I tried
File file = new File(uri.getPath()) //and
File file = new File(uri.toString())

@snachmsm no. that works for files. I am working with directories – Noel Dallas Sep 09 '22 at 12:35

'I am working with directories" -- since your question does not contain a [mcve], I am going to guess that you are using `ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE` / `ActivityResultContracts.OpenDocumentTree`. There is no conversion to a `File` possible for that, in large part because there is nothing forcing the user to choose some directory on a filesystem that you can read from and write to. They could choose some document tree from a cloud storage provider, or an encrypted storage provider, or a network file server -- anything that has a `DocumentsProvider` registered on the device. – CommonsWare Sep 09 '22 at 13:52
