I need to pick files from the device,

Here is my code,

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        intent.setType("*/*");
        String[] mimeTypes = {"image/*", "application/pdf"};
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, mimeTypes);
        startActivityForResult(intent, PICK);

The picked URIs url always like this on Android 10 devices,

content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/msf:75878

I tried many different solutions to get the file path from this URI but with no luck,

Note: my app works perfectly on pre-Android 10 devices and I am able to get the picked files paths.

using paths is deprecated for a long time, it was finally disabled in android 10 – Daniel Sep 24 '19 at 09:53

Did you find answer for this.. I am also struggling to get that on Android 10. – Swapnil Kale Jan 24 '20 at 21:56
@SwapnilKale on Android 10 no paths are deprecated, instead, use the picked file URI, intent.getData() – Omar Hassan Jan 26 '20 at 11:20
This question is also interesting for apps the acts like files manager. I couldn't think of a way to retrieve files paths. =/ – Augusto Carmo Jan 29 '20 at 18:18
