With Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE I get this uri :

content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/tree/downloads

How can I convert it to /storage/emulated/0/Download - the real path? I don't want use

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)

because is deprecated.

EDIT : I need real path of public location for downloads, because on android Q, this is the folder where should be stored public documents.

realpath directory android download

Based on the docs, use DCIM/... for the RELATIVE_PATH, where ... is whatever your custom subdirectory would be. So, you would wind up with something like this:

  val resolver = context.contentResolver
  val contentValues = ContentValues().apply {
    put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, "CuteKitten001")
    put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg")
    put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, "DCIM/PerracoLabs")
  }

  val uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues)

  resolver.openOutputStream(uri).use {
    // TODO something with the stream
  }

Note that since RELATIVE_PATH is new to API Level 29, you would need to use this approach on newer devices and use getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() on older ones.
