File Not Found Exception when trying to upload fil

Question

In my android application, I am trying to attach a file by searching storage of my phone and then I am trying to upload it to server. I am able to search for files and attach them, while uploading it to server I am getting File not found exception. Please help me to get out of this issue, please let me know what am I missing. If there is a better way to do please do let me know.

FileUtils.java:

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;

import java.net.URISyntaxException;

/**
 * Created by iFocus on 6/16/2015.
 */
public class FileUtils {

    public static String getPath(Context context, Uri uri) throws URISyntaxException {
        if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
            String[] projection = { "_data" };
            Cursor cursor = null;

            try {
                cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
                int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("_data");
                if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                    return cursor.getString(column_index);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // Eat it
            }
        }
        else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
            return uri.getPath();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

My PHP Script:

<?php
// Where the file is going to be placed 
$target_path = "uploads/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.  
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
    chmod ("uploads/".basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']), 0644);
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
    echo "filename: " .  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
    echo "target_path: " .$target_path;
}
?>

I am able to get the selected file name and the same name I am passing to the upload file. I have all the required permissions in manifest. Please let me know my mistake. All suggestions are welcome. Please let me know if more details are required. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Recently I faced same issue. This is how i fixed.

Its all about permissions to that folder uploads. change to 777(make writable)
