Converting of Uri to String

Question

Is it possible to convert an Uri to String and vice versa? Because I want to get the the Uri converted into String to pass into another activity via intent.putextra() and if it's not possible can anyone suggest me a way how to pass selected Uri into another activity?

Solution 1

Uri to String

Uri uri;
String stringUri;
stringUri = uri.toString();

String to Uri

Uri uri;
String stringUri;
uri = Uri.parse(stringUri);

Solution 2

Uri is serializable, so you can save strings and convert it back when loading

when saving

String str = myUri.toString();

and when loading

Uri myUri = Uri.parse(str);

Solution 3

using Android KTX library u can parse easily

val uri = myUriString.toUri()

Solution 4

STRING TO URI.

Uri uri=Uri.parse("YourString");

URI TO STRING

Uri uri;
String andro=uri.toString();

happy coding :)

Solution 5

If you want to pass a Uri to another activity, try the method intent.setData(Uri uri) https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#setData(android.net.Uri)

In another activity, via intent.getData() to obtain the Uri.
