Xamarin.Plugin.FilePicker - content:/com.android.providers.downloads.documents Problem

Question

I am using Xamarin.Plugin.FilePicker (version is: 2.1.41). It gives me like this path in android 10 devices: content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/3025 or content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf:14

I am trying to get real file path with this way:

public class StorageFolderPath : IStorageFolderPath
{
    public string SDCardPath(string path)
    {
        Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(path);
            bool isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= Android.OS.BuildVersionCodes.Kitkat;

        if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.IsDocumentUri(MainActivity.MainContext, uri))
        {
            if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri))
            {
                //...
            }
            else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri))
            {
                string id = DocumentsContract.GetDocumentId(uri);
                Android.Net.Uri contentUri = ContentUris.WithAppendedId(
                                        Android.Net.Uri.Parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), ContentUris.ParseId(uri));
                return getDataColumn(MainActivity.MainContext, contentUri, null, null);
            }
            //...
        }
    }

    public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Android.Net.Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
        {
            ICursor cursor = null;
            String column = "_data";
            String[] projection =
            {
                column
            };

            try
            {
                cursor = context.ContentResolver.Query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
                if (cursor != null && cursor.MoveToFirst())
                {
                    int index = cursor.GetColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
                    return cursor.GetString(index);
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                if (cursor != null)
                    cursor.Close();
            }
            return null;
        }

    public static bool isDownloadsDocument(Android.Net.Uri uri)
        {
            return "com.android.providers.downloads.documents".Equals(uri.Authority);
        }

    public bool DownloadsDocumentControl(string path)
        {
            Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(path);
            return isDownloadsDocument(uri);
        }
}

Shared Codes:

public async Task UploadFileAsync(UploadRequest upload_request)
{
    string newPath = "";
    if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android && 
       (DependencyService.Get<IStorageFolderPath>().ExternalStorageDocumentControl(upload_request.Properties.FilePath) ||
       DependencyService.Get<IStorageFolderPath>().DownloadsDocumentControl(upload_request.Properties.FilePath)))
        newPath = DependencyService.Get<IStorageFolderPath>().SDCardPath(upload_request.Properties.FilePath);
    else
        newPath = upload_request.Properties.FilePath;

    Stream stream = File.OpenRead(newPath);
    //...
}

When I do this: If path is content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf:14, app throws this error:

{Java.Lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "msf:14"

    at android.content.ContentUris.parseId(ContentUris.java:89)
}

(App crashes in this line: (on ContentUris.ParseId(uri))

Android.Net.Uri contentUri = ContentUris.WithAppendedId(
                                        Android.Net.Uri.Parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), ContentUris.ParseId(uri));)

If path is content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/3025 , app throws this error:

NOTE:

I added to manifest file:

<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">
</application>

What must I do on Android 10 devices for this problem? (I don't encounter with this problem on all android 10 devices. I encounter on Samsung Galaxy S10 - emulator, Huawei P20 Lite - real phone or Galaxy S20 - real phone)

Answer 1

What the blackapps said is true. Already FilePicker plugin has notified that is possible. But I see it now.

Getting actual path from content scheme is not true way and it is not possible. That's why I have to write if condition on my code like that:

Stream stream = null;
if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android && DependencyService.Get<IStorageFolderPath>().DownloadsDocumentControl(newPath))
     stream = DependencyService.Get<IStorageFolderPath>().GetFileFromUri(newPath);
else
     stream = File.OpenRead(newPath);

public Stream GetFileFromUri(string path)
{
     Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(path);
     var stream = MainActivity.MainContext.ContentResolver.OpenInputStream(uri);
     return stream;
}
