Thank you so much guys. I have it working as below...
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null,
null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
String absoluteFilePath = cursor.getString(idx);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(absoluteFilePath);
... and so on
Regards,
Abhi
