How to get any File Path ,Name ,Extension from onActivityResult?

It return the file extention like pdf, doc .. etc

 public static String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) { String extension; if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) { final MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton(); extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(context.getContentResolver().getType(uri)); } else { extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(new File(uri.getPath())).toString()); } return extension; } 

It returns you the real path where you get the file name. One friend use this way and it is really useful.

Get filename and path from URI from mediastore

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(); } } } 

You get file name from this

public String getFileName(Uri uri) { String result = null; if (uri.getScheme().equals("content")) { Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null); try { if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) { result = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME)); } } finally { cursor.close(); } } if (result == null) { result = uri.getPath(); int cut = result.lastIndexOf('/'); if (cut != -1) { result = result.substring(cut + 1); } } return result; } 

I am late but it can help others here is the solution.

 Uri uri = data.getData(); ContentResolver cr = this.getContentResolver(); String mime = cr.getType(uri); 

you can use like this

@Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) { Uri selectedImage = data.getData(); String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA }; Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, filePathColumn, null, null, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]); String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex); cursor.close(); } } 

Once try as follows if the FileReturnedIntent contains File as extras

Bundle data1=FileReturnedIntent.getExtras(); File f=(File)data1.get(key); String path=f.getAbsolutePath(); System.out.println("The file path along with extension is : "+path); 

Hope this will helps you.

Nova day in Kotlin:

val myFile = File(data?.data!!.path) 

for any file name from any path you can use this method :

public static String getFileNameFromPath(String path) { String reverse = new StringBuilder(path).reverse().toString(); StringBuilder name = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i < reverse.length(); i++) { if (reverse.charAt(i) == '/') break; name.append(reverse.charAt(i)); } return name.reverse().toString(); }
