Deprecated android method replacement getPath()

Question

I have this getPath method, it works, but I want to get rid of the warning because it says that the managedQuery method is deprecated. How can I implement this exact getPath method with no warnings? Thank you.

public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        System.out.println("IM IN getPath");
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        int column_index = cursor
                .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }

EDIT: Im getting this logcat error now:

You can just replace it by getContentResolver.query()

so it will look like this.

public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        System.out.println("IM IN getPath");
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        int column_index = cursor
                .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }

thanks that worked but Im getting a logcat error now (see edit). Its not affecting my program but I still think that it should be taken care of. Maybe. – Ogen Oct 23 '13 at 07:21
I think that error has nothing to do with the code above. see this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11308260/chooseractivity-has-leaked-intentreceiver or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14190551/chooseractivity-has-leaked-intentreceiver-com-android-internal-app-resolveractiv – blitzen12 Oct 23 '13 at 07:33

Try this - it works

fun getPath(context: Context?, uri: Uri?): String? {
    print(uri)
    if (uri == null)
        return null
    
    val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)
    val cursor: Cursor? = context?.contentResolver?.query(uri, projection, null, null, null)
    val path = if (cursor != null) {
        val columnIndex: Int = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)
        cursor.moveToFirst()
        cursor.getString(columnIndex)
    } else null
    cursor?.close()
    return path
}

New Problem "'DATA: String' is deprecated. Deprecated in Java Q"

MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA
