Android Question WhatsApp URI

[nicolino33]

Hello all, I'm not getting path of file or image from URI that I receive from whatsapp,
URI comes like this: content://com.whatsapp.provider.media/item/66381
Can anyone help me to get the image or file path from it? I tryed various method, but never resolve...

You dont need the path. You can use the given path and filename to access the file.
Hiding the code you are using is of no help for us to help you.

I need to retrive the extension of file!

 

[nicolino33]

this is the code:

  Private in As JavaObject = Activity.GetStartingIntent
  URI = in.RunMethod("getParcelableExtra", Array("android.intent.extra.STREAM"))

Maybe this information is included in the intent. Check Intent.ExtrasToString. If not then it is not available.

Hi Erel, thanks for you reply, I have already checked but there is not, I have to extract the information from the bytes of the files….
