Get real path from URI, Android KitKat new storage access framework [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here is an updated version of Paul Burke's answer. In versions below Android 4.4 (KitKat) we don't have the DocumentsContract class.

In order to work on versions below KitKat create this class:

public class DocumentsContract {
    private static final String DOCUMENT_URIS =
        "com.android.providers.media.documents " +
        "com.android.externalstorage.documents " +
        "com.android.providers.downloads.documents " +
        "com.android.providers.media.documents";

    private static final String PATH_DOCUMENT = "document";
    private static final String TAG = DocumentsContract.class.getSimpleName();

    public static String getDocumentId(Uri documentUri) {
        final List paths = documentUri.getPathSegments();
        if (paths.size() < 2) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not a document: " + documentUri);
        }

        if (!PATH_DOCUMENT.equals(paths.get(0))) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not a document: " + documentUri);
        }
        return paths.get(1);
    }

    public static boolean isDocumentUri(Uri uri) {
        final List paths = uri.getPathSegments();
        Logger.v(TAG, "paths[" + paths + "]");
        if (paths.size() < 2) {
            return false;
        }
        if (!PATH_DOCUMENT.equals(paths.get(0))) {
            return false;
        }
        return DOCUMENT_URIS.contains(uri.getAuthority());
    }
}
