Getting File From Device On Android, Keeps Stating File Not Found When Trying To Use It

I have an Android app where I am allowing the user to pick a file from the file system, I then get the path and set the path to an EditText and then use this path to open the file

Solution 1:

To use the file I do the following:

getPath() only has meaning on a Uri if the scheme is file. Your scheme is content.

Replace:

Filefile=newFile(txtPublicKeyPath.getText().toString());
            FileInputStreamfis=newFileInputStream(file);

with:

InputStreamfis= getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

As a bonus, the replacement works for both file and content schemes.
