ANDROID Google drive file uri upload to firebase

Hi everyone. I like your library thanks for that but on Android I have a problem for uploading the document picker res.uri to firebase storage.

Document picker return to me this kind of URI and I don’t know how to access the path to upload the file to Firebase storage.

content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D1%3Bdoc%3Dencoded%3DyKmSCMqeCKVTPyqzPBQwP9s3jDoaWmxNZFg0XpXjHOqhWlxe8%2F1LMqI6

Firebase won’t accept this kind of URI it return to me an unknown error.

If I pick a document from the internal phone It works as excepted.

Everything work as expected on IOS and also for Google Drive content.

How to get a correct uri to send it to firebase ?

I saw some post issue on your github but honestly I am french and don’t understand all the stuff.

If someone can help me 😃

Thanks

Document providers work with URIs, not file paths so you cannot get the file path.

If you want to upload it should be possible to use fetch(content://…).then(res => res.blob()) to get a Blob instance with the contents of the file. Blobs can be used as post content in XHR/fetch and in FormData to do multipart form uploads.
