Hi.
I'm trying to edit a file from my app in Microsoft Word for Android. I've implemented my own DocumentsProvider and I'm able to open Word, browser to my provider and edit my files.
However, if I want to open a file from my app, it always opens as read only.
This is my code
Uri wordUrl = Uri.parse(
"content://my.documents.provider.authorities/document/my-file-id"
);
Intent wordIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
wordIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION);
wordIntent.setPackage("com.microsoft.office.word");
wordIntent.setData(wordUrl);
startActivity(wordIntent);
Please note that I also tried to modify the first line to
Uri wordUrl = Uri.parse(
"msword:ofe|u|content://my.documents.provider.authorities/document/my-file-id"
);
as described in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/mt238280.aspx, but in this case, the file doesn't open at all (getting an error message in Word).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
