Get file path from URI

Question

I have Uri for Image file. I use this code for gets file path from Uri: ``` public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) { Cursor cursor = null; try { String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA }; cursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null); int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA); cursor.moveToFirst(); return cursor.getString(column_index); } catch (Exception e) { Log.message(e.getMessage()); } finally { if (cursor != null) { cursor.close(); } } return null; } ``` If I choose image from Gallery app(Android 4.4.2, arm-emu), ``` uri.getPath = /external/images/media/16 and it work's fine (My file path: /storage/sdcard/Download/0_cf15a_7800a7e5_orig.jpg) ``` If I choose image from Documents app(Android 4.4.2, arm-emu), ``` I have uri.getPath = /document/image:16 and function getRealPathFromURI returns null. ``` How I can return correct path to file for boths action? My Code Is:- ``` @Override public void o…

```
    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);
    }
