How I can get the mime type of a file having its Uri?

I have a List of Uris obtained with the Gallery and the Camera. These Uris are like this: content://media/external/images/media/94. How I can get its mime type?

You can try

ContentResolver cR = context.getContentResolver();
MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
String type = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(cR.getType(uri));

Edit :

mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(cR.getType(uri)) 

returns -> "jpeg"

cR.getType(uri);

returns "image/jpeg" that is the expected value.

This method returns the extension of the file (jpg, png, pdf, epub etc..).

 public static String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) {
    String extension;

    //Check uri format to avoid null
    if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
        //If scheme is a content
        final MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
        extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(context.getContentResolver().getType(uri));
    } else {
        //If scheme is a File
        //This will replace white spaces with %20 and also other special characters. This will avoid returning null values on file name with spaces and special characters.
        extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(new File(uri.getPath())).toString());

    }

    return extension;
}

for Content Uri.

ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
mimeType = cr.getType(contentUri);

for File Uri.

String fileExtension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(fileUri
            .toString());
mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(
            fileExtension.toLowerCase());

for Both, works for Content as well as File.

public String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) {
    String mimeType = null;
    if (ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT.equals(uri.getScheme())) {
        ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
        mimeType = cr.getType(uri);
    } else {
        String fileExtension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(uri
                .toString());
        mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(
                fileExtension.toLowerCase());
    }
    return mimeType;
}

Instead of this:

String type = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(cR.getType(uri));

Do this:

String type = cR.getType(uri);

And you will get this: image/jpeg.
