How to extract the real file URI or file data from a path that looks like "/content:/media/external/video/media/19"?
<p>I am desperately trying to send a captured video to a server. The problem is that the URI that is given by the built-in camera application is not the real file path. It looks like this - <code>/content:/media/external/video/media/19</code>. </p>

<p>How can I access the real path or the data directly from this kind of URIs?</p>

<p>After reading the android documentation I saw that it looks like a content provider's notation, but I still don't have a clue how to reach the data that I need. Please help!!!</p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>
