How to get PDF File Path In Android 11 and 12

Issue

I tried much code for getting pdf path in android 11 or 12 but only working in android 10 or below devices. Can you please help me? I share my code of lines

Intent calling like this

Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("application/pdf");
            statusAdapter = "pdf";
            pos = position;
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            someActivityResultLauncher.launch(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select PDF"));

someActivityResultLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
                new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
                result -> {
                    if (result.getResultCode() == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                        // There are no request codes
                        Intent data = result.getData();
                        if (data == null) {
                            //error
                            return;
                        }
                        try {
                            final Uri pdfUri= data.getData();
                            File pdfFile = new File(getPath(pdfUri));
                            long length = pdfFile.length();
                            length = length / 1024;
                            Toast.makeText(CreateSubEventActivity.this, "File Path : " + pdfFile.getPath() + ", File size : " + length + " KB", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//                            uploadFile(imageFile);
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                            Toast.makeText(CreateSubEventActivity.this, "Something went wrong", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                    }
                });

getPath calling like this

public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        if (cursor == null) return null;
        int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        String s = cursor.getString(column_index);
        cursor.close();
        return s;
    }

Solution

If you want to access a File or want a file path from a Uri that was returned from MediaStore, I have got a library that handles all the exceptions you might get. This includes all files on the disk, internal and removable disk. When selecting a File from Dropbox, for example, the File will be copied to your applications directory where you have full access, the copied file path will then be returned.
