        Uri uri = data.getData();
        Log.e("", "Video URI= " + getRealPathFromURI(context, 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();
        }
    }
}

It is not necessary for a URI to content a file path with it. But if there is a file path attached with the URI you can draw it using this solution.
