Currently the plugin requests file permissions on initialisation. This can be off-putting to the user if they are just sampling the app and are not using its file-related features.

Instead the plugin should request file permissions when it is executed for the first time, i.e. when resolveNativePath is called.

Hi, thanks for this plugin. It helped me to manage intent content:// url. It works well with Google Photos and Dropbox on Android, but I cannot make it work with Google Drive. Here what I receive with window.resolveLocalFileSystemUrl:

{
  "isFile": true,
  "isDirectory": false,
  "name": "enc=fhNPFErrgrEv9o4Q0EfWItmhwQRdSI8diNatIJQGsbDn8UOC\n",
  "fullPath": "/com.google.android.apps.docs.storage.legacy/enc=fhNPFErrgrEv9o4Q0EfWItmhwQRdSI8diNatIJQGsbDn8UOC\n",
  "filesystem": "<FileSystem: content>",
  "nativeURL": "content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage.legacy/enc%3DfhNPFErrgrEv9o4Q0EfWItmhwQRdSI8diNatIJQGsbDn8UOC%0A"
}

You can see the incoming content:// in nativeURL: content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage.legacy/enc%3DfhNPFErrgrEv9o4Q0EfWItmhwQRdSI8diNatIJQGsbDn8UOC%0A

I tried to find a resource about this com.google.android.apps.docs.storage.legacy/enc=<something> but without any success.

Here is what I received with your plugin resolveNativePath:

{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Unable to resolve filesystem path."

Hi,

I observed that the plugin is no longer actively maintained, but maybe it will be useful...

I'm trying to use the plugin on Android 7.1.2, but I get the following error:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/video/media from pid=6197, uid=10108 requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()

Is it because of the new way Android handles permission and the app should request permission at runtime?

ur connection and plugin name/version/URL.

This plugin asks for unneeded android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE which could prevent some users from downloading our app if we can't provide a reasonable explanation, looking into the plugin's code I don't see a need to WRITE to storage, as we only resolve the path here could you please @hiddentao elaborate?

Trying to upload image from ionic application via android/ios gallery. It's working perfectly fine on ios but throw error in android.
It always throw following error while resolving native path in this.filePath.resolveNativePath(imagePath) method:
{code: 0 ; message: "Unable to resolve filesystem path."}

Here is my code for uploading image:

var options = {
  quality: 60,
  targetWidth:900,
  sourceType: sourceType,
  saveToPhotoAlbum: false,
  correctOrientation: true
};
// Get the data of an image
this.camera.getPicture(options).then((imagePath) => {
  if (this.platform.is('android') && sourceType === this.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY) {
    console.log('image path',imagePath)
    this.filePath.resolveNativePath(imagePath)
      .then(res => {
        let correctPath = res.substr(0, res.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).toString();
        let currentName = imagePath.substring(imagePath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, imagePath.length).toString();
        this.copyFileToLocalDir(correctPath, currentName, this.createFileName());
      }).catch(err=>{
        console.log('unable to resolve file path issue', err)
      });
  } else {
    var currentName = imagePath.substr(imagePath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
    var correctPath = imagePath.substr(0, imagePath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
    console.log(currentName,correctPath)
    this.copyFileToLocalDir(correctPath, currentName, this.createFileName());
  }
}, (err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

I have even tried using following code but no success:

window.FilePath.resolveNativePath(imagePath)
      .then(res => {
        let correctPath = res.substr(0, res.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).toString();
        let currentName = imagePath.substring(imagePath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, imagePath.length).toString();
        this.copyFileToLocalDir(correctPath, currentName, this.createFileName());
      }).catch(err=>{
        console.log('unable to resolve file path issue', err)
      });

Hello can anyone tell me the solution , I am getting FileNotFoundException in below code
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
^

Hello,

We found some error in FilePath.java
It's not a big mistake, but I think it's good to modify it. I do not know why our project has a problem to understand it. We are seeing why.
The error is on line 340 .: return uri.getPath (). ReplaceFirst ("^ / document / raw:", "") .replaceFirst ("^ raw:", "") ;;
We find two ';' followed. And our project says it's a mistake.

Thank you

Bea

I've just noticed something strange about picking files with the "file chooser" that this launches on Android 8..

in this scenario, I'm trying to import a JSON file that I've downloaded, so naturally it's currently sitting in my device's "Download" folder. when the file chooser opens, by default the left sidebar has the usual source options like "Images", "Videos", "Audio" and "Recent". after this it shows "Downloads" and "Documents" before listing other apps that can be used to choose a file.

if I close this sidebar and open the kebab menu in the top right corner, I have an option to "Show internal storage". after this, I now see another option below "Documents" that lists my device's name, providing access to my device internal storage. in this route, I simply open the "Download" folder and I see the exact same files as the "Downloads" shortcut in the sidebar.

this is where things get interesting... I put some console.log calls at key points to see what was going on, thereby ending up with the following code:

this.fileChooser.open().then((uri) => {
  console.log(`fileChooser.open() result: "${uri}"`);
  return this.filePath.resolveNativePath(uri).then((fileEntry) => {
    console.log(`filePath.resolveNativePath(uri) result: "${fileEntry}"`);
    let path = fileEntry.substring(0, fileEntry.lastIndexOf("/"));
    let file = fileEntry.substring(fileEntry.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, fileEntry.length);
    console.log(`about to call readAsText() with: "${path}" "${file}`);
    return this.file.readAsText(path, file).then((content) => { ... });
  });
}).

as for the different ways of choosing the file, this is what I discovered:

when selected via "Downloads" sidebar shortcut:

• fileChooser.open() result: "content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2Fcustom-folder%2Fmy-custom-file.json"
• filePath.resolveNativePath(uri) result: "file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/my-custom-file.json"
• about to call readAsText() with: "file:///storage/emulated/0/Download" "my-custom-file.json

when selected via "browse internal storage":

• fileChooser.open() result: "content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2Fcustom-folder%2Fmy-custom-file.json"
• filePath.resolveNativePath(uri) result: "file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/custom-folder/my-custom-file.json"
• about to call readAsText() with: "file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/custom-folder" "my-custom-file.json

from what I can see, the path is fine up to the point that I use cordova-plugin-filepath to resolveNativePath().. so is this a bug in this plugin or am I simply misunderstanding something here?

I'm trying to get the path of a download from Chrome, and it's not handled by this plugin:

content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/downloads/advent.ulx

Now I know this plugin is not being heavily developed at present. If anyone is aware of an alternative plugin that would handle it, that would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: for my use case, the path is not fully necessary, as long as I can get the data from it.

content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/0E49-D59B%3A.android_secure

java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve filesystem path for content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/0E49-D59B%3A.android_secure

Any idea of what happen when trying to solve a path from a SD Memory ?

Trying to get file path for a downloaded document I get an error:

Unknown URI: content://downloads/public_downloads/12627

Content URI provided was:
content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/12627

It seems that files downloaded using Chrome or Gmail are stored this way. Am I missing something? Taking a look at your code it seems that since Android 8 (which I'm running on) you expect something that contains raw inside the content URI. But in my case it's lacking the raw part?

Hey everyone, I haven't done Cordova development for a while now and don't planning on getting back to it any time soon. But this plugin still seems to be useful to people, so am happy for anyone to step up and take over as the project maintainer. At present @tanasebutcaru is the only co-contributor on this project.

@tanasebutcaru Would you like to take over this project and keep it up-to-date for people?

I'm trying to get the file path from an URI returned by the cordova contacts plugin using the resolveNativePath from filepath plugin.

contactsImageURI = contact.photo[0].value;
contactsImageURI = content://com.android.contacts/contacts/XXXX/photo;
this.filePath.resolveNativePath((contactsImageURI)).then(()=> {
console.log('success');
}).catch((error: any)) => {
console.log(error);
});
// output Invalid column _data

can anyone help me out

I am fetching a file from GDrive and passed file path to filePath and using resolveNativePath function below line of code
window.FilePath.resolveNativePath(filePath, successCallback, errorCallback);
Now i am getting Error Unable to resolve filesystem path with Code 0 .
why this error come only in GDrive but not in Dropbox or local file system.

I got the below error in the play store crash report. In any block we can't able to find the solution and root cause of this issue.

Mainly this is occurred for Motorola and Huawei devices.

window.FilePath.resolveNativePath(uripath, function(filePath){
alert("Success : " + filePath);

Please update the android version in the package.json to support a wider variety of android versions.

This plugin conflicts with both the firebase and admob plugins, causing this error:

This is not something which can be resolved when using cordova, as it generates AndroidManifest.xml automatically.

Specifically, cordova-plugin-filepath causes a problem when I try to use it with cordova-admob.

Go here https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-admob and try creating an admob-enabled dummy app, then try to add your cordova-plugin-filepath plugin to it and try to build. You can easily reproduce the error that way. Or, try cordova-plugin-filepath with the firebase plugin.

Basically, cordova-plugin-filepath needs to not be so anal with regard to the Android version, because it's rendering itself pretty much useless by doing so.

Please fix right away, and notify me when it's fixed. I'm trying to complete a project, and this is holding me up.

I keep getting a column __data doesn't exist error when sharing from whatsapp to my app.
It only works on gallery and only on certain images.
My phone is Android 7.0
This does work on Android 6.0

Everything was working fine since suddenly today I got this 2 warnings. I will add them below.
I tried:
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-filepath
npm install @ionic-native/file-path

I added FilePath to app.module.ts inside providers.

But still it shows the plugin not installed.

1.Native: tried calling FilePath.resolveNativePath, but the FilePath plugin is not installed.
2.Install the FilePath plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-filepath'

And then the error: plugin_not_installed.

i use cordova-plugin-filechooser(1.2.0) choose file, then use this plugin (1.6.0) convert the content uri to native "file://" like uri, but i got this err:
E/PluginManager: Uncaught exception from plugin java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "raw:/storage/emulated/0/Download/Browser/libusb-1.0.24.7z" at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java:594) at java.lang.Long.valueOf(Long.java:808) at com.hiddentao.cordova.filepath.FilePath.getPath(FilePath.java:370) at com.hiddentao.cordova.filepath.FilePath.resolveNativePath(FilePath.java:103) at com.hiddentao.cordova.filepath.FilePath.execute(FilePath.java:75) at org.apache.cordova.CordovaPlugin.execute(CordovaPlugin.java:98) at org.apache.cordova.PluginManager.exec(PluginManager.java:132) at com.getcapacitor.MessageHandler.callCordovaPluginMethod(MessageHandler.java:107) at com.getcapacitor.MessageHandler.postMessage(MessageHandler.java:51) at android.os.MessageQueue.nativePollOnce(Native Method) at android.os.MessageQueue.next(MessageQueue.java:336) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:184) at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:67)

it seems like the plugin was crashed.
the original content uri is "content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2FBrowser%2Flibusb-1.0.24.7z"

Hi!
I am using the plugin within a Ionic 3.x App. We use the plugin cordova-plugin-filechooser to pick a file on Android - then transform the URI with cordova-plugin-filepath.
Everything works fine except when picking a file from Dropbox.

The FilePicker return the following content-URI:

content://com.dropbox.android.FileCache/filecache/dcded03a-37ed-4bbb-8a88-a8492b4e3ee6

The Filepath Plugin then throws error:

main.js:3888 column '_data' does not exist. Available columns: []

Tests are run on Samsung S9 / Android 9.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
Oli

Error: when I install file path native plugin, How to fix this error?????????

Different plugins may use different framework versions and sometimes devs need to align them manually. One easy way is to allow to configure framework version via additional plugin variable. Like in phonegap-plugin-push - https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/plugin.xml#L47

Would be good to add similar variables for android support framework. Currently it shows exception:

Hi there, i use ionic 2, trying remove and add platform, remove and add plugin, but i seen that err

iOS 10.2.

OS: OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v6.9.1
Xcode version: Xcode 8.2.1 Build version 8C1002

When building a cross-platform app that includes your plug-in, the call to the bridge function fails because there is no implementation for targets other than android and yet the javascript FilePath method exists and exposes a FilePath.resolveLocalFilePath() method.

I got this error after providing the uri from file chooser.

Reading com.android.provider.media.MediaProvider uri:content//media/external/images/media from pid=4081, uid:10076 require android .permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grandUriPermission.

Anyone has the same issue?
I use android 23 on Nexus 5x.

Hello,
I'm sharing file from other apps to my cordova app.
When I share from explorer app, i've got the file uri such as :
file:///sdcard/Audio/SoundRecorder/2019-03-04%2019-36-03.aac

but when I share from 3rd party app (whatsapp in my example), I don't receive a file uri :
content://com.whatsapp.provider.media/item/100492 and then i got “column ‘_data’ does not exist”

    this.filePath.resolveNativePath(receivedFile).then((rslt) => {
          console.log('reslt');
        }).catch((error) => { console.log("error", error) }); //error column '_data' does not exist

I am building ionic2 app via ionic cloud service and build fails because of this error:
Error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova-plugin-filePath

I was checking the url with browser and I am getting an empty object there
{}

I was checking other npm packages and they are all returning content.

I have no idea what can cause this problem... could you contact npmjs.org in the name of code author that what can be wrong? Thanks

Hi,

I'm getting following wrong path when trying to resolve path from OneDrive:
Content URI that is being passed:
content://com.microsoft.skydrive.content.external/Drive/ID/1/Item/RID/9E862D5A44C3B91C%2148853/Stream/1/Property/TestDocument.pdf
and FilePath.resolveNativePath method returns:
file://TestDocument.pdf

Another example, with following path:
content://com.microsoft.skydrive.content.external/Drive/ID/1/Item/RID/9E862D5A44C3B91C%2143165/Stream/1/Property/MY%20APPLICATION636144021910962040.jpg
Plugin returns file://MY APPLICATION636144021910962040.jpg

Tested on Device:
Google Pixel 3 running on Android 10
Samsung Note 10+ running on Android 9
Samsung s7 edge running on Android 8

Getting this uri from one drive =>content://com.microsoft.skydrive.content.StorageAccessProvider/document/content%3A%2F%2Fcom.microsoft.skydrive.content.metadata%2FDrive%2FID%2F1%2FItem%2FID%2F22%2FProperty%2F%3FRefreshOption%3DAutoRefresh%26RefreshTimeOut%3D15000

FROM ES Explorer =>content://com.estrongs.files/storage/emulated/0/drive-download-20181228T073012Z-001/15397290795bc666b738e89_LoudermilkScope.pdf

from ES file explorer the here is two way file way and normal way for uploading file the normal way is not working
Getting error code:1000

getting this is error callback not proper error code or message,

For input string: "raw:/storage/emulated/0/Download/newFiles.pdf"

At least it should return error object so it will easy to debug. Not getting any clue what is happening here.

It is happening only for pdf & docs files

Here i want native file path to find original file name.

Ionic: 4
@ionic-native/[email protected]
[email protected]

Please any one can help me out.

Note: i am checking this on android emulator not on android device..

`import { FilePath } from '@ionic-native/file-path/ngx';
import { FileChooser } from '@ionic-native/file-chooser/ngx';

this.fileChooser.open().then(fileUri => {
this.filePath.resolveNativePath(fileUri).then(resolvedNativePath => {
}).catch(err=> {
console.log(err); -> it getting 'uri'
})
})`

I'm encountering the following error too: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-build-error-after-installing-plugin/132820/4

Could be fixed?

This crash happens only for Android 11 and Pixel devices.

Bug Report

Problem

When you take pdf anyother file from download you get URI with content://. So in order to resolve i use this package to get file URI path https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-filepath

What is expected to happen?

It should resolve and return file detail

What does actually happen?

It returns error code: 1 // not found
