2) Second is a more basic question with respect to local URI's. URI's can point to different things, and the absolute path to the file is stored at various places for various kinds of providers. Please see #getPath in this link .

Since okhttp works only with absolute files, is this logic present in that file the best way to do about sending the file via okhttp.

Or do you suggest anything better ?

Let us assume that for simplicity sake, we are developing for Kitkat and above.

1) yes. the best way is to guarantee you have access it until the completion of your upload (specially for example if you have a resume feature, where the upload could be interrupted and later on re-started), is to have a copy of it local to your own application. URI can disappear or not be available later on.

2) yes. see 1) use files, they are concrete and reliable.

edit:

as per your comments I realised that my answer was not very well explained. What I meant by "use a file" is to use context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri) to save a file locally to your own application using context.openFileOutput("temp_file", 0) or context.getFilesDir() and then you can use safely use this file.

All those methods on FileUtils to try to guess a path for the URI are flaky and have edge cases and will only give trouble.
