Picking up an audio file android

Question

I need to fetch an audio file from SD Card and play it. I think this can be done by getting URI of an audio file. So, to pick an audio file I'm using following code:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("audio/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Audio "), reqCode);

Now, I can browse for audio files and select one of them.

QUESTION: How to read the URI of picked file in my onActivityResult?

Answer 1

You can put below codes in your project when you want to select audio.

Intent intent_upload = new Intent(); intent_upload.setType("audio/*"); intent_upload.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(intent_upload,1); 

And override onActivityResult in the same Activity, as below

@Override  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode,Intent data){    if(requestCode == 1){      if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){          //the selected audio.         Uri uri = data.getData();      }   }   super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); }

 first of all open gallery through intent -   public void openGalleryForAudio() {         Intent videoIntent = new Intent(                 Intent.ACTION_PICK,                 android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);         startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(videoIntent, "Select Audio"), AUDIO_REQUEST); }   Then onActivityResult you should catch data -  if (requestCode == AUDIO_REQUEST && null != data) {                 if (requestCode == AUDIO_REQUEST) {                      Uri uri = data.getData();                     try {                         String uriString = uri.toString();                         File myFile = new File(uriString);                         //    String path = myFile.getAbsolutePath();                         String displayName = null;                         String path2 = getAudioPath(uri);                         File f = new File(path2);                         long fileSizeInBytes = f.length();                         long fileSizeInKB = fileSizeInBytes / 1024;                         long fileSizeInMB = fileSizeInKB / 1024;                         if (fileSizeInMB > 8) {                             customAlterDialog("Can't Upload ", "sorry file size is large");                         } else {                             profilePicUrl = path2;                             isPicSelect = true;                         }                     } catch (Exception e) {                         //handle exception                         Toast.makeText(GroupDetailsActivity.this, "Unable to process,try again", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();                     }                     //   String path1 = uri.getPath();                  }             }   This function is use for absolute path of audio file  private String getAudioPath(Uri uri) {         String[] data = {MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA};         CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(getApplicationContext(), uri, data, null, null, null);         Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground();         int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);         cursor.moveToFirst();         return cursor.getString(column_index);     }

No need to add type here like audio/*. It will crash to search such type of action. Try this. It worked for me.

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
        startActivityForResult(intent, AUDIO_REQUEST_CODE)
