    Default Android - Open file with QFile

    After recording a video with the Camera on an Android device, the actualLocation is file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/VID_00000012.3gp

    How can I open it?

    Qt Code:
    1. QFile videoLocation;
    2. videoLocation.setFileName(actualLocation);
    3. if (videoLocation.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
    4. ...
    5. }
    6. else {
    7. qDebug() << videoLocation.errorString();
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The open method fails an the errorString prints No such file or directory

    Default Re: Android - Open file with QFile

    actualLocation is a file URI, not a file name, QFile works on file names.
    QUrl::toLocalFile().

    Cheers,
