title: AIR / Android, content-URI to AS3-file-path
body: <p>I registered some file-extensions for my AIR-Android-App, so when a file is selected, my app receives an  Invoke-Event in Flash/AS3 with the path to that file.This works fine for files/downloads/links. </p>
  
  <p>However, some Applications provide a a content-uri instead of a direct file-path (e.g. eMail-attachments before they are downloaded). </p>
  
  <p>e.g:
  content://gmail-ls/houseatreides@gmail.com/messages/6/attachments/0.1/BEST/false</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION:
  How can i turn this into something i can load in AIR/AS3. 
  Or how can i order the other application to catch the file for ?
  If its not possible in AIR, does anyone know of an ANE that gets the job done ?</p>
  
  <p>I found a post how to do it native in JAVA:</p>

  <p>Confirmation that is not possible in AIR is also welcome.
  Thank you.</p>
