This is what I do   Uri selectedImageURI   data getData    imageFile   new File getRealPathFromURI selectedImageURI      and   private String getRealPathFromURI Uri contentURI        String result      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            cursor moveToFirst             int idx   cursor getColumnIndex MediaStore Images ImageColumns DATA            result   cursor getString idx           cursor close              return result      NOTE  managedQuery   method is deprecated  so I am not using it   Last edit  Improvement  We should close cursor

Is it really necessary for you to get a physical path  For example  ImageView setImageURI   and ContentResolver openInputStream   allow you to access the contents of a file without knowing its real path

Note This is an improvement in  user3516549 answer and I have check it on Moto G3 with Android 6 0 1 I have this issue so I have tried answer of  user3516549 but in some cases it was not working properly  I have found that in Android 6 0 or above  when we start gallery image pick intent then a screen will open that shows recent images when user select image from this list we will get uri as content   com android providers media documents document image 3A52530  while if user select gallery from sliding drawer instead of recent then we will get uri as content   media external images media 52530  So I have handle it in getRealPathFromURI API19   public static String getRealPathFromURI API19 Context context  Uri uri            String filePath    quot  quot           if  uri getHost   contains  quot com android providers media quot                     Image pick from recent              String wholeID   DocumentsContract getDocumentId uri                   Split at colon  use second item in the array             String id   wholeID split  quot   quot   1                String   column    MediaStore Images Media DATA                   where id is equal to             String sel   MediaStore Images Media  ID    quot    quot                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            else                  image pick from gallery             return  getRealPathFromURI BelowAPI11 context uri                    EDIT1   if you are trying to get image path of file in external sdcard in higher version then check my question EDIT2 Here is complete code with handling virtual files and host other than com android providers I have tested this method with content   com adobe scan android documents document

Rene Juuse - above in comments    Thanks for this link      the code to get the real path is a bit different from one SDK to another so below we have three methods that deals with different SDKs   getRealPathFromURI API19    returns real path for API 19  or above but not tested  getRealPathFromURI API11to18    returns real path for API 11 to API 18 getRealPathFromURI below11    returns real path for API below 11  public class RealPathUtil     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       font  http   hmkcode com android-display-selected-image-and-its-real-path     UPDATE 2016 March  To fix all problems with path of images i try create a custom gallery as facebook  and other apps  This is because you can use just local files   real files  not virtual or temporary    i solve all problems with this library   https   github com nohana Laevatein   this library is to take photo from camera or choose from galery   if you choose from gallery he have a drawer with albums and just show local files

EDIT  Use this Solution here  https   stackoverflow com a 20559175 2033223 Works perfect   First of  thank for your solution  luizfelipetx  I changed your solution a little bit  This works for me   public static String getRealPathFromDocumentUri Context context  Uri uri       String filePath            Pattern p   Pattern compile     d           Matcher m   p matcher uri toString         if   m find              Log e ImageConverter class getSimpleName     ID for requested image not found      uri toString             return filePath            String imgId   m group         String   column     MediaStore Images Media DATA        String sel   MediaStore Images Media  ID              Cursor cursor   context getContentResolver   query MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI              column  sel  new String    imgId    null        int columnIndex   cursor getColumnIndex column 0         if  cursor moveToFirst              filePath   cursor getString columnIndex             cursor close         return filePath      Note  So we got documents and image  depending  if the image comes from  recents    gallery  or what ever  So I extract the image ID first before looking it up
