Thankyou, I used the image content provider first which loaded a
question mark as a picture but proved unstable.
I finally found the function I was looking for in case anyone else has
the same problem, although I have to warn you it does the exact thing
Google was trying to prevent. (Gives the browser access to the file
system again which can have security implications.)
public android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor openFile(android.net.Uri
uri, java.lang.String mode) throws java.io.FileNotFoundException{
ParcelFileDescriptor parcel;
Log.v(TAG, "file requested ["+uri.toString()+"]");
String root_uri = NotePad.CONTENT_URI.toString();
String root_folder = "file:///data/data/
com.example.android.notepad/files";
String request_uri = uri.toString().substring(root_uri.length());
String request_file = root_folder.concat(request_uri);
Log.v(TAG, request_file);
URI uri2 = URI.create(request_file);
File file = new File(uri2);
Log.v(TAG, "LENGTH "+file.length());
parcel = ParcelFileDescriptor.open(file,
ParcelFileDescriptor.MODE_READ_ONLY);
return parcel;
}
I overlooked "public ParcelFileDescriptor openFile" while searching
before in the content provider api, and still couldn't find
tutorials.. but the above code should serve any files within the apps
files folder to the browser the rest of the code for the
contentProvider doesn't seem necessary when surving files which is a
little confusing.
