Hi, I got two problems that both seem to be connected to file://...
Problem 1: for the past days I have been trying to attach a video to an email...but the application always tells me "Sorry, you cannot add this video to your email" when I try this: Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://" + videocursor.getString(0)); or this: Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(videocursor.getString(0))); I get an I/O Exception Error that the file sdcard/Video1.mp4 wasn't found, so it seems the file:// isn't passed on at all...when test if file:// is actually created it is always existing... when I only try to pass on the file as a String I get a Logcat output that android.intent.extra.STREAM expected Parcelable but value was a java.io.File. The default value <null> was returned. Problem 2: Another thing I tried but couldn't get working was to delete a video from the SD card. I created the delete demand within an AlertDialog and again file:// doesn't seem to have any effect... AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete?") .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { //EditGalleryView.this.finish(); File file = new File(videocursor.getString(0)); deleted = file.delete(); Toast.makeText(EditGalleryView.this, "You just deleted " +Uri.fromFile(file), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); Log.d("delete", Uri.fromFile(file).toString()); } }) I really have no idea what to do anymore...please help me Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
