You can retrieve file path from localUri like this:

public static String getFilePathFromUri(Context c, Uri uri) {
    String filePath = null;
    if ("content".equals(uri.getScheme())) {
        String[] filePathColumn = { MediaColumns.DATA };
        ContentResolver contentResolver = c.getContentResolver();

        Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, filePathColumn, null,
                null, null);

        cursor.moveToFirst();

        int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
        filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
        cursor.close();
    } else if ("file".equals(uri.getScheme())) {
        filePath = new File(uri.getPath()).getAbsolutePath();
    }
    return filePath;
}
