Hi,

I need to access a file from google drive, when i select file from google drive it is returning file path (//com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D4%3Bdoc%3D2602) but i am not able to access that file content.

Regards, Sachin KS

That Uri isn't a local file path, its a Uri to the data in the google drive content provider. As far as I know, when u pull a file from google drive it doesn't save it to your device, rather it gives you the stream.
