// This will return the mimeType. 
// for eg. xyz.png it will return image/png. 
// here uri is the file that we were picked using intent from ext/internal storage.
private String getMimeType(Uri uri) {
   // This class provides applications access to the content model.  
   ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();

   // getType(Uri url)-Return the MIME type of the given content URL. 
   return contentResolver.getType(uri);
}

它适用于我和灵活的内容和文件

public static String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) {
    String extension;

    //Check uri format to avoid null
    if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
        //If scheme is a content
        final MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
        extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(context.getContentResolver().getType(uri));
    } else {
        //If scheme is a File
        //This will replace white spaces with %20 and also other special characters. This will avoid returning null values on file name with spaces and special characters.
        extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(new File(uri.getPath())).toString());

    }

    return extension;
}

请密切关注上面umerk44的解决方案。getMimeTypeFromExtension调用guessMimeTypeTypeFromExtension并且区分大小写。我花了一个下午的时间，然后仔细观察- getMimeTypeFromExtension将返回NULL，如果你传递它“JPG”，而它将返回“image/jpeg”，如果你传递它“JPG”。

I don't realize why MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl() has problems with spaces and some other characters, that returns "", but I just wrote this method to change the file name to an admit-able one. It's just playing with Strings. However, It kind of works. Through the method, the spaces existing in the file name is turned into a desirable character (which, here, is "x") via replaceAll(" ", "x") and other unsuitable characters are turned into a suitable one via URLEncoder. so the usage (according to the codes presented in the question and the selected answer) should be something like getMimeType(reviseUrl(url)).

private String reviseUrl(String url) {

        String revisedUrl = "";
        int fileNameBeginning = url.lastIndexOf("/");
        int fileNameEnding = url.lastIndexOf(".");

        String cutFileNameFromUrl = url.substring(fileNameBeginning + 1, fileNameEnding).replaceAll(" ", "x");

        revisedUrl = url.
                substring(0, fileNameBeginning + 1) +
                java.net.URLEncoder.encode(cutFileNameFromUrl) +
                url.substring(fileNameEnding, url.length());

        return revisedUrl;
    }

上面的解决方案在.rar文件的情况下返回null，使用URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(url)在这种情况下工作。

Jens的回答的优化版本与零安全和回退类型。

@NonNull
static String getMimeType(@NonNull File file) {
    String type = null;
    final String url = file.toString();
    final String extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(url);
    if (extension != null) {
        type = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension.toLowerCase());
    }
    if (type == null) {
        type = "image/*"; // fallback type. You might set it to */*
    }
    return type;
}

重要:getFileExtensionFromUrl()只适用于小写字母!

好处:上面的方法是一个不那么冗长的Kotlin扩展函数:

fun File.getMimeType(fallback: String = "image/*"): String {
    return MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(toString())
            ?.run { MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(toLowerCase()) }
            ?: fallback // You might set it to */*
}
