Difference Between .Getpath() VS Cursor in Getting the Real Path of a File from Uri in Android

How to get the Full file path from URI

Use:

String path = yourAndroidURI.uri.getPath() // "/mnt/sdcard/FileName.mp3"
File file = new File(new URI(path));

or

String path = yourAndroidURI.uri.toString() // "file:///mnt/sdcard/FileName.mp3"
File file = new File(new URI(path));

android get real path by Uri.getPath()

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.
