Yep seems to be a problem of the extension with android 11
tested it with android 9 works fine. does anybody know how to get file path from content uri other than using these extensions? @vknow360 @Taifun

[karthik2 (karthik)]

seems like activity starter is also providing the wrong uri?

[sugarlesscreator]

Can you share directory of your pdf from file manager like this

[karthik2 (karthik)]

my file manager shows it like this

@karthik2

problem of the extension with android 11

I can confirm.

[sugarlesscreator]

try manually to open file Acc.pdf

[karthik2 (karthik)]

That would work but i can’t use it like that because the user would pick any file he wants in his phone

[sugarlesscreator]

Yes, I understand. it just tries to open a file from a directory.

I think the solution is to replace the directory of the result uri with /Internal storage/Folder where the file is/filename.pdf

to find out the available directories by right-clicking “do it” on this block

try this apk, but i’m not sure, because i work on android 10
