Unable to find file after recording audio on Android

I want to record my voice, store that to a file, then encode the file to base64 string. So I use the built in recorded using intent like this:

    Intent recSound= new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);
    startActivityForResult(recSound, RESULT_CAPTURE_AUDIO);

The built in audio recorder pops up, and I record my voice, then when I exit the recorded, it goes back to my application calling this function:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if ((resultCode == RESULT_OK) && (requestCode == RESULT_CAPTURE_AUDIO)) {
        uri = data.getData();
        File f = new File(uri.getPath());
        try {
            byte[] bytes;
            bytes = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(f); << < crashes here
            String b64 = Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.URL_SAFE + Base64.NO_WRAP);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The URI looks fine and I can even play back the URI, but when I try to read the bytes from the URI converted to a path so that I can convert it to base64, there is an exception thrown telling that the file doesn't exist.

Here is my manifest, and I also get permission at the beginning of the MainActivity:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

Here is the exception. The exact code is not shown above because it's complicated so it may not match what you see exactly in the exception.

getPath() on a Uri only has meaning if the scheme is file. Your scheme is content.

Use getContentResolver().openInputStream() to get an InputStream on the content. This works for both file and content schemes.
