Remarks
Absolute filesystem path to the media item on disk.
Apps may use this path to do file operations. However, they should not assume that the file is always available. Apps must be prepared to handle any file-based I/O errors that could occur.
From Android 11 onwards, this column is read-only for apps that target android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R R and higher. On those devices, when creating or updating a uri, this column's value is not accepted. Instead, to update the filesystem location of a file, use the values of the #DISPLAY_NAME and #RELATIVE_PATH columns.
Though direct file operations are supported, ContentResolver#openFileDescriptor(Uri, String) API is recommended for better performance.
