Treat data of a XML file using FileProvider

I want to read an XML file stored in downloads using the Android app I am developing.

I want to use File Provider to search for it but once I find it, I want to know the real path of that XML file in order to parse it and treat it.

How can I make this? I've tried many things but nothing works for me.

Solution

  • You have to use the URI provided by the file provider 

    InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

    and pass the input string using xml parser library
