rn-fetch-blob failed to list path with uri com.android.providers.media.documents

Question

After picking file with react-native-document-picker like this:

const res = await DocumentPick.pick({
   type: [DocumentPick.types.allFiles],
});

I've got two types of URI depends of device (Android only):

content://media/external/images/media/31

or

content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:31

I successfully use rn-fetch-blob with the first one (Adding file:// before the returned uri) but I can't with the second one:

[Error: stat error: failed to list path `content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/document%3A31` for it is not exist or it is not a folder]

Also trying to replace %3A to ":" but I've got the same error.

So, how I can use rn-fetch-blob with URI like "content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:31" ?

Answer 1

try setting the following in options {copyTo : "cachesDirectory" }, this will copy the file & generate an absolute path which can be accessed from fileCopyUri in response.
