This fixes the issue when selecting a file from Downloads directory as well as the SD Card. This class can be called like this: String sourcePath = FileUtils.getRealPathFromURI_API19(this, data.getData());

Android Tools Attributes

Android Tools Attributes

Twitter

Android has a dedicated XML namespace intended for tools to be able to record information in XML files, and have that information stripped when the application is packaged such that there is no runtime or download size penalty. The namespace URI is http://schemas.android.com/tools and is usually bound to the tools: prefix:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"

Simple setup for item backgrounds pre/post lollipop
AppCompat-v7:21 provides a very useful way of dealing with pressed/focused/activated states maintaining backwards compatibility downto API-7, but there's a small issue (big for some) with the default selectableItemBackground: It uses some PNGs and/or default values for API<21.
The main reason is that android drawable resource definitions (prior API 21) CANNOT use theme attributes at all, so there's no way of making something like:
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="?attr/colorControlHighlight" />
</shape>
For this, I've put this simple mockup on how to give your app better drawables that the appcompat defaults.
