Android Question How to get URI after file selection from Intent

[artsoft]

Hi!

Short question (sorry, if this is a simple or stupid question):

How I can get the file URI after selection a ZIP-File from Intent in order to read its content?

My test app is simple:
1 button and after click on it, this is executed:

Dim ed As Intent
ed.Initialize("android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT", "")
ed.SetType("application/zip")
StartActivity(ed)

Then the big file selector is shown and I have the possibility to select a file from - in example - "OneDrive" folder.

Then I click on this OneDrive-file and then ... I dont knwo how to get this file in order to read it.

It would be great if somebody could help here!
Thanks in advance.

Best regards
ARTsoft
