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;
    }

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!

更新(19.03.2018)

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 */*
}

EDIT

我为此创建了一个小型库。 但是底层代码几乎是一样的。

使用芬兰湾的科特林

fun File.getMimeType(context: Context): String? {
    if (this.isDirectory) {
        return null
    }

    fun fallbackMimeType(uri: Uri): String? {
        return if (uri.scheme == ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT) {
            context.contentResolver.getType(uri)
        } else {
            val extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(uri.toString())
            MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()))
        }
    }

    fun catchUrlMimeType(): String? {
        val uri = Uri.fromFile(this)

        return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            val path = Paths.get(uri.toString())
            try {
                Files.probeContentType(path) ?: fallbackMimeType(uri)
            } catch (ignored: IOException) {
                fallbackMimeType(uri)
            }
        } else {
            fallbackMimeType(uri)
        }
    }

    val stream = this.inputStream()
    return try {
        URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream(stream) ?: catchUrlMimeType()
    } catch (ignored: IOException) {
        catchUrlMimeType()
    } finally {
        stream.close()
    }
}

这似乎是最好的选择，因为它结合了前面的答案。

首先，它尝试使用URLConnection获取类型。guessContentTypeFromStream，但如果这个失败或返回null，它会尝试在Android O和以上使用mimetype

java.nio.file.Files
java.nio.file.Paths

否则，如果Android版本低于O或方法失败，它将使用ContentResolver和MimeTypeMap返回类型

// new processing the mime type out of Uri which may return null in some cases
String mimeType = getContentResolver().getType(uri);
// old processing the mime type out of path using the extension part if new way returned null
if (mimeType == null){mimeType URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(path);}

我认为最简单的方法是引用这个资源文件: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libcore/+/master/luni/src/main/java/libcore/net/android.mime.types

这里没有一个答案是完美的。以下是一个结合了所有热门答案的最佳元素的答案:

public final class FileUtil {

    // By default, Android doesn't provide support for JSON
    public static final String MIME_TYPE_JSON = "application/json";

    @Nullable
    public static String getMimeType(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull Uri uri) {

        String mimeType = null;
        if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
            ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
            mimeType = cr.getType(uri);
        } else {
            String fileExtension = getExtension(uri.toString());

            if(fileExtension == null){
                return null;
            }

            mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(
                    fileExtension.toLowerCase());

            if(mimeType == null){
                // Handle the misc file extensions
                return handleMiscFileExtensions(fileExtension);
            }
        }
        return mimeType;
    }

    @Nullable
    private static String getExtension(@Nullable String fileName){

        if(fileName == null || TextUtils.isEmpty(fileName)){
            return null;
        }

        char[] arrayOfFilename = fileName.toCharArray();
        for(int i = arrayOfFilename.length-1; i > 0; i--){
            if(arrayOfFilename[i] == '.'){
                return fileName.substring(i+1, fileName.length());
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Nullable
    private static String handleMiscFileExtensions(@NonNull String extension){

        if(extension.equals("json")){
            return MIME_TYPE_JSON;
        }
        else{
            return null;
        }
    }
}
