How Can I Get The Audio File That The User Picks

I would want to get a handle to the actual audio file that i pick. For selecting the audio file, i have an intent that looks like this : Intent audioIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTI

Solution 1:

IntentgalleryIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, AUDIO_GALLERY_REQUEST_CODE);

if (requestCode == AUDIO_GALLERY_REQUEST_CODE) {
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        try {
          Stringpath= _getRealPathFromURI(context, intent.getData());
          Fileaudio=newFile(path);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

private String _getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA };
    CursorLoaderloader=newCursorLoader(context, contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
    Cursorcursor= loader.loadInBackground();
    intcolumn_index= cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

Solution 2:

There should be a similar method for android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, it has a getContentUri(String) that returns a Uri object. See if that helps.
