I was expecting that Gibberbot would open an input stream rather than query the content provider and treat it as a file.
InputStream instream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

#1 Updated by vanevery over 4 years ago

Actually, it seems that this probably isn't a crucial call and you can test for moveToFirst() and return null if not.

#2 Updated by devrandom over 4 years ago

We do need to know the file size later on, so have to be able to stat the file. Do you know why the content resolver is failing?

#3 Updated by vanevery over 4 years ago

The file is stored in a secure storage and not available on the file system as a regular file that you can access.

#4 Updated by vanevery over 4 years ago

The content provider only implements opening the input stream. None of the query methods are implemented and will return null.

#5 Updated by devrandom over 4 years ago

I can change the CS code to deal with the stream, but will need seeking. Can your side provide that? Also, we definitely need the size and mime type to be able to chunk the file and dispatch the result on the receiving side.

How do you want to handle these (seeking, chunking, mime type)? Is that something that the content provider can be upgraded to handle?

#6 Updated by vanevery over 4 years ago

I'll supply a file:// content provider for now.
