How to get the file path with extension?

You don't. There is no requirement that the user select a piece of content that is saved as a file in a place that you have read access to. And there is no requirement that a ContentProvider offer some means of translating a Uri to a file path.

Use ContentResolver and openInputStream() to read in the content identified by the Uri.
