How to convert a String to an android.net.Uri
19,820
I guess you want to use the parse
method from the android.net.uri
class. It returns a URi for the supplied encoded string.

Question: I have found that
java.net.URI
has a create(String uri) option but theandroid.net.uri
does not.More specifically: I am trying to grab the output of RingtoneManager's
RingtonePicker
and set it as the default ringtone withSetActualDefaultRingtoneUri
:Intent intent = new Intent(RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER); intent.putExtra( RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TYPE ,RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE); intent.putExtra( RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TITLE , "Select Tone For Rainy Days"); startActivityForResult(intent, 0); RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this ,RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE ,RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI);
The problem is that
RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI
returns a string not a URI. There might be a better way than to convert the string to a URI. I cannot find a reason why java.net.URI can do it and android.net.Uri can't.Any suggestions would be appreciated!
