it looks like the file does not exist

what are the results of:

Log( File.Exists( Dir, FileName))
Log( Dir)
Log( Dir1)
Log( FileName)

are the datas valid?

Thanks Knoppi for the response.

dir ContentDir
dir1 /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/newkot.com/files
filename content://media/external/images/media/34873
filename content://media/external/images/media/34873

Sub chooser_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir AsString, FileName AsString)if Success then
Dim Dir1 AsString = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
Dim bg AsBitmap = LoadBitmapResize(Dir, FileName, Activity.Width, Activity.Height ,True)
 

File.Copy(Dir,FileName,Dir1, FileName) ------ this line is throwing the error  

changed the above as    File.Copy(Dir,FileName,Dir1, "123") works well.

now the problem is to find out the selected file extension and concotinate to "123" file as extn. Exploring...

your FileName looks like a fullpathFilename if you use it with Dir1 then FileCopy concatinate
Dir1 & FileName = /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/newkot.com/files/content://media/external/images/media/34873 and this is
throwing an error

Don't assume that the resource you receive is coming from a real file. The FileName is a temporary URI to the remote resource.

This code will return the path to the actual file if there is one: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-returned-from-contentchooser.39313/#content

Expect it to fail in some cases.

of course it will throw error. we can use the dir1 path and should give a new file name as target. ( i gave "123"). I further found that the new file can be without extension and the code

    Dim Dir1 As String = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
     
    Dim bg As Bitmap = LoadBitmapResize(Dir1, "123", Activity.Width, Activity.Height ,True)

works fine.
