Android Question Copy File from URI

[mauro vicamini]

Hello Everyone,
I've an application that recives from other applications, that modify PDF file, an URI of the PDF modified.

I get the uri in this way

    If IsRelevantIntent(Activity.GetStartingIntent) Then
        Dim in As JavaObject = Activity.GetStartingIntent
        Dim uri As String = in.RunMethod("getParcelableExtra", Array("android.intent.extra.STREAM"))

I get an URI like:

"file:///storage/3363-6433/Android/data/com.edatalia.signply/files/TER_772_201803021131.pdf"

or

"content://com.adobe.fas.Util.PDFContentProvider/cached_files/TER_772_201803021131.pdf"

dependig of which application I use to modify the PDF.

I'd like to get the file of the URI and copy it in another folder, but with the same file name.

How could I achive it?

Thank a lot for the attention.

You can check whether the URI ends with .pdf and parse the last section, though there is no guarantee that the URI includes the file name.
