I am using cursor to get the path of image chosen from the gallery, but I am getting null from here,

object ImageUtil {
    fun getGalleryImagePath(context: Context, uri: Uri): String? {
        var cursor: Cursor? = null

        return try {
            val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)
            cursor = context.contentResolver.query(uri!!, projection, null, null, null)
            val column_index = cursor!!.getColumnIndexOrThrow(projection[0])
            cursor.moveToFirst()
            cursor.getString(column_index)
        } finally {
            cursor?.close()
        }
    }
}

I am getting the uri from intent data and in the function it is not null, still the query cannot find any path. The uri is coming here like this content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A121080

Dont try to get a path. Use that content uri directly to open the file. You will not do anything special with the file that you need a path. Do you? – blackapps Mar 08 '20 at 11:24
I have written the uri I'm getting – SuvodipMondal Mar 08 '20 at 12:18
Yes. I had seen it already of course. Nice uri. Use it. – blackapps Mar 08 '20 at 12:21
Yeah and it is not correct, no file exist in that uri – SuvodipMondal Mar 08 '20 at 18:27
