package de.cowabuja.androiduriaccess;  import android.content.intent; import android.net.uri; import android.support.v7.app.appcompatactivity; import android.os.bundle;  public class mainactivity extends appcompatactivity {      @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);          string uristring = "content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3adcim%2fany%2dir%2fthefile.txt";         uri uri = uri.parse(uristring);          getapplicationcontext().granturipermission(getpackagename(), uri, intent.flag_grant_read_uri_permission);     } } 

here log:

i try call granturipermission because try solve exception did before:

java.lang.securityexception: permission denial: reading de.cowabuja.androidaccess uri   content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3adcim%2fany%2dir%2fthefile.txt pid=1399, uid=10350 requires android.permission.manage_documents, or granturipermission()

you cannot assemble uri third-party provider , expect work. provider has not granted permission work content. @ most, previously gave temporary access content, rights died when process died.

either:

• move file 1 of locations have filesystem access on removable storage: getexternalfilesdirs(), getexternalcachedirs(), , getexternalmediadirs(). if methods (on context) return 2+ entries, second , subsequent ones directories on removable storage can use. can use normal java file i/o (e.g., file, fileinputstream).

• use the storage access framework ask user choose file work with. user may elect choose 1 on removable storage, or not, user's device , user's files. use uri contentresolver, via methods openinputstream().
