How To Load A File Into A Stream On Android Knowing Its Jnet - Uri - Stack Overflow

The question asks how to load a file into a stream in an Android FMX app using Delphi, given the file's URI. The URI is obtained from selecting a photo from the gallery. Simply converting the URI to a path does not work, as the path is invalid for loading from. The answer provides a solution to use a JInputStream to read the data from the URI and load it into a TMemoryStream for further processing.

4 How to load a file into a stream on Android knowing its Jnet_Uri?


android
delphi
uri
firemonkey
delphi-10.3-rio

I'm writing an Android FMX app in Delphi 10.3 Rio. There I'm selecting photos from the gallery (via
TJIntent.JavaClass.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT ) and getting back Jnet_Uri entries. I can use those to read
image EXIF (with TJExifInterface). Now I also need to load these images into a stream for further
processing. How do I do this?

When I try to convert Jnet_Uri to a path with uri.getPath , it comes out like /document/image:26591 .
uri.toString gives me
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A26674 .
TMemoryStream.LoadFromFile fails to load from both of these paths:

Cannot open file "/document/image:26724". No such file or directory

Cannot open file "/content:/com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A26724".


Not a directory

Hence the question, how knowing a Jnet_Uri do I load files contents into a stream?

I was able to read the data via JInputStream:


4

var

uri: Jnet_Uri;

ms: TMemoryStream;

jis: JInputStream;

b: TJavaArray<Byte>;

begin
uri := .. some uri, alike "/document/image:26591"

ms := TMemoryStream.Create;

// Need to read via JInputStream, since Uri is not a file

jis := TAndroidHelper.Context.getContentResolver.openInputStream(uri);

b := TJavaArray<Byte>.Create(jis.available);

jis.read(b);

ms.Write(b.Data^, b.Length);

jis.close;

@dedo ms is a typical stream that can be used in common Delphi way. What gives you problems?
