Solution 1:

Update your getPath method

public String generatePath(Uri uri,Context context) {
        String filePath = null;
        final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;
        if(isKitKat){
            filePath = generateFromKitkat(uri,context);
        }

        if(filePath != null){
            return filePath;
        }

        Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[] { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA }, null, null, null);

        if (cursor != null) {
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
                filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            }
            cursor.close();
        }
        return filePath == null ? uri.getPath() : filePath;
    }

    @TargetApi(19)
    private String generateFromKitkat(Uri uri,Context context){
        String filePath = null;
        if(DocumentsContract.isDocumentUri(context, uri)){
            String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(uri);

            String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];

            String[] column = { Media.DATA };
            String sel = Media._ID + "=?";

            Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().
                    query(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                            column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);



            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);

            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            }

            cursor.close();
        }
        return filePath;
    }
