how to get absolute path from pick file in android device?

Question

i try many way but intent not return path that i want , how can i get absolute path ?

this is which i retrieved

/document/image:29163

code for intent

  binding.buttonSetVoiceGallery.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setType("*/*");
                intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
            }
        });

when activityresult

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            Log.d(TAG,data.getData().getPath());
        }
    }

Use the uri directly. There is no need to try to get a file system path.. — blackapps, Jul 26 '21 at 04:09

Try this code for getting absolute path:

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            Log.d(TAG,data.getData().getPath());
            Object objImg = data.getExtras().get("path");
            Log.e("Selected", "" + objImg.toString());
            /*--getting image uri from object--*/
            Uri selectedImage = Uri.parse(String.valueOf(objImg));
            Log.e("Selected Image", "" + selectedImage);
            /*--create file object using uri--*/
            File myFile = new File(selectedImage.getPath());
            String path = myFile.getAbsolutePath();
            Log.e("AbsolutePath---", ""+path);
        }
    }
