Appcelerator resolve uri

Question

I'm working on a procedure to import a file within the application, in this case I am taking a google drive file.

When the user selects a file startActivityForResult returns a url like this:

content: //com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%%3D1%%3Bdoc%%3D1214

I can not resolve this url to access the content of the file. Does anyone have experience on this?

On google I found some old module, but, I do not think solves my problem.

Thank you.

Finally I've found the solution. you need to copy the file to the applicationDataDirectory before trying to get the content.

Copying the file will automatically resolve the content uri.

var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent({
    action: Ti.Android.ACTION_GET_CONTENT,
    type: '*/*'
});

$.win.activity.startActivityForResult(intent, function(e) {

    if (e.intent) {

        var filePath = e.intent.data;
        var file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(filePath);
        var copiedFile = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, file.name);
        file.copy(copiedFile.nativePath); 

        if (!copiedFile.exists()) {
            // show your error message
            return;
        }

        // file content
        console.log(copiedFile.read().text);

    }
});
