open a sqlite database when choosing folder with ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

问题

I have an already existing sqlite database in a folder /sdcard/myfolder/db/mydb.db. My app shows a dialog to choose a folder:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE);
                      startActivityForResult(intent, 42);

The Dialog pops up and I can choose the folder:

I choose the folder /sdcard/myfolder/db/ and press choose/ok.

My onActivityResult gets called. I go through all files and if the file is my "mydb.db" then I try to open the sqlite database with SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(); and I get an error (see below)

My guess of the problem: This will not work, because the openDatabase expects the full path to the db like /sdcard/myfolder/db/mydb.db

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // if (requestCode == REQUEST_QUICKLIST) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            if(requestCode==42){
                // TreeDialog for choosing the Installdirectory
                Uri treeUri = data.getData();
                DocumentFile pickedDir = DocumentFile.fromTreeUri(this, treeUri);
                for (DocumentFile file : pickedDir.listFiles()) {
                    if(file.getName().equals("mydb.db")){
                        SQLiteDatabase sqliteTest=  SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(file.getUri().getPath(), null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);   
                    }
                    Log.d("DEBUG FILE", "Found file " + file.getName() + " with size " + file.length() + " " + file.getParentFile().getName());
                }

file.getUri().getPath() has the value : /tree/primary:myfolder/db/document/primary:myfolder/db/mydb.db

How to open the sqlite Database ?

I haven't tested, due to Lollipop device not available at this time but this should work, let me know if any issues!

if(file.getName().equals("mydb.db")){
    Uri uri = file.getUri();
    Uri docUri = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(uri,
                      DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(uri));
    String path = ASFUriHelper.getPath(this, docUri);
    SQLiteDatabase sqliteTest=  SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(path, null, 
                                     SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
}

The gist of ASFUriHelper.getPath() method with intermediate methods can be found here: ASFUriHelper.getPath()

Thank you for this answer. The problem for me is that getPath returns NULL on my HTC M8 with SD card when I choose a directory on the SD Card.

That is because the uri does not contain "primary" as espectect in the code of getpath :

if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
    return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
}

for me, type contains "1AF0-170C" and the full uri is :

/tree/1AF0-170C:SmartDiveBook/document/1AF0-170C:SmartDiveBook/SmartDiveBook.db
