How to pick video or image from gallery and get its path according to Android 10 (API Level 29) as Mediastore.Video.Media.DATA is deprecated

Question

I'm trying to pick video from gallery and want to get it's real path. But in the code it's showing Mediastore.Video.Media.DATA id deprecated in API Level 29. So please help me to find out the solution.

Here is my Video Picker Code:

    val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
startActivityForResult(i, videoCode)

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
    if (requestCode == videoCode && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        videoPath = getPathFromUri(data!!.data)
    }
}

    private fun getPathFromUri(uri: Uri?): String? {
    var path:String?=null
    val projection = arrayOf(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)
    val cursor = contentResolver.query(uri!!, projection, null, null, null)
    if (cursor != null) {
        val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)
        cursor.moveToFirst()
        path=cursor.getString(columnIndex)
    }
    cursor?.close()
    return path
}
