I want to get from an Android Uri (of the kind returned by
onActivityResult) to a simple byte array, in order to upload a file as
part of a multipart message. Can anyone provide an example of how to
get from a Uri to a byte[] array?
Edit: I mean the android.net.Uri
Uri
After putting together some SO examples and google group codes, i'm able to acheive it by this code:
Uri data = result.getData();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
FileInputStream fis;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(new File(data.getPath()));
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int n;
while (-1 != (n = fis.read(buf)))
baos.write(buf, 0, n);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] bbytes = baos.toByteArray();`
