Convert file: Uri to File in Android

Question

What's the easiest way to convert from a file: android.net.Uri to a File in Android?

Tried the following but it doesn't work:

 final File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "read.me");
 Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
 File auxFile = new File(uri.toString());
 assertEquals(file.getAbsolutePath(), auxFile.getAbsolutePath());

Answer 1

EDIT: Sorry, I should have tested better before. This should work:

new File(new URI(androidURI.toString()));

URI is java.net.URI.
