Getting the Absolute File Path from Content Uri For Searched Images

Getting the Absolute File Path from Content URI for searched images

If you absolutely need a local copy of the file, you are going to need to open the InputStream copy the contents to a local file that you know the path to and then go from there. Sidenote: Guava's ByteStreams#copy is an easy way to accomplish this.

Of course this file is no longer backed by the original Uri source, so I don't think this is what you want. Instead, you should work with the Uri's intended API. Take a look at the Storage Access Framework

Edit

Here is how you can get an InputStream from your Uri

InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

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));

Get filename and path from URI from mediastore

Below API 19 use this code to get File Path from URI:

public String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
  Cursor cursor = null;
  try { 
    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    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);
  } finally {
    if (cursor != null) {
      cursor.close();
    }
  }
}

Get the path of an image stored in android phone gallery

Pass the uri that you are getting in onActivityResult and use the returned String.

public String getPathFromURI(Uri ContentUri) {
    String res = null;
    String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
            .query(ContentUri, proj, null, null, null);

    if (cursor != null) {
        cursor.moveToFirst();

        res = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
        cursor.close();
    }


    return res;
}
