Get filename and path from URI from mediastore

Below API 19 use this code to get File Path from URI:

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {  Cursor cursor = null;  try {     String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };    cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,  proj, null, null, null);    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);    cursor.moveToFirst();    return cursor.getString(column_index);  } finally {    if (cursor != null) {      cursor.close();    }  }}

Just a simple update on the first answer: mActivity.managedQuery() is now deprecated. I've updated the code with the new method.

private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };    CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(mContext, contentUri, proj, null, null, null);    Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground();    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);    cursor.moveToFirst();    String result = cursor.getString(column_index);    cursor.close();    return result;}

For Oreo

Uri uri = data.getData(); File file = new File(uri.getPath());//create path from urifinal String[] split = file.getPath().split(":");//split the path.filePath = split[1];//assign it to a string(your choice).

For All version below Oreo I have made this method which get real path from uri

 @SuppressLint("NewApi")    public static String getFilePath(Context context, Uri uri) throws URISyntaxException {        String selection = null;        String[] selectionArgs = null;        // Uri is different in versions after KITKAT (Android 4.4), we need to        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19 && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context.getApplicationContext(), uri)) {            if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {                final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);                final String[] split = docId.split(":");                return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];            } else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {                final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);                uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(                        Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));            } else if (isMediaDocument(uri)) {                final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);                final String[] split = docId.split(":");                final String type = split[0];                if ("image".equals(type)) {                    uri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;                } else if ("video".equals(type)) {                    uri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;                } else if ("audio".equals(type)) {                    uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;                }                selection = "_id=?";                selectionArgs = new String[]{                        split[1]                };            }        }        if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {          if (isGooglePhotosUri(uri)) {              return uri.getLastPathSegment();           }            String[] projection = {                    MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA            };            Cursor cursor = null;            try {                cursor = context.getContentResolver()                        .query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);                int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);                if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {                    return cursor.getString(column_index);                }            } catch (Exception e) {                e.printStackTrace();            }        } else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {            return uri.getPath();        }        return null;    }    public static boolean isExternalStorageDocument(Uri uri) {        return "com.android.externalstorage.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority());    }    public static boolean isDownloadsDocument(Uri uri) {        return "com.android.providers.downloads.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority());    }    public static boolean isMediaDocument(Uri uri) {        return "com.android.providers.media.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority());    }  public static boolean isGooglePhotosUri(Uri uri) {    return "com.google.android.apps.photos.content".equals(uri.getAuthority());}
