I solved it. Simply call this getPathFromURI method and it will return the file path

object RealPathHelper {

private const val BUFFER_SIZE = 1024 * 2


@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
fun getPathFromURI(
    context: Context,
    contentUri: Uri,
    fileNamePrefix: String,
    defaultFileExtension: String
): String? {
    val uriPath: String = contentUri.path ?: return null
    val fileName: String = MediaFileHelper.getFileNameWithExtension(uriPath)

    if (fileName.isNotBlank()) {
        val destFile =
            createOutputFile(context, contentUri, fileNamePrefix, defaultFileExtension)
        copyUriToFile(context, contentUri, destFile)
        return destFile.absolutePath
    }
    return null
}

private fun createOutputFile(
    context: Context,
    contentUri: Uri,
    fileNamePrefix: String,
    defaultFileExtension: String
): File {
    var count = 0
    var file: File

    val uriPath: String? = contentUri.path
    val fileExtension = if (uriPath == null) defaultFileExtension
    else MediaFileHelper.getFileExtension(uriPath)

    do {
        count++

        val mFileName = "$fileNamePrefix${StringHelper.getUniqueId()}$count$fileExtension"
        val newFilePath =
            "${context.getExternalFilesDir(null)?.absolutePath}${context.getString(R.string.audio_select_directory)}/$mFileName"

        file = File(newFilePath)

    } while (file.exists() && !file.isDirectory)

    return file
}

private fun copyUriToFile(context: Context, srcUri: Uri, dstFile: File) {
    try {
        val inputStream = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(srcUri) ?: return
        val outputStream = FileOutputStream(dstFile)
        inputStream.copyTo(outputStream, BUFFER_SIZE)
        inputStream.close()
        outputStream.close()
    } catch (e: IOException) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    }
}
