How to extract the file name from URI returned from Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT?

Question

I am using 3rd party file manager to pick a file (PDF in my case) from the file system.

This is how I launch the activity:

Intent i

public String getFilename() 
{
/*  Intent intent = getIntent();
    String name = intent.getData().getLastPathSegment();
    return name;*/
    Uri uri=getIntent().getData();
    String fileName = null;
    Context context=getApplicationContext();
    String scheme = uri.getScheme();
    if (scheme.equals("file")) {
        fileName = uri.getLastPathSegment();
    }
    else if (scheme.equals("content")) {
        String[] proj = { MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE };
        Uri contentUri = null;
        Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, proj, null, null, null);
        if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() != 0) {
            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.TITLE);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            fileName = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
        }
    }
    return fileName;
}
