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

The most condensed version:

public String getNameFromURI(Uri uri) {
    Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
    c.moveToFirst();
    return c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
