  • you need to add run time permission for that beacuse **Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.** [read more from docs](https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html) – AskNilesh Sep 13 '17 at 10:28

There is no path, because there is no file. ACTION_GET_CONTENT does not have much to do with files.

If you absolutely need a file and absolutely need a path, do not use ACTION_GET_CONTENT. Instead, use a library and embed a file picker in your app.
