android - How to get file name and real path of Google drive document?

Question

I am using the following code to get the file name and path of files in the File Manager. However it does not return a path for Google Drive files. Any idea how to obtain the actual path?

My code -

public String getFilePath() {
    if (uri.getScheme().equalsIgnoreCase("file")) {
        return uri.getLastPathSegment();
    }

    cursorLoader.setUri(uri);
    cursorLoader.setProjection(projections);
    Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    String realPath = cursor.getString(column_index);
    cursor.close();

    if (realPath == null || realPath.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    }

return null;
}

You have to use the URI. Through the URI you can getContentResolver.query(theUriThatYouHave, null, null, null, null). Now that you have a cursor, you can check column names etc.

For Google drive there is a column name _display_name. This will give you the file name.

Now you want access to the file? You can open an InputStream to the URI via getContentResolver().openInputStream(theUriThatYouHave).
