Try this to get data as well as file path and insert into folder.

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    try {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
        {
            nav = data.getData();
            String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
            Cursor cursor = managedQuery(nav, projection, null, null, null);
            int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            String path= cursor.getString(column_index);
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), path, 500).show();
            mBitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), nav);
            insert(mBitmap);

            if (mBitmap != null) {  
                mBitmap.recycle();  
                mBitmap = null;  
            } 
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
private void insert(Bitmap finalBitmap) {
    File myDir=new File("/sdcard/saved_images");
    myDir.mkdirs();

    Random generator = new Random();
    int n = 10000;
    n = generator.nextInt(n);
    String fname = "Image-"+ n +".jpg";
    File file = new File (myDir, fname);
    if (file.exists ()) file.delete (); 
    try {
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
        out.flush();
        out.close();
        File dstFile = new File(file.getParent(), "." + file.getName());
        file.renameTo(dstFile);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
