Question: I have found that java.net.URI has a create(String uri) option but the android.net.uri does not.

More specifically: I am trying to grab the output of RingtoneManager's RingtonePicker and set it as the default ringtone with SetActualDefaultRingtoneUri:

Intent intent = new Intent(RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER);
intent.putExtra( RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TYPE
                     ,RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);

intent.putExtra( RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TITLE
                     , "Select Tone For Rainy Days");

startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this
                     ,RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE
                     ,RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI);

The problem is that RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI returns a string not a URI. There might be a better way than to convert the string to a URI. I cannot find a reason why java.net.URI can do it and android.net.Uri can't.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
