How to get file path from URI in Android N

How can I get the file path from Uri when I open a video file from file explore.
Uri host is "content" and "_data" return null.
I want to get other videos in the same directory thus i have to get the file path.if have any other way to get videos in the same directory without file path,it also work for me.
Thanks a lot for your any ideas and solutions.

Try this code. It works for me in Oreo as well.

This code requires the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:

This permission should be requested from the user at runtime as it is a dangerous permission.

Activity code:

I am getting null when trying to select video from Google Photos

I am getting null when trying to select video from Google Photos.
It works if the video is also stored in your external memory but its not working,
if its only available on google photos. I tried many solutions but don't know how to accomplish this. Below is the class that i use to get the URI.

You have no permission to read the media from which Google Photo sends you a file I suppose. You have to use getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri) to open as an InputStream and show in your activity a photo which Google Photo sends you. Your code is unacceptable. Try to search SO for this topic. It was discussed a lot of times.
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(intent.getAction()){
uri = intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
if (uri != null) {
InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
long fileSize = is.available()
//Do some suff to show stream as a picture in the Activity
}
}
This code works for me with last Google Photos app on Android 7.0 when picture is stored on the internal phone memory. If Google Photos keeps a desired file somewhere on a cloud you have to load data from is in the background thread to avoid Networking on main thread exception.

Getting null value while upload pdf file from device memory

In my application i want to upload pdf file from device. So for that i have followed bellow link
[Android: Browse and upload a PDF or word file in application from the device
By using this code, after select pdf file getting null value. This getFileNameByUri method return null vlaue. I dont know, what is the issue hare. So please suggest me.
Thanks In Advance...
This the code i am using...
private void getDocument()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("application/pdf");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
// Only the system receives the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, so no need to test.
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}
And this is the onactivity result
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int req, int result, Intent data)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(req, result, data);
if (result == RESULT_OK)
{
Uri fileuri = data.getData();
docFilePath = getFileNameByUri(this, fileuri);
}
}
And this is the method for file path..
private String getFileNameByUri(Context context, Uri uri)
{
String filepath = "";//default fileName
//Uri filePathUri = uri;
File file;
if (uri.getScheme().toString().compareTo("content") == 0)
{
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[] { android.provider.MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION }, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String mImagePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
filepath = mImagePath;
}
else
if (uri.getScheme().compareTo("file") == 0)
{
try
{
file = new File(new URI(uri.toString()));
if (file.exists())
filepath = file.getAbsolutePath();
}
catch (URISyntaxException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else
{
filepath = uri.getPath();
}
return filepath;
}
here this method getFileNameByUri returns null value..

This will get the file path from the MediaProvider, DownloadsProvider, and ExternalStorageProvider, while falling back to the unofficial ContentProvider method you mention.

Get the path from Uri in Android Kitkat throws Illegal Argument exception

I'm trying to get the path from uri. it works in devices below kitkat. I googled and found that I need to get the document Id and then query it with the gallery items. And it works. But I'm facing problem with videos. When i select the video from Videos section, it works. But When I select it from Gallery, my app crashes, giving Illegal Argument exception- Not a document type. I know why it's happening. It is because I'm looking for a document type of video in Gallery section. But how to prevent this. So that I can select videos from both Gallery & Videos Section.
Here is my code:
public static String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri,String type) {
if(isKitkatBelow()) {
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);
}else{
String docId= DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(contentUri);
String id= docId.split(":")[1];
if(type== TYPE_IMAGE){
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String whereClause=MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor=context.getContentResolver().query(getUri(type),proj,whereClause,new String[]{id},null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}else{
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA };
String whereClause=MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor=context.getContentResolver().query(getUri(type),proj,whereClause,new String[]{id},null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
}
This is happening because I'm trying to search a file of type MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA in Gallery. But for devices below kitkat, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA gets the video uri, from the gallery too without causing any crash. Thanks in Advance..

You can use for getting absolute path from the Uri of selected file because of differences in both KitKat(API 19) and below Kitkat in android to achieve this using following code,
public static String getPath(final Context context, final Uri uri) {

if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/"
+ split[1];
}
// TODO handle non-primary volumes
}
// DownloadsProvider
else 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(context, contentUri, null, null);
}

retrieve absolute path when select image from gallery kitkat android

As I am supporting my app to Kitkat version, now in this the way of retrieve file from gallery was different.
I have preferred this Android Gallery on KitKat returns different Uri for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT for retrieving file from gallery and successfully work but I required Absolute path of that file, I am getting
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:2505
For 19 below version we used uri different by using that I am getting path this way
Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(originalUri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String fpath = cursor.getString(column_index);
but in 19 version it will give me null value how to get absolute path of image file which was selected by user.
Thanks

Here is one way to access the Absolute path after selecting file.
After getting data in new URI format for KK(KitKat) like this way
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:2505
Just extract ID of your document
if(requestCode == GALLERY_KITKAT_INTENT_CALLED && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Uri originalUri = data.getData();
final int takeFlags = data.getFlags()
& (Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
| Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
// Check for the freshest data.
getContentResolver().takePersistableUriPermission(originalUri, takeFlags);
/* now extract ID from Uri path using getLastPathSegment() and then split with ":"
then call get Uri to for Internal storage or External storage for media I have used getUri()
*/
String id = originalUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":")[1];
final String[] imageColumns = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
final String imageOrderBy = null;
Uri uri = getUri();
String selectedImagePath = "path";
Cursor imageCursor = managedQuery(uri, imageColumns,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "="+id, null, imageOrderBy);
if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) {
selectedImagePath = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
}
Log.e("path",selectedImagePath ); // use selectedImagePath
}else if() {
// for older version use existing code here
}
// By using this method get the Uri of Internal/External Storage for Media
private Uri getUri() {
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if(!state.equalsIgnoreCase(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
return MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
return MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
}

Pratik's solution helped me alot. Following is the version which works for me in Kitkat 4.4.2. Three things which i changed are
1) Using content resolver to get the path
2) originalUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":")[1] gives me index out of bound so i'm using index 0 instead.Its been working so far
3) Removed takeflags and check for freshest data as we are filtering the cursor with id.
try {
Uri originalUri = data.getData();
String pathsegment[] = originalUri.getLastPathSegment().split(":");
String id = pathsegment[0];
final String[] imageColumns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
final String imageOrderBy = null;
Uri uri = getUri();
Cursor imageCursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(uri, imageColumns,
MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=" + id, null, null);
if (imageCursor.moveToFirst()) {
value = imageCursor.getString(imageCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Failed to get image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
