Get filename and path from URI from mediastore

Question

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

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

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

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  gt   Build VERSION CODES KITKAT              DocumentProvider         if  isKitKat  amp  amp  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 docId   DocumentsContract getDocumentId uri                   final String   split   docId split                       final String type   split 0                    Uri contentUri   null                  if   image  equals type                         contentUri   MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                    else if   video  equals type                         contentUri   MediaStore Video Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                    else if   audio  equals type                         contentUri   MediaStore Audio Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI                                     final String selection     id                     final String   selectionArgs   new String                            split 1                                         Cursor cursor   null                     final String column     data                      final String   projection                           column                                 try               cursor   context getContentResolver   query uri  projection  selection  selectionArgs                      null               if  cursor    null  amp  amp  cursor moveToFirst                      final int column index   cursor getColumnIndexOrThrow column                   return cursor getString column index                           finally               if  cursor    null                  cursor close                      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         private 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  amp  amp  cursor moveToFirst                      final int column index   cursor getColumnIndexOrThrow column                   return cursor getString column index                           finally               if  cursor    null                  cursor close                      return null

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

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

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

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    amp  amp  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
