For Kotlin  Just create a new file with name URIPathHelper kt  Then copy and paste the following Utility class in your file  It covers all scenarios and works perfectly for all Android versions  Its explanation will be discussed later  package com mvp handyopinion  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  class URIPathHelper        fun getPath context  Context  uri  Uri   String            val isKitKatorAbove   Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES KITKAT             DocumentProvider         if  isKitKatorAbove  amp  amp  DocumentsContract isDocumentUri context  uri                    ExternalStorageProvider             if  isExternalStorageDocument uri                     val docId   DocumentsContract getDocumentId uri                  val split   docId split  quot   quot  toRegex    toTypedArray                   val type   split 0                  if   quot primary quot  equals type  ignoreCase   true                         return Environment getExternalStorageDirectory   toString      quot   quot    split 1                                   else if  isDownloadsDocument uri                     val id   DocumentsContract getDocumentId uri                  val contentUri   ContentUris withAppendedId Uri parse  quot content   downloads public downloads quot    java lang Long valueOf id                   return getDataColumn context  contentUri  null  null                else if  isMediaDocument uri                     val docId   DocumentsContract getDocumentId uri                  val split   docId split  quot   quot  toRegex    toTypedArray                   val type   split 0                  var contentUri  Uri    null                 if   quot image quot     type                        contentUri   MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                   else if   quot video quot     type                        contentUri   MediaStore Video Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                   else if   quot audio quot     type                        contentUri   MediaStore Audio Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                                   val selection    quot  id   quot                  val selectionArgs   arrayOf split 1                   return getDataColumn context  contentUri  selection  selectionArgs                          else if   quot content quot  equals uri scheme  ignoreCase   true                 return getDataColumn context  uri  null  null            else if   quot file quot  equals uri scheme  ignoreCase   true                 return uri path                   return null            fun getDataColumn context  Context  uri  Uri   selection  String   selectionArgs  Array lt String gt     String            var cursor  Cursor    null         val column    quot  data quot          val projection   arrayOf column          try               cursor   context getContentResolver   query uri  projection  selection  selectionArgs null              if  cursor    null  amp  amp  cursor moveToFirst                      val column index  Int   cursor getColumnIndexOrThrow column                  return cursor getString column index                          finally               if  cursor    null  cursor close                     return null            fun isExternalStorageDocument uri  Uri   Boolean           return  quot com android externalstorage documents quot     uri authority            fun isDownloadsDocument uri  Uri   Boolean           return  quot com android providers downloads documents quot     uri authority            fun isMediaDocument uri  Uri   Boolean           return  quot com android providers media documents quot     uri authority          How to Use URIPathHelper class to get path from URI val uriPathHelper   URIPathHelper   val filePath   uriPathHelper getPath this  YOUR URI OBJECT

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
