Android Gallery on Android 4.4 (KitKat) returns different URI for Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT

by

Before KitKat (or before the new Gallery) the Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT returned a URI like this

content://media/external/images/media/3951.

Using the ContentResolver and quering for
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA returned the file URL.

In KitKat however the Gallery returns a URI (via “Last”) like this:

content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951

How do I handle this?
