Convert content:// URI to actual path in Android 4.4 - android

I tried a solution (see below) that works fine, except in Android 4.4 the call to startActivityForResult() brings up an activity titled "Open from", which has "Recent", "Images", "Downloads" as well as several apps to pick from. When I choose "Images" and try to resolve the returned content URI (using the code below), the call to cursor.getString() returns null. If I choose the exact same file using the Gallery app, cursor.getString() returns a file path. I've only tested this in API levels 16 and 19. Everything works as expected in 16. As far as 19 goes, I have to choose the Gallery or other app or it doesn't work.
private 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();
String path = cursor.getString(column_index);
return path;
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
}


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

Convert content:// URI to actual path in Android 4.4
There is no reliable way to do this on any Android version. A content:// Uri does not have to represent a file on the filesystem, let alone one that you are able to access.
Android 4.4's changes to offer the storage framework simply increases the frequency with which you will encounter content:// Uri values.
If you get a content:// Uri, please consume it using a ContentResolver and methods like openInputStream() and openOutputStream().


I have been facing this problem too, but in my case, what I wanted to do was to specify a concrete Uri to the Gallery so I can use crop later. Looks like in the new Document Browser of KitKat we can't do that anymore unless you choose galery in the navigation drawer, and, like you said, open the image or file directly from there.
In the Uri case, you can still retrieve the path when opening fromt he Document Browser.
Intent dataIntent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
dataIntent.setType("image/*"); //Or whatever type you need
And then in onActivityResult:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == ACTIVITY_SELECT_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
myUri = data.getData();
String path = myUri.getPath();
openPath(myUri);
}
}
If you need then to open a file with that path, you just have yo use a Content Resolver:
public void openPath(Uri uri){
InputStream is = null;
try {
is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
//Convert your stream to data here
is.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}


It is introduced in a Google API. You can try this:
private Bitmap getBitmapFromUri(Uri uri) throws IOException {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
return image;
}


If you really need a file path. First, get the data using ContentResolver. Then, you can save the data to a temp file and use that path.
(I had to use a library with File object in a function parameter.)


Thanks to #FireBear, I modified answer now one will get path of media file
String filePath=saveBitmap(activity,getBitmapFromUri(imageUri),"tmpFile").getPath();
private Bitmap getBitmapFromUri(Context context, Uri uri) throws IOException {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
context.getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
return image;
}
private File saveBitmap(Context context, Bitmap bitmap, String name) {
File filesDir = context.getFilesDir();
File imageFile = new File(filesDir, name + ".jpg");
OutputStream os;
try {
os = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, os);
os.flush();
os.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
//Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Error writing bitmap", e);
}
return imageFile;
}


I know it does not answer the question itself, but as #CommonsWare sad, SAF was not meant to use this way.
Maybe an option for this is creating a copy of the file on the app's external files dir, use it and then delete it.
public File createFileCopy(Context context, DocumentFile file) {
if (file == null || !file.exists() || file.getName() == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The file must no be null, and must exist, and must have a name.");
}
File fileCopy = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath(), file.getName());
try {
android.os.FileUtils.copy(openFileInputStream(file), new FileOutputStream(fileCopy));
return fileCopy;
} catch (Exception e) {
// do whateveer you want with this exceeption
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}


I tried in a different way. each answer on stackoverflow was having some kind of issue, either it leads to some kind of crash or dosen't works out. the first answer above won't work for finding URI from whatsApp media.
below solution is all rounder solution worked for me. I have copied complete PathUtils class here. use getpath() function for the path.
public class PathUtils {
private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 2;
public static String getPath(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String fileName = getFileName(contentUri);
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(fileName)) {

copy(context, contentUri, copyFile);
return copyFile.getAbsolutePath();
}
return null;
}
public static String getFileName(Uri uri) {
if (uri == null) return null;
String fileName = null;
String path = uri.getPath();
int cut = path.lastIndexOf('/');
if (cut != -1) {
fileName = path.substring(cut + 1);
}
return fileName;
}
public static void copy(Context context, Uri srcUri, File dstFile) {
try {
InputStream inputStream = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(srcUri);
if (inputStream == null) return;
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(dstFile);
copyMain(inputStream, outputStream);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static int copyMain(InputStream input, OutputStream output) throws Exception, IOException {
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(input, BUFFER_SIZE);
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(output, BUFFER_SIZE);
int count = 0, n = 0;
try {
while ((n = in.read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, n);
count += n;
}

How to get the file path from uri in Android devices having Oreo and above OS

To select an audio file using Intent , I am using this function :-
fun selectAudioFromStorage() {
val pictureActionIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, null)
pictureActionIntent.type = "audio/*"
pictureActionIntent.putExtra("return-data", true)
startActivityForResult(pictureActionIntent, ResultConstants.RC_SELECT_AUDIO)
}
onActivityResult of the fragment class provides the Uri of the selected audio file like this :
content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2Forganfinale.mp3
On Android (Lollipop),To convert the uri to real path is working fine using cursor but for Oreo devices I am not able to get the real path from the Uri of this audio.

I usually use this Class for getting the path,, You can have a look at this which works for almost all version

I solved it. Simply call this getPathFromURI method and it will return the file path
object RealPathHelper {
private const val BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 2
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
fun getPathFromURI(
context: Context,
contentUri: Uri,
fileNamePrefix: String,
defaultFileExtension: String
): String? {
val uriPath: String = contentUri.path ?: return null
val fileName: String = MediaFileHelper.getFileNameWithExtension(uriPath)
if (fileName.isNotBlank()) {
val destFile =
createOutputFile(context, contentUri, fileNamePrefix, defaultFileExtension)
copyUriToFile(context, contentUri, destFile)
return destFile.absolutePath
}
return null
}
private fun createOutputFile(
context: Context,
contentUri: Uri,
fileNamePrefix: String,
defaultFileExtension: String
): File {
var count = 0
var file: File
val uriPath: String? = contentUri.path
val fileExtension = if (uriPath == null) defaultFileExtension
else MediaFileHelper.getFileExtension(uriPath)
do {
count++
val mFileName = "$fileNamePrefix${StringHelper.getUniqueId()}$count$fileExtension"
val newFilePath =
"${context.getExternalFilesDir(null)?.absolutePath}${context.getString(R.string.audio_select_directory)}/$mFileName"
file = File(newFilePath)
} while (file.exists() && !file.isDirectory)
return file
}
private fun copyUriToFile(context: Context, srcUri: Uri, dstFile: File) {
try {
val inputStream = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(srcUri) ?: return
val outputStream = FileOutputStream(dstFile)
inputStream.copyTo(outputStream, BUFFER_SIZE)
inputStream.close()
outputStream.close()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}

As file paths are not usable in API 29 and above for public files I suggest that you don't try to use them but use a Java FileDescriptor instead.
As per https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage#scoped-storage
And more specifically https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media#open-file-descriptor
A lot of API's allow you to provide a FileDescriptor instead of a path.
e.g. Use
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setDataSource(java.io.FileDescriptor)
instead of
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setDataSource(java.lang.String)
To get a fileDescriptor from a URI do the following (in Java)
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd =
this.getContentResolver().
openFileDescriptor(URI, "r");
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = pfd.getFileDescriptor();

how to download . txt or .pdf file from google drive that is picked using intent chooser

I ended up in failure for the below content uri
content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D19%3Bdoc%3D10211
the filePath is returned as "null"

Given a Uri, to make a local file copy, you:
Use ContentResolver and openInputStream() to get an InputStream on the content represented by the Uri
Create a FileOutputStream on the desired file
Use standard Java I/O to copy the bytes from the InputStream to the FileOutputStream
You wind up with code like this:
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(f);
BufferedOutputStream out=new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
InputStream in=
getContentResolver().openInputStream(document);
try {
byte[] buffer=new byte[8192];
int len=0;
while ((len=in.read(buffer))>=0) {
out.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
out.flush();
}
finally {
fos.getFD().sync();
out.close();
in.close();
}
(where document is the Uri and f is the destination File)

Uri uri = data.getData();
Use the uri directly to open an InputStream to read from it. Do away with those filepicker utils. You don't need a file path.
InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
That's all.

#Override

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.
/**

Android image picker to pick image from specified folder path

I'm saving my images to a folder in sdcard, now in my android app, I want to create image picker that opens this specific folder and allow picking images.
Tried many SO solutions but none worked for me!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try the following code :
private void loadImageFromMyFolder() {
asyncBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
File yourDir = new File("/rootPath/myImage/");
yourDir.mkdir();
ArrayList<GalleryHelper> dataT = null;
dataT = new ArrayList<GalleryHelper>();
videoLoder.cancel(true);
asyncBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
for (File f : yourDir.listFiles()) {
if (f.isFile()) {
imageLoader.displayImage("/rootPath/myImage/" + f.getName(), imgSinglePick);
GalleryHelper item = new GalleryHelper();
item.sdcardPath = "/rootPath/myImage/" + f.getName();
dataT.add(item);
}
}
imgAdapter.addAll(dataT);
}
public class GalleryHelper {
public String sdcardPath;
public File file;
public boolean isSeleted = false;
}

You can get image just create a class code is given below and use it in your project:-
public class ImagePath {
Context context;
public ImagePath(Context context) {
this.context = context;

It is easy but may be lengthy since you want to create your own picker.
Steps:
1. get file path of your required directory
val folderPath = "${Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()}/yourDirectoryName"
list all files under that directory
var arrayList: ArrayList<File> = arrayListOf()
if(folderPath.exists()){
var files=folderPath.listFiles();
if(files.length!=0){
for(int i=0;i<files.length;i++)
{
var file=files[i];
arrayList.add(file);
}
}
}
you have all the files of particular folder in arrayList. Now using recyclerView and adapter you can make your picker.
Note: if your are not sure that your folder may contain other files which you don't want to pick then..exclude them using
if(file.extension=="jpeg" || file.extension=="jpg"){
arrayList.add(file)
}

Get Real Path For Uri Android

I am developing a VideoPlayer. I convert the URI of a launched intent to a string and it gives me content://media/external...... But I need to get the real path.
For example: /storage/extSdcard.....
How do I do this?
Here is my code if needed:
videoURI = getIntent().getData();
vv.setVideoURI(videoURI);
videoName = videoURI.toString();
tvTitle.setText(videoName);

Use this code .This is working for all android version.This is tested code.This support all devices

Get the real path bypassing URI to getRealPathFromURI function in your activity or fragment:
val fileRealPath = getRealPathFromURI(context!!, fileURI) ?: ""

You can use this code for selected video path.
Uri uri = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
if(cursor.moveToFirst()){
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String yourRealPath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
} else {
//boooo, cursor doesn't have rows ...
}
cursor.close();
you can refer the below link for your help.
Get filename and path from URI from mediastore
Latest with File provider (API 29):
please follow links :
Blogs: https://blogs.datanapps.com/media-picker
Github : https://github.com/datanapps/MediaPicker
I hope you will success.

Here's something I have used before:
public String getRealPathFromURI (Uri contentUri) {
String path = null;
String[] proj = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
path = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
cursor.close();
return path;
}

Most of the answers doesnt work for both gallery and camera images. 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;
}

Try This:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
System.out.println("picturePath +"+ picturePath ); //path of sdcard
}
}

Here is how to get real path of the file from Uri via MediaStore::
private 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);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "getRealPathFromURI Exception : " + e.toString());
return "";
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
}

here i get uri from on onActivityResult()
Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData();
String realPath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageURI);
1) In fragment you can use function like this way..
private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) {
String filePath;
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
filePath = contentURI.getPath();
} else {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
filePath = cursor.getString(idx);
cursor.close();
}
return filePath;
}
2) And activity you can use function like that.
private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) {
String filePath;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
filePath = contentURI.getPath();
} else {
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
filePath = cursor.getString(idx);
cursor.close();
}
return filePath;
}

Call it like
Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData(); //where data is intent return by onActivityResult
imageFile = new File(getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageURI));
and code for gettingPath..
private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI)
{
String result = null;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null)
{ // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
result = contentURI.getPath();
}
else
{
if(cursor.moveToFirst())
{
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
result = cursor.getString(idx);
}
cursor.close();
}
return result;
}

I was trying to solve this problem for 2/3 days, none of the possible solutions I found were helpful. I kept getting null cursors and similar errors.
My reason for needing the file path was to get Exif data so I could display images in the correct orientation. (See A final answer on how to get Exif data from URI)
I found this open source project -
https://github.com/ArthurHub/Android-Image-Cropper/blob/master/cropper/src/main/java/com/theartofdev/edmodo/cropper/BitmapUtils.java
There is a method that gets Exif data from an InputStream, this fixed my problem -
ExifInterface ei = null;
try
{
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
if (is != null)
{
ei = new ExifInterface(is);
is.close();
}
}
catch (Exception ignored)
{
}
I know this isn't answering the question directly, but since I found this thread by trying to solve this problem, I think my answer may help others.

For Kotlin folks, This code works for me

if (isExternalStorageDocument(uri)) {
val docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri)
val split = docId.split(":".toRegex()).toTypedArray()
val type = split[0]
if ("primary".equals(type, ignoreCase = true)) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/" + split[1]
}
} else if (isDownloadsDocument(uri)) {
val id = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri)
val contentUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://downloads/public_downloads"), java.lang.Long.valueOf(id))
return getDataColumn(context, contentUri, null, null)

val column_index: Int = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column)
return cursor.getString(column_index)

} finally {
if (cursor != null) cursor.close()

return null

You can add these methods in your utils class

you can use this function for get file from uri in new android and older
fun getFileFromUri(context: Context, uri: Uri?): File? {
uri ?: return null
uri.path ?: return null
var newUriString = uri.toString()
newUriString = newUriString.replace(
"content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/",
"content://com.android.providers.media.documents/"
)
newUriString = newUriString.replace(
"/msf%3A", "/image%3A"
)
val newUri = Uri.parse(newUriString)
var realPath = String()
val databaseUri: Uri
val selection: String?
val selectionArgs: Array<String>?
if (newUri.path?.contains("/document/image:") == true) {
databaseUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
selection = "_id=?"
selectionArgs = arrayOf(DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(newUri).split(":")[1])
} else {
databaseUri = newUri
selection = null
selectionArgs = null
}
try {
val column = "_data"
val projection = arrayOf(column)
val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(
databaseUri,
projection,
selection,
selectionArgs,
null
)
cursor?.let {
if (it.moveToFirst()) {
val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(column)
realPath = cursor.getString(columnIndex)
}
cursor.close()
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.i("GetFileUri Exception:", e.message ?: "")
}
val path = realPath.ifEmpty {
when {
newUri.path?.contains("/document/raw:") == true -> newUri.path?.replace(
"/document/raw:",
""
)
newUri.path?.contains("/document/primary:") == true -> newUri.path?.replace(
"/document/primary:",
"/storage/emulated/0/"
)
else -> return null
}
}
return if (path.isNullOrEmpty()) null else File(path)
}

I found more elegance solution:
Uri file_uri = Uri.parse(videoURI); // parse to Uri if your videoURI is string
String real_path = file_uri.getPath(); // will return real file path

I'm getting issue for same in Android 10,
as my file URI consist msf: format.
Most solutions said to copy files into cache path & then use that path.
Thus, here is solution to get path, without copying it.
if (isAndroid10 && id.startsWith("msf:")) {
final String[] split = id.split(":");
final String selection = "_id=?";
final String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { split[1] };
return getDataColumn(context, MediaStore.Downloads.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, selection, selectionArgs);
}
Try to implement this.
MediaStore.Downloads.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI -- ONLY PRESENT FROM ANDROID 10
