Get Path from URI in Android.

media_to_uri.java

/*
Input: URI -- something like content://com.example.app.provider/table2/dataset1
Output: PATH -- something like /sdcard/DCIM/123242-image.jpg
*/
public String convertMediaUriToPath(Uri uri) {
	    String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
	    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, proj,  null, null, null);
	    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
	    cursor.moveToFirst();
	    String path = cursor.getString(column_index); 
	    cursor.close();
	    return path;
	}

I suggest u all to use a custom image or file picker for getting the path of file , as all this work is already done inside the library and all the errors are handled too.
For images u can checkout : pix

DATA is deprecated!
