I have an onActivityResult returning from an mediastore image selection which I can get a URI for an image using the following:
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
Converting this to a string gives this:
content://media/external/images/media/47
Or to a path gives:
/external/images/media/47
However I can't seem to find a way to convert this into an absolute path, as I want to load the image into a bitmap without having to copy it somewhere. I know this can be done using the URI and content resolver, but this seems to break on rebooting of the phone, I guess MediaStore doesn't keep its numbering the same between reboots.
This question is related to

Just a simple update on the first answer: mActivity.managedQuery() is now deprecated. I've updated the code with the new method.
private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(mContext, 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;
}
Don't try to find a uri in the filesystem, that's slow to go look things up in the database.
You can get a bitmap from a uri by giving an input stream to the factory like you give a file to the factory:
InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
is.close();
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
Check below method is working awesome also Oreo 8.1 ..

As an add-on, if you need to see if a file exists before you try to open an input stream, you can use the DocumentsContract.
(Kotlin code)
var iStream = null
if(DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context,myUri)) {
val pfd: ParcelFileDescriptor? = context.contentResolver.openFileDescriptor(
myUri, "r") ?: return null
iStream = ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseInputStream(pfd)
}
After getting an image from the gallery, just pass the URI in the below method only for Android 4.4 (KitKat):
public String getPath(Uri contentUri) {// Will return "image:x*"
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(contentUri);
// 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 = getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.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;
}
Still, if you are getting the problem to get the real path, you can try my answers. Above answers didn't help me.
Explanation:- This method gets the URI and then check the API level of your Android device after that according to API level it will generate the Real path. Code for generating real path method is different according to API levels.
method to get the Real path from URI
@SuppressLint("ObsoleteSdkInt")
public String getPathFromURI(Uri uri){
String realPath="";
// SDK < API11
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
@SuppressLint("Recycle") Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = 0;
String result="";
if (cursor != null) {
column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
realPath=cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
// SDK >= 11 && SDK < 19
else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19){
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(this, uri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
if(cursor != null){
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
realPath = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}
// SDK > 19 (Android 4.4)
else{
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 = getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
int columnIndex = 0;
if (cursor != null) {
columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
realPath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
}
}
return realPath;
}
Use this method like this
Log.e(TAG, "getRealPathFromURI: "+getPathFromURI(your_selected_uri) );
Output:-
04-06 12:39:46.993 6138-6138/com.app.qtm E/tag: getRealPathFromURI: /storage/emulated/0/Video/avengers_infinity_war_4k_8k-7680x4320.jpg
None of these answers worked for me in all cases. I had to go directly to Google's Documentation https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html on this topic and found this useful method:
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;
}
You can use this bitmap to display it in an Image View.
Things are complicated now especially after API level 29 Android Q. This is how you should get filename from the content Uri
public static String getNameFromContentUri(Context context, Uri contentUri){
Cursor returnCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, null, null, null, null);
int nameColumnIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
returnCursor.moveToFirst();
String fileName = returnCursor.getString(nameColumnIndex);
return fileName;}
and this is how you get full path of the Content Uri for all android versions
public static String getFullPathFromContentUri(final Context context, final Uri uri) {
final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
// DocumentProvider
if (isKitKat && DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)) {
// ExternalStorageProvider
if ("com.android.externalstorage.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority())) {
final String docId = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);
final String[] split = docId.split(":");
final String type = split[0];
if ("primary".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) {
return Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + split[1];
}
// TODO handle non-primary volumes
}
// DownloadsProvider
else if ("com.android.providers.downloads.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority())) {
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);
}
// MediaProvider
else if ("com.android.providers.media.documents".equals(uri.getAuthority())) {

final String[] split = docId.split(":");

}
return null;

}
// MediaStore (and general)
else if ("content".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return getDataColumn(context, uri, null, null);
}
// File
else if ("file".equalsIgnoreCase(uri.getScheme())) {
return uri.getPath();
}
return null;
}

Good existing answers, some of which I used to come up with my own:
I have to get the path from URIs and get the URI from paths, and Google has a hard time telling the difference so for anyone who has the same issue (e.g., to get the thumbnail from the MediaStore of a video whose physical location you already have). The former:
/**
* Gets the corresponding path to a file from the given content:// URI
* @param selectedVideoUri The content:// URI to find the file path from
* @param contentResolver The content resolver to use to perform the query.
* @return the file path as a string
*/
private String getFilePathFromContentUri(Uri selectedVideoUri,
ContentResolver contentResolver) {
String filePath;
String[] filePathColumn = {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;
}
The latter (which I do for videos, but can also be used for Audio or Files or other types of stored content by substituting MediaStore.Audio (etc) for MediaStore.Video):
/**
* Gets the MediaStore video ID of a given file on external storage
* @param filePath The path (on external storage) of the file to resolve the ID of
* @param contentResolver The content resolver to use to perform the query.
* @return the video ID as a long
*/
private long getVideoIdFromFilePath(String filePath,
ContentResolver contentResolver) {
long videoId;
Log.d(TAG,"Loading file " + filePath);
// This returns us content://media/external/videos/media (or something like that)
// I pass in "external" because that's the MediaStore's name for the external
// storage on my device (the other possibility is "internal")
Uri videosUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.getContentUri("external");
Log.d(TAG,"videosUri = " + videosUri.toString());
String[] projection = {MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns._ID};
// TODO This will break if we have no matching item in the MediaStore.
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(videosUri, projection, MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns.DATA + " LIKE ?", new String[] { filePath }, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0]);
videoId = cursor.getLong(columnIndex);
Log.d(TAG,"Video ID is " + videoId);
cursor.close();
return videoId;
}
Basically, the DATA column of MediaStore (or whichever sub-section of it you're querying) stores the file path, so you either use what you know to look up that DATA field, or use the field to look up whatever else you want.
I then further use the Scheme as above to figure out what to do with my data:
private boolean getSelectedVideo(Intent imageReturnedIntent, boolean fromData) {
Uri selectedVideoUri;
//Selected image returned from another activity
// A parameter I pass myself to know whether or not I'm being "shared via" or
// whether I'm working internally to my app (fromData = working internally)
if(fromData){
selectedVideoUri = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
} else {
//Selected image returned from SEND intent
// which I register to receive in my manifest
// (so people can "share via" my app)
selectedVideoUri = (Uri)getIntent().getExtras().get(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
}
Log.d(TAG,"SelectedVideoUri = " + selectedVideoUri);
String filePath;
String scheme = selectedVideoUri.getScheme();
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
long videoId;
// If we are sent file://something or content://org.openintents.filemanager/mimetype/something...
if(scheme.equals("file") || (scheme.equals("content") && selectedVideoUri.getEncodedAuthority().equals("org.openintents.filemanager"))){
// Get the path
filePath = selectedVideoUri.getPath();
// Trim the path if necessary
// openintents filemanager returns content://org.openintents.filemanager/mimetype//mnt/sdcard/xxxx.mp4
if(filePath.startsWith("/mimetype/")){
String trimmedFilePath = filePath.substring("/mimetype/".length());
filePath = trimmedFilePath.substring(trimmedFilePath.indexOf("/"));
}
// Get the video ID from the path
videoId = getVideoIdFromFilePath(filePath, contentResolver);
} else if(scheme.equals("content")){
// If we are given another content:// URI, look it up in the media provider
videoId = Long.valueOf(selectedVideoUri.getLastPathSegment());
filePath = getFilePathFromContentUri(selectedVideoUri, contentResolver);
} else {
Log.d(TAG,"Failed to load URI " + selectedVideoUri.toString());
return false;
}
return true;
}
Since managedQuery has been deprecated, you could try:
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(context, uri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
Since the above answers didn't work for me, here is the solution that worked for me:
For both >19 and <=19 API Levels.
This method covers all the cases to get filePath from uri
/**
* Get a file path from a Uri. This will get the the path for Storage Access
* Framework Documents, as well as the _data field for the MediaStore and
* other file-based ContentProviders.
*

This solution works for every case:
It is too hard in some cases get the path from the URL. Then why do you need the path? To copy the file in other place? You don't need the path.
public void SavePhotoUri (Uri imageuri, String Filename){
File FilePath = context.getDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES,Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
try {
Bitmap selectedImage = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(context.getContentResolver(), imageuri);
String destinationImagePath = FilePath + "/" + Filename;
FileOutputStream destination = new FileOutputStream(destinationImagePath);
selectedImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, destination);
destination.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("error", e.toString());
}
}
Slightly modified version of @PercyPercy - it doesn't throw and just returns null if anything goes wrong:
public String getPathFromMediaUri(Context context, Uri uri) {
String result = null;
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int col = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
if (col >= 0 && cursor.moveToFirst())
result = cursor.getString(col);
cursor.close();
return result;
}

Perfectly working method to convert File URI into String filePath
For Oreo
Uri uri = data.getData();
File file = new File(uri.getPath());//create path from uri

filePath = split[1];//assign it to a string(your choice).
For All version below Oreo I have made this method which get real path from uri

API 19 and Above, Image File Path from Uri works perfectly. I also check this latest PIE API 28.
public String getImageFilePath(Uri uri) {
String path = null, image_id = null;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
image_id = cursor.getString(0);
image_id = image_id.substring(image_id.lastIndexOf(":") + 1);
cursor.close();
}
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ", new String[]{image_id}, null);
if (cursor!=null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
cursor.close();
}
return path;
}
I do this with a one liner:
val bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver, uri)
Which in the onActivityResult looks like:
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_IMAGE_PICKER ) {
data?.data?.let { imgUri: Uri ->
val bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver, imgUri)
}
}
}
Perfectly working for me fixed code from this post:
public static String getRealPathImageFromUri(Uri uri) {
String fileName =null;
if (uri.getScheme().equals("content")) {
try (Cursor cursor = MyApplication.getInstance().getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null)) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
fileName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
Log.e(mTag, "Get path failed", e);
}
}
return fileName;
}
This works for me perfectly if your system version is above 19, Hope this can help you.

Any way for past Android Q, when MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA won't be available anymore? This field is depreciated in Android Q:
This constant was deprecated in API level 29. Apps may not have filesystem permissions to directly access this path. Instead of trying to open this path directly, apps should use ContentResolver#openFileDescriptor(Uri, String) to gain access.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.MediaColumns.html#DATA
--- Edited
As far as I know for past Android Q the only way is to relay on RELATIVE_PATH
Relative path of this media item within the storage device where it is persisted. For example, an item stored at /storage/0000-0000/DCIM/Vacation/IMG1024.JPG would have a path of DCIM/Vacation/.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.MediaColumns.html#RELATIVE_PATH
public void getImageFilePath(Context context, Uri uri) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String image_id = cursor.getString(0);
image_id = image_id.substring(image_id.lastIndexOf(":") + 1);
cursor.close();
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ", new String[]{image_id}, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
cursor.close();
upLoadImageOrLogo(path);
}
Here you get the name of the file
String[] projection = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME};
Uri uri = data.getData();
String fileName = null;
ContentResolver cr = getActivity().getApplicationContext().getContentResolver();
Cursor metaCursor = cr.query(uri,
projection, null, null, null);
if (metaCursor != null) {
try {
if (metaCursor.moveToFirst()) {
fileName = metaCursor.getString(0);
}
} finally {
metaCursor.close();
}
}
Here I am going to show you that how to create a BROWSE button, which when you will click, it will open up the SD card, you will select a File and as a result you will get the file name and file path of the selected one:
browse.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
Uri startDir = Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard"));
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_REQUEST_CODE);
}
});
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
if (requestCode == PICK_REQUEST_CODE)
{
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
Uri uri = intent.getData();
if (uri.getScheme().toString().compareTo("content")==0)
{
Cursor cursor =getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst())
{
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);//Instead of "MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA" can be used "_data"
Uri filePathUri = Uri.parse(cursor.getString(column_index));
String file_name = filePathUri.getLastPathSegment().toString();
String file_path=filePathUri.getPath();
Toast.makeText(this,"File Name & PATH are:"+file_name+"\n"+file_path, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}
}
Solution for those, who have problem after moving to KitKat:
"This will get the file path from the MediaProvider, DownloadsProvider, and ExternalStorageProvider, while falling back to the unofficial ContentProvider method" https://stackoverflow.com/a/20559175/690777
Simple and easy. You can do this from the URI just like below!
public void getContents(Uri uri)
{
Cursor vidCursor = getActivity.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null,
null, null);
if (vidCursor.moveToFirst())
{
int column_index =
vidCursor .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
Uri filePathUri = Uri.parse(vidCursor .getString(column_index));
String video_name = filePathUri.getLastPathSegment().toString();
String file_path=filePathUri.getPath();
Log.i("TAG", video_name + "\b" file_path);
}
}
I've done like this:
Uri queryUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external");
String columnData = MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA;
String columnSize = MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.SIZE;
String[] projectionData = {MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA};
String name = null;
String size = null;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
if ((cursor != null)&&(cursor.getCount()>0)) {
int nameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
int sizeIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.SIZE);
cursor.moveToFirst();
name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);
size = cursor.getString(sizeIndex);
cursor.close();
}
if ((name!=null)&&(size!=null)){
String selectionNS = columnData + " LIKE '%" + name + "' AND " +columnSize + "='" + size +"'";
Cursor cursorLike = getContentResolver().query(queryUri, projectionData, selectionNS, null, null);
if ((cursorLike != null)&&(cursorLike.getCount()>0)) {
cursorLike.moveToFirst();
int indexData = cursorLike.getColumnIndex(columnData);
if (cursorLike.getString(indexData) != null) {
result = cursorLike.getString(indexData);
}
cursorLike.close();
}
}
return result;
Here it is my example of getting file name, from URI like file://... and content://... . It's works for me not only with Android MediaStore but also with third part application like EzExplorer.
public static String getFileNameByUri(Context context, Uri uri)
{
String fileName="unknown";//default fileName
Uri filePathUri = uri;
if (uri.getScheme().toString().compareTo("content")==0)
{
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst())
{
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);//Instead of "MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA" can be used "_data"
filePathUri = Uri.parse(cursor.getString(column_index));
fileName = filePathUri.getLastPathSegment().toString();
}
}
else if (uri.getScheme().compareTo("file")==0)
{
fileName = filePathUri.getLastPathSegment().toString();
}
else
{
fileName = fileName+"_"+filePathUri.getLastPathSegment();
}
return fileName;
}
