Android Java : How To Open A Downloaded File Using FileProvider In Another App

I have the following setup, but when opening the file in third party app, the file is not being found. After downloading a file(In bytes), I store it. public File storeFile(byte[]

Solution 1:

File        imagePath  = File(getFilesDir(), "downloads");

That is a completely different directory as used in

 File       f    = new File(A.getDir(path, Context.MODE_PRIVATE), "downloads");

Just compare imagePath.getAbsolutePath() and f.getAbsolutePath();

You better do not construct the same path or File instance twice but use one variable instead.

UPDATE.

I now see that your code is even a bigger mess.

Uri  uri               = Uri.fromFile(storeFile(bytes, ref));
Uri         newUri     = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.do.app.fileprovider", file);

You are not using uri or newUri at all but instead contentUri. And why two/three uries? Change to one.

Uri uri  = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context
        , "com.do.app.fileprovider"
        , storeFile(bytes, ref));

And then put that uri with setDataAndType()in the used intent.
