How to get the Real Path of the Image Stored in sdcard

Generally the on Activity Result gives us the path in the form :-

Uri  imagePath = data.getData();
Content://media/external/images/media/1


To get the Real Path of the image or any other thing located in sdcard use this function.

Call this function with your URI path i.e of the type - Content://media/external/images/media/1



public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI){


String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentURI, proj, null, null, null);
        int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
       
}




Now it will give you the real path i.e :-
/mnt/sdcard/peng.jpg


which is generally required.
