In Android 7, getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(vCardUri, "r") returns AssetFileDescriptor having declaredLength as -1 returned by getDeclaredLength().
Trying to export the contacts as vcards into vcf file. The code I have tried is as follows
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
AssetFileDescriptor fd = resolver.openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = fd.createInputStream();
byte[] b = new byte[(int)fd.getDeclaredLength()];
fis.read(b);
The above code works perfectly in Android 6 or below.But when ran using Android 7, The line creating byte[] results in NegativeByteArraySizeException as the declaredLength is -1.
When I debugged downloading the sources of Android 7, I observed the problem.
Any kind of health would be really appreciable.
With the help of @pskink, I found the following solve my problem.
String lookupKey = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
Uri vCardUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor;
FileInputStream inputStream;
try {
assetFileDescriptor = getActivity().getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(vCardUri, "r");
if (assetFileDescriptor != null) {
inputStream = assetFileDescriptor.createInputStream();
return readAsByteArray(inputStream);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Vcard for the contact " + lookupKey + " not found", e);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Problem creating stream from the assetFileDescriptor.", e);
}
where the readAsByteArray() is written using the code from Mihai Snippet.
Thank you @pskink
In your code you are you are using the openAssestFileDescriptor instead use the openFileDescriptor because openAssestFileDescriptor is use to read a file in your asset folder not the file Uri

}
In Android Nougat :
byte[] b = new byte[(int)fd.getDeclaredLength()];
fd.getDeclaredLength() return -1.
Check my answer here link.
replace this
AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor = activity.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = assetFileDescriptor.createInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) assetFileDescriptor.getDeclaredLength()];
with this
AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor = activity.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = assetFileDescriptor.createInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[fis.available()];
