Unsupported Uri in ContentResolver when passing Uri returned by Intent

Question

I have an app where the user can add music files by selecting a file or adding all the files in a selected directory into a ListView. When adding a single file, everything is fine, but for directories I'm getting Unsupported Uri. Problem is not related to permissions:

This is intent request:*

private void selectDirectory() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE);

    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_FOLDER);
}

Result handler:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
                             Intent resultData) {

    if (requestCode == REQUEST_FILE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        if (resultData != null) {
            addFile(resultData.getData());
        }
    }

    if (requestCode == REQUEST_FOLDER && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {

        if (resultData != null) {
            addFolder(resultData.getData());
        }
    }
}

private void addFolder(Uri uri) {

    ContentResolver contentResolver = getActivity().getContentResolver();

    if (contentResolver==null) {
        return;
    }

    Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(
            uri, // Uri
            null,
            null,
            null,
            null
    );

    if (cursor != null &&  cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        int Title = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE);

        do {

            String SongTitle = cursor.getString(Title);
            Log.d("addFolder", SongTitle);

        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }

    if (cursor != null) {
        cursor.close();
    }

}

Exception is raised in contentResolver.query. Note that everything is in Fragment Class, not in Activity.

You need first do magic thing:

Uri docUriTree = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(treeUri, DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(treeUri));

Then you can read DocumentsContract.Document values from your Uri.
