Question

I call startActivityForResult with Intent ACTION_GET_CONTENT. Some app returns me data with this Uri:

content://media/external/images/media/18122

I don’t know if it is image or video or some custom content. How do I use ContentResolver to get the actual file name or content title from this Uri?

Answer 1

You can get file name from this code, or any other field by modifying the projection

String[] projection = {MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA};

ContentResolver cr = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver();
Cursor metaCursor = cr.query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if (metaCursor != null) {
    try {
        if (metaCursor.moveToFirst()) {
            path = metaCursor.getString(0);
        }
    } finally {
        metaCursor.close();
    }
}
return path;
