Can't upload non-local files with content:// URIs

[ivankashtanov]

Hi,
I've been trying to use this package for uploading files I pick on device using system's document picker.
It provides access to local files and Google Drive content as well. Most of GD data is not on device but picker returns content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/... URI, i.e. content:// URIs as well.
Unfortunately, using it for upload result in an error on this line that says something like can't invoke method String.toCharArray() on null object reference.

AFAIU, reading content URIs should be done using ContentResolver object (details here). Example there shows bitmap reading but it's also possible to create input stream from URI to read any type of data (details here, section "Get an InputStream").

It would be great to change content URI handling so that ContentResolver is used when needed.

I've managed to make it work for remote GD files, will make a PR if I have time.

Here is my solution. It copies the way bundle-assets:// are handled, but uses ContentResolver.inputStream for stream creation.
Haven't tested all cases (only multipart body case), so didn't make a PR yet.

Even android.getContentIntent gives us a content:// uri :/. Really need this

There's a PR #374 merged for solving this issue. Please try to install the package from branch issue-374 and see if it works.
