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  lt  11                      path   RealPathUtils getRealPathFromURI BelowAPI11 MainActivity this  uri                           SDK  gt   11  amp  amp  SDK  lt  19                 else if  Build VERSION SDK INT  lt  19                      path   RealPathUtils getRealPathFromURI API11to18 MainActivity this  uri                           SDK  gt  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

I prefer using Simple Storage     For document file val documentFile   DocumentFileCompat fromUri context  uri  val path   documentFile absolutePath    e g   storage emulated 0 Music Torisetsu mp3     For media file val mediaFile   MediaFile context  uri  val path   mediaFile absolutePath    e g   storage emulated 0 Music My Love mp3  To check whether the URI is media file or document file  use isMediaDocument extension function  val isMediaFile   uri isMediaDocument

The PathUtil method will be only working in below oreo and if it is oreo than it is likely to crash because in oreo we will not get the id but the entire path in data getData   so all u need to do is create a file from uri and get its path from getPath   and split it below is the working code -  Uri uri   data getData     File file   new File uri getPath      create path from uri final String   split   file getPath   split        split the path  filePath   split 1    assign it to a string your choice     The above code will work in oreo and if it is below oreo than PathUtil will work Thanks   String filePath PathUtil getPath context yourURI     PathUtil java  import android annotation SuppressLint   import android content ContentUris   import android content Context   import android database Cursor   import android net Uri   import android os Build   import android os Environment   import android provider DocumentsContract  import android provider MediaStore   import java net URISyntaxException          Created by Aki on 1 7 2017       public class PathUtil                 Gets the file path of the given Uri               SuppressLint  NewApi       public static String getPath Context context  Uri uri  throws URISyntaxException           final boolean needToCheckUri   Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   19          String selection   null          String   selectionArgs   null             Uri is different in versions after KITKAT  Android 4 4   we need to            deal with different Uris          if  needToCheckUri  amp  amp  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                   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                            else if   file  equalsIgnoreCase uri getScheme                   return uri getPath                      return null                          param uri The Uri to check          return Whether the Uri authority is ExternalStorageProvider              public static boolean isExternalStorageDocument Uri uri            return  com android externalstorage documents  equals uri getAuthority                            param uri The Uri to check          return Whether the Uri authority is DownloadsProvider              public static boolean isDownloadsDocument Uri uri            return  com android providers downloads documents  equals uri getAuthority                            param uri The Uri to check          return Whether the Uri authority is MediaProvider              public static boolean isMediaDocument Uri uri            return  com android providers media documents  equals uri getAuthority

We all agree that SAF is horribly designed and slow  but Google has been pushing us to it  Given that getExternalStorageDirectory   had been long deprecated  and possibly won t work since 11  I would rather not using these solutions  as it is one update away from crashing
