Get picked image actual path Android 11,12

When I tried to pick an image from Gallery. The image path i get that was look like /documents/image:11

You can not upload that image with this URI. So this method will help you to getting the actual path.

fun getRealPathFromURI(uri: Uri, context: Context): String? {
    val returnCursor = context.contentResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null)
    val nameIndex =  returnCursor!!.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME)
    val sizeIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.SIZE)
    returnCursor.moveToFirst()
    val name = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex)
    val size = returnCursor.getLong(sizeIndex).toString()
    val file = File(context.filesDir, name)
    try {
        val inputStream: InputStream? = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(uri)
        val outputStream = FileOutputStream(file)
        var read = 0
        val maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024
        val bytesAvailable: Int = inputStream?.available() ?: 0
        //int bufferSize = 1024;
        val bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize)
        val buffers = ByteArray(bufferSize)
        while (inputStream?.read(buffers).also {
                if (it != null) {
                    read = it
                }
            } != -1) {
            outputStream.write(buffers, 0, read)
        }
        Log.e("File Size", "Size " + file.length())
        inputStream?.close()
        outputStream.close()
        Log.e("File Path", "Path " + file.path)
   
    } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
        Log.e("Exception", e.message!!)
    }
    return file.path
}

The function will give you actual path in the result.

Let’s fun. Happy coding :)
