How to get video path with Activity starter?

Hi, koders: I need to pick a video and Upload it to Cloudnary with Activity Starter but, im facing with getting File path.

How can i pick a video and upload it to cloudnary?

Use taifun file by @taifun or file tools by @vknow360 to get path from content URI…

Ohh… I see… :sweat_smile:

Use the activity result URI to get the URI after activity.


This is the way to turn URI to real file path.
