How to reterive the name of the uri android

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

intent = getIntent();

   Uri contactUri = intent.getData();
                    if(contactUri!= null) {
                getSupportActionBar().setTitle(contactUri.getPath());

}

What I have tried:

getPath() or getname() i am trying to reteive the name of the file but instead of returning the real name of file, it is returning some numeric nummbers. When i use getPath() it is returning something like /external/file/36587 instead of real name of file such as xyx.pdf. Can someone help me to return the real name of the file.please.

What does contactUri contain after the call to getData?

The actual file contents, or just the relative/absolute path to/of the file?

Don't know but actually the file path.
/internal storage/downloads/xyx.pdf

That is not what is contained in the String object named contactUri. Or if it is then it is little wonder the code fails.
