Cannot display some local files with a space in their name

See original GitHub issue

I’m loading images from the local storage using the following code:

if (file.exists() && ContentType.isImage(file)) {
    final String uri = Uri.fromFile(file).toString();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(uri, imageView);
}

This fails with the following exception:

/storage/emulated/0/.../ad%20(1).jpg: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/.../ad%20(1).jpg: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

// path manually truncated, due to length

It looks like the file name extracted from the URL does not decode the %20 to " ".

Hey, Just solved the issue. After getting uri using: Uri fileUri=Uri.fromfile(fileObject);

USE: setUrl(Uri.decode(fileUri));

Cheers!
