Open PDF File from Download Manager Located from Download

Question

I am using DownloadManager to download a file from FirebaseStorage.

First, I will get the downloadUrl from FirebaseStorage and proceed with DownloadManager

1. As you can see codes below, this is where after I got the downloadUrl as url.

downloadManager = getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
val uri = Uri.parse(url)
val request = DownloadManager.Request(uri)

val folderName = File.separator + "MBITION" + File.separator + fileName + fileExtension

name = folderName

Log.i("???", "url: $url")
Log.i("???", "folderName: $folderName")

request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED)
request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(
        Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,
        folderName
 )

 enq = downloadManager!!.enqueue(request)

Logcat below shows the url and folderName value.

I/???: url: https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/mbition-2022.appspot.com/o/note%2F-N2_fRAhJXVshDjQMcrz?alt=media&token=936e1014-6c7a-4f46-89fd-5746eb6a9dbf
I/???: folderName: /MBITION/ICT600 - Chapter 3.pdf

2. As you can see codes below, where onReceive from BroadcastReceiver is handled.

if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE == action) {
        val downloadId = it.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, 0)
        val query = DownloadManager.Query()
        query.setFilterById(downloadId)
        val c: Cursor = downloadManager!!.query(query)
        if (c.moveToFirst()) {
               val columnIndex: Int = c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_STATUS)
               if (DownloadManager.STATUS_SUCCESSFUL == c.getInt(columnIndex)) {

               val uriString: String = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI))
               val file = File(uriString)
               val target = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)

               Log.i("???", "uriString:: $uriString")
               Log.i("???", "file:: $file")

               val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                      this@NoteActivity,
                      "$packageName.provider",
                       file
               )

               target.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf")
               target.flags = Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION

               val intentChooser = Intent.createChooser(target, "Open File")
               try {
                    startActivity(intentChooser)
               } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
                    Tools.showToast(
                        this@NoteActivity,
                        "You need to download PDF reader"
                    )
                }
            }
         }
   }

Below shows the Logcat.

I/???: uriString:: file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/MBITION/ICT600%20-%20Chapter%203-5.pdf
I/???: file:: file:/storage/emulated/0/Download/MBITION/ICT600%20-%20Chapter%203-5.pdf

This is my provider_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="external_files"
        path="." />
</paths>

I tried to open the file through the DownloadManager's Notification. It is working fine.

Image below shows where the file is located inside the MBITION folder.

Below is the error I got from Logcat.

Updated:

Refer to @blackapps 's suggestion. I tried to remove file:// by using replace like below:

        val uriString: String = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI))
        val urlFixer = uriString.replace("file://","")

        val file = File(urlFixer)
        val target = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)

        Log.i("???", "uriString:: $uriString")
        Log.i("???", "file:: $file")
        Log.i("???", "urlFixer:: $urlFixer")
                        
        val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
               this@NoteActivity,
               "$packageName.provider",
               file
        )

Below is the Logcat

I/???: uriString:: file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/MBITION/ICT600%20-%20Chapter%203-9.pdf
I/???: file:: /storage/emulated/0/Download/MBITION/ICT600%20-%20Chapter%203-9.pdf
I/???: urlFixer:: /storage/emulated/0/Download/MBITION/ICT600%20-%20Chapter%203-9.pdf

When I pressed OK button, it proceed to PDF Reader, a few milisecond, it kick me back to the apps.

Answer 1

According to @blackapps answer is working. I fixed them by using replace.

val uriString: String = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_URI))
val urlFixer = uriString.replace("file://", "").replace("%20", " ")
                        
val file = File(urlFixer)
val target = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
