Please try with below line of code

Uri selectedUri;
String fileextension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(selectedUri.toString());
String mimetype= MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(fileextension);

If(mimetype=="image/jpeg")

I have Uri in arraylist, so how to apply this solution? – Monali0521 Jul 19 '21 at 12:57
If you are getting the list of video/image in this way using the ccontent resolver and cursor then please try below way private val PROJECTION = arrayOf(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE) String pictureType = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PROJECTION[0])) IF NOT then try to check when you added or get in list for every item in list – gpuser Jul 19 '21 at 13:09
Thanks. I will apply and let you know if it is working or not. – Monali0521 Jul 20 '21 at 04:12
