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

This actually worked for me:

private String uri2filename() {

    String ret;
    String scheme = uri.getScheme();

    if (scheme.equals("file")) {
        ret = uri.getLastPathSegment();
    }
    else if (scheme.equals("content")) {
        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
        if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            ret = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME));
        }
   }
   return ret;
}
