How to get the Full file path from URI

The PathUtil method will be only working in below oreo and if it is oreo than it is likely to crash because in oreo we will not get the id but the entire path in data.getData() so all u need to do is create a file from uri and get its path from getPath() and split it.below is the working code:-

Uri uri = data.getData(); 
File file = new File(uri.getPath());//create path from uri
final String[] split = file.getPath().split(":");//split the path.
filePath = split[1];//assign it to a string(your choice).

The above code will work in oreo and if it is below oreo than PathUtil will work.Thanks!

String filePath=PathUtil.getPath(context,yourURI);
