Android Oreo how to get real path from uri?

I'm using this code to get the real path from a URI. It's working in
marshmallow but not in Oreo:
private String getPathNew(Activity activity, Uri uri) {
if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {
final String id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final Uri contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), Long.valueOf(id));
return getDataColumn(activity, contentUri, null, null);
}
return null;
}
public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String
selection, String[] selectionArgs) {
Cursor cursor = null;
final String column = "_data";
final String[] projection = {column};
try {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection,
selectionArgs, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}
What am I doing wrong?

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

Unable to get path for video in Android

I have a URI like so: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/video%3A818. I'm trying to get the path so that I can upload to my server with the below method:
private String getRealPathFromURIVideo(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(this, 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;
}
I also tried the below:
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri) {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
I keep getting null from that method! I need the File object after getting the path. Why is that method giving me the null value? Is there something I'm missing here?

I was able to do it like so:
private String getRealPathFromURIForVideo(Uri selectedVideoUri) {
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(selectedVideoUri);
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
String sel = MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
String filePath = "";
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}

Select image from gallery for some device it null

i am getting image from gallery from below code
Uri filePath = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE};
Cursor cursor =
mCon.getContentResolver().query(filePath, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
but when i select image from file explore in some devices cursor is always null but if i select same image from gallery app it works... why it so ?

try this code
private String uriToFilename(Uri uri) {
String path = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
path = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(this, uri);
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
path = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(this, uri);
} else {
path = RealPathUtil.getRealPathFromURI_API19(this, uri);
}
return path;
}
create RealOathUtil.java
public class RealPathUtil {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri) {
Log.e("uri", uri.getPath());
String filePath = "";
if (DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
Log.e("wholeID", wholeID);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String[] splits = wholeID.split(":");
if (splits.length == 2) {
String id = splits[1];
String[] column = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{id}, null);
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
}
} else {
filePath = uri.getPath();
}
return filePath;
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
String result = null;
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
context,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if (cursor != null) {
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
result = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return result;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor 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);
}
}
Now in onactivtyResult() use this
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
String selectedImagePath = uriToFilename(selectedImageUri);

You should try this.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

Try this code.
To open gallery:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete action using"), 1);
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
mImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mImagePath);
mProfilePic.setImageBitmap(mBitmap);
}
}
To get actual path of image:
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
Hope this may help you.

how to get Real Path from Uri?

I would like to upload file to server. So I use a file chooser. But I have a problem with some application to get the real path from uri. the case if the content is a v
ideo, audio or image or if I can get the path directly i have no problem. the methode imlemented are :
public String getRealAudioPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA };
//This method was deprecated in API level 11
//Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
this,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
and it is the some for image and video. but my problem is when content is in this forme:
content://com.dataviz.dxtg.documentprovider/document/file%3A%2F%2F%2Fmnt%2Fsdcard%2FDownload%2Arbres.png
I tried the method
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
So how to get the real path from URi and if there is an other content type .
to get my real path is given below:
//Uri return from external activity
orgUri = data.getData();
text1.setText("fichier à envoyer " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");
// imagepath = orgUri.toString() ;
//path converted from Uri
//convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
if(orgUri.toString().contains(IMAGEMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);
} else if(orgUri.toString().contains(AUDIOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealAudioPathFromURI(orgUri);
}
else if(orgUri.toString().contains(VIDEOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealvideoPathFromURI(orgUri);
}else {
if(orgUri.toString().contains("content")){
convertedPath = getFilePathFromContentUri(orgUri,
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver());
} else {
convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
}
}

try this one
Uri selectedFile = data.getData();
String path = selectedFile.getPath();
it works for me.
if it is not than let me inform i have another way too

This works for me...
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=
Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
Log.i("URI",uri+"");
String result = uri+"";
// DocumentProvider
// if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
if (isKitKat && (result.contains("media.documents"))) {
String[] ary = result.split("/");
int length = ary.length;
String imgary = ary[length-1];
final String[] dat = imgary.split("%3A");
final String docId = dat[1];
final String type = dat[0];
Uri contentUri = null;
if ("image".equals(type)) {
contentUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
} else if ("video".equals(type)) {
} else if ("audio".equals(type)) {
}
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {
dat[1]
};
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, selection, selectionArgs);
}
else
if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}
public static String getDataColumn(Context context, Uri uri, String selection,
String[] selectionArgs) {
Cursor cursor = null;
final String column = "_data";
final String[] projection = {
column
};
try {
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column);
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}

It is a problem of decode. So the Solution is to add decode to the method. as given below:
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(selectedVideoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
String result = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(filePath, "UTF-8");
return result;
}
my onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
//image.setImageBitmap(null);
//Uri return from external activity
orgUri = data.getData();
text1.setText("fichier à envoyer " + orgUri.toString() + "\n");
// imagepath = orgUri.toString() ;
//path converted from Uri
//convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
if(orgUri.toString().contains(IMAGEMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealPathFromURI(orgUri);
} else if(orgUri.toString().contains(AUDIOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealAudioPathFromURI(orgUri);
}
else if(orgUri.toString().contains(VIDEOMEDIA)){
convertedPath = getRealvideoPathFromURI(orgUri);
}else {
if(orgUri.toString().contains("content")){
try {
convertedPath = getFilePathFromContentUri(orgUri,
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
} else {
convertedPath = orgUri.getPath();
}
}
// text2.setText("Real Path: " + convertedPath + "\n");
imagepath = convertedPath;
uriFromPath = Uri.fromFile(new File(convertedPath));
}
}

How to get file path from uri?

I am trying to retrieve file path from URI. But my cursor is returning null.
Two problems:
Uri may be audio/ video. So how can I retrieve file path.
Why cursor is returning null?
Here is my code
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
//here cursor is null. So i am getting Null pointer exception
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
Permissions I have used:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

public void songList(){
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
Cursor cur = contentResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if(cur.moveToFirst()){
do {
int pathIndex = cur.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
int nameIndex = cur.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DISPLAY_NAME);
String spath = cur.getString(pathIndex);
String name = cur.getString(nameIndex);
paths.add(spath.substring(4));
songs.add(name);
} while (cur.moveToNext());
}

You can use get File path from diffrent SDk versions
Use RealPathUtils for it
public class RealPathUtils {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API19(Context context, Uri uri){
String filePath = "";
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static String getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String result = null;
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
context,
contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if(cursor != null){
int column_index =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
result = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
return result;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(Context context, Uri contentUri){
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor 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);
}
}
Now get the file Path from URI
String path = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11)
path = RealPathUtils.getRealPathFromURI_BelowAPI11(MainActivity.this, uri);
// SDK >= 11 && SDK < 19
else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19)
path = RealPathUtils.getRealPathFromURI_API11to18(MainActivity.this, uri);
// SDK > 19 (Android 4.4)
else
path = RealPathUtils.getRealPathFromURI_API19(MainActivity.this, uri);
Log.d(TAG, "File Path: " + path);
// Get the file instance
File file = new File(path);
