Apps Copy Result of ACTION_GET_CONTENT to App Filedir

Recently I wanted to allow the user to pick a file and for internal reasons I have to copy it in to the Apps Directory (getFilesDir()). I let the User Pick any File with the Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT and the Type "*/*" so that the user really can pick anything.

From my Intent I mostly get a Uri around the lines of content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document... and I copy these pretty easily like this:

Everything works wonderful if I get the scheme I said, but if I'm unlucky I get something along the lines content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:15199 or any other android.providers.
Since these are obviously not a real file, because they don't have any filetype, I'm at a loss how to copy them. I have found a Function (https://www.dev2qa.com/how-to-get-real-file-path-from-android-uri/) that gives me the real Path, but every time I try to copy with that Path I get a Permission Denied Error, even though I ask for write and read external Storage permissions and the user allows them to me. So how would it be better to copy the files?

HELP Forgot to factory reset before sending in to Asurion

I recently dropped my Samsung phone and damaged the screen to the point I sent it to Asurion for a replacement. The phone turned on, but the screen stayed black. Call it ignorance, but I didn't realize it would be wise to factory reset the device before sending it in. I also didn't have a pass code to unlock the screen.

I already received my new device, but I am worried about all the personal information, passwords, photos, etc. that would be accessible on the old device.

I read about wiping the device using the Android Device Manager, but I would assume it is too late for that since I already have my new device.

How might Asurion wipe the phone if the screen is not functioning.

Does anybody have any words of advice?

repinning a note

Help Android files app keeps stopping and phone is slowly gaining storage space

So, I was trying to do some editing with an app. I've used the app before, but uninstalled it for storage space. I got it back but haven't used it. When I tried to access my storage there to retrieve pictures, it crashed. I thought it was no biggie, so I tried again. Still crashed. Then I decided to open the Files app itself. (Keep in mind its the files app that comes bundled with android by default.) It still crashes. I tried restarting, force stop ,uninstalling the app I used to edit, resetting app permissions, clearing cache, and even clearing data. Nothing worked. Youtube, Google, and even Bing said the same things I had done. During this time I also noticed my storage went from 50% to 49%. At first I was kind of happy, since I like saving as much space as I can, but I was still concerned, so last night I memorized my gb count (35.20gb) before going to bed. Next morning, my storage was 45%. Now I'm getting seriously concerned. Please help!! Idk what's going on! Am I hacked? Is my Files app giving false readings? Is the Files app corrupted?

64 gig max. Could you. Would you. Should I?

Cracking Xiaomi UK 24 hour deal.
7 hours to go.
Mi 10 Lite 5G @ £194.

It's the 6/ 64gb version. No SD expansion.

128gb version has been down to around 240 / 250 but currently 299 - 349 on Mi.com or Amazon.

5 other models on special sale over the next 5 days (iirc) but the 128gb Mi 10 Lite will not be one.

I'm very tempted - by this evening.

SD 765G. Good Amoled display. Great battery life. HP jack. Hi Res basic audio.

I don't download movies or shoot much video, my apps and music and 21gb of initial system space still leaves enough. OTG capable. Due the latest MIUI 12 or whatever. Out only 5 months? Bloatware and ads are more controllable than Realme apparently. Even Settings let's you turn ad stuff off or uninstall.

Amoled and 765G. Yummie.

I can't go too much wrong. While I have temporary work I can't lose much if the lack of storage gets too frustrating.

I really wanted the Galaxy Note 10 Lite to be restocked at the £369 a store chain were giving them out for.

This was my number 2 choice. Its competitors are from £100 more and this tested very well.

Dissuade me somebody! :thinking:

Google app update

Hello,

I've recently updated my app, but got an error message when I tried to re-upload it to Google Play Store.

Google "reset" my upload key and gave me certificate fingerprints (MD5 and SHA1). These fingerprints matched the details that I see in KeyStore Explorer.

BUT the fingerprints in the CERT.RSA file from the META-INF folder of my updated apk are different, so I can't re-upload my app. Google say I'm not using the correct key.

What am I doing wrong? Been trying to figure this out for 3 days and now am just confused :(

Thank you for any help anyone can give. (My app was created with Cordova 10.0.0.)

How to Delete an Obsolete Email from a Contact

Honestly, this shouldn't be this frigging difficult. All I want to do is to update the email address for a contact. The person's email address has changed but the phone # is the same. Is it really necessary to delete the whole contact and re-enter everything? When I bring up the contact and click on the pencil icon to edit it, it doesn't even show the old email address. It allows me to add a new one, but the old one is still there.
Help!!

Casting without internet

My situation: Remote location, no landline/cable internet or cell signal.

What I want to do: Wireless cast/mirror/??? .mp4 movies stored on my android phone to a dumb TV

What I have: LG G5 android phone, Arris wireless modem (with no internet connection), Amazon Firestick

Question: is it possible to display a movie playing on my phone on my TV using these components (without internet)?

I've tried just connecting my phone to the TV using a cord (with proper adapters) and it works great until my phone battery is drained. I have to charge it twice to watch a 2-hr movie so it takes 6 hrs to watch ... I need a better solution. All advice is appreciated.

Discord Message Error

Hey guys,

I am in trying to send messages in discord, but it always says that the "recipient does not share the same server", despite us sharing the server. I have sent messages to the person before. I recently started sending formatted text after reading instructions online. To be precise I have been using codes from here https://devsjournal.com/discord-text-formatting.html to send colored texts, but surely this won't be the cause of the problem.
