title: android get the full path of selected file
body: <p>Hi I am writing an application where it should appear in the share list when user long press or select a file ( any type of file with or without extension) and my application should take details (i think URI) and should able to convert it to an absolute path.</p>
  
  <p>as an example if user selects a image file by long pressing or selection enabling share option, I was able to show my application. </p>
  
  <p>When I print the URI in my app as toast it shows path like "content://media...../24" which is not an absolute path.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone through many options but I haven't get an clear idea of how to get an absolute path. My app should support 4.0 onwards.</p>
  
  <p>Need follow 
  1. able to collect the input in my application and it should convert it to absolute path (as shown in an file explorer)</p>
  
  <ol start="2">
  <li><p>If user selects a folder, I should be able to achieve same as 1.</p></li>
  <li><p>Once I achieve this, I should show again as list entry. On selection of entry it should allow to show list of available applications in order to open the path.</p></li>
  </ol>
