How to convert this Uri /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20200106_121447.jpg  to File ?

[Jamie Craane]

What do you want to do with it?

You can create an InputStream from the Uri like:

InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

and then copy the contents to a File in the application cache or temp folder for example.

File(path)

File(path) will fail if you don't have SD card permissions and will 100% fail on Android 10, use only content resolver as Jamie recommended
