How to extract the file name from URI returned from Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT?

Question

I am using 3rd party file manager to pick a file (PDF in my case) from the file system.

This is how I launch the activity:

Intent i         


        

Answer 1

If you want it short this should work.

Uri uri= data.getData();
File file= new File(uri.getPath());
file.getName();
