我也遇到过类似的问题。到目前为止，我知道不同的名字可能会有不同的结果，所以最终得出了这个解决方案。

public String getMimeType(String filePath) {
    String type = null;
    String extension = null;
    int i = filePath.lastIndexOf('.');
    if (i > 0)
        extension = filePath.substring(i+1);
    if (extension != null)
        type = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
    return type;
}  

public static String getFileType(Uri file)
{
    try
    {
        if (file.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT))
            return subStringFromLastMark(SystemMaster.getContentResolver().getType(file), "/");
        else
            return MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(file.toString()).toLowerCase();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

public static String getMimeType(Uri file)
{
    try
    {
        return MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(getFileType(file));
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

public static String subStringFromLastMark(String str,String mark)
{
    int l = str.lastIndexOf(mark);
    int end = str.length();
    if(l == -1)
        return str;

    return str.substring(l + 1, end);
}

有时Jeb和Jens的答案不工作并返回null。在这种情况下，我使用跟随解决方案。文件头通常包含类型签名。我阅读了它，并与已知的签名列表进行了比较。

/**
 *
 * @param is InputStream on start of file. Otherwise signature can not be defined.
 * @return int id of signature or -1, if unknown signature was found. See SIGNATURE_ID_(type) constants to
 *      identify signature by its id.
 * @throws IOException in cases of read errors.
 */
public static int getSignatureIdFromHeader(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    // read signature from head of source and compare with known signatures
    int signatureId = -1;
    int sigCount = SIGNATURES.length;
    int[] byteArray = new int[MAX_SIGNATURE_LENGTH];
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_SIGNATURE_LENGTH; i++) {
        byteArray[i] = is.read();
        builder.append(Integer.toHexString(byteArray[i]));
    }
    if (DEBUG) {
        Log.d(TAG, "head bytes=" + builder.toString());
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_SIGNATURE_LENGTH; i++) {

        // check each bytes with known signatures
        int bytes = byteArray[i];
        int lastSigId = -1;
        int coincidences = 0;

        for (int j = 0; j < sigCount; j++) {
            int[] sig = SIGNATURES[j];

            if (DEBUG) {
                Log.d(TAG, "compare" + i + ": " + Integer.toHexString(bytes) + " with " + sig[i]);
            }
            if (bytes == sig[i]) {
                lastSigId = j;
                coincidences++;
            }
        }

        // signature is unknown
        if (coincidences == 0) {
            break;
        }
        // if first bytes of signature is known we check signature for full coincidence
        if (coincidences == 1) {
            int[] sig = SIGNATURES[lastSigId];
            int sigLength = sig.length;
            boolean isSigKnown = true;
            for (; i < MAX_SIGNATURE_LENGTH && i < sigLength; i++) {
                bytes = byteArray[i];
                if (bytes != sig[i]) {
                    isSigKnown = false;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (isSigKnown) {
                signatureId = lastSigId;
            }
            break;
        }
    }
    return signatureId;
}

signatureId是签名数组中签名的索引。例如,

private static final int[] SIGNATURE_PNG = hexStringToIntArray("89504E470D0A1A0A");
private static final int[] SIGNATURE_JPEG = hexStringToIntArray("FFD8FF");
private static final int[] SIGNATURE_GIF = hexStringToIntArray("474946");

public static final int SIGNATURE_ID_JPEG = 0;
public static final int SIGNATURE_ID_PNG = 1;
public static final int SIGNATURE_ID_GIF = 2;
private static final int[][] SIGNATURES = new int[3][];

static {
    SIGNATURES[SIGNATURE_ID_JPEG] = SIGNATURE_JPEG;
    SIGNATURES[SIGNATURE_ID_PNG] = SIGNATURE_PNG;
    SIGNATURES[SIGNATURE_ID_GIF] = SIGNATURE_GIF;
}

现在我有了文件类型，即使文件的URI没有。接下来我得到mime类型的文件类型。如果你不知道要获取哪种mime类型，你可以在这个表中找到proper。

它适用于许多文件类型。但是对于视频，它不起作用，因为你需要知道视频编解码器来获得mime类型。为了获得视频的mime类型，我使用mediametadatareretrieve。

这里没有一个答案是完美的。以下是一个结合了所有热门答案的最佳元素的答案:

public final class FileUtil {

    // By default, Android doesn't provide support for JSON
    public static final String MIME_TYPE_JSON = "application/json";

    @Nullable
    public static String getMimeType(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull Uri uri) {

        String mimeType = null;
        if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
            ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
            mimeType = cr.getType(uri);
        } else {
            String fileExtension = getExtension(uri.toString());

            if(fileExtension == null){
                return null;
            }

            mimeType = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(
                    fileExtension.toLowerCase());

            if(mimeType == null){
                // Handle the misc file extensions
                return handleMiscFileExtensions(fileExtension);
            }
        }
        return mimeType;
    }

    @Nullable
    private static String getExtension(@Nullable String fileName){

        if(fileName == null || TextUtils.isEmpty(fileName)){
            return null;
        }

        char[] arrayOfFilename = fileName.toCharArray();
        for(int i = arrayOfFilename.length-1; i > 0; i--){
            if(arrayOfFilename[i] == '.'){
                return fileName.substring(i+1, fileName.length());
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Nullable
    private static String handleMiscFileExtensions(@NonNull String extension){

        if(extension.equals("json")){
            return MIME_TYPE_JSON;
        }
        else{
            return null;
        }
    }
}

File file = new File(path, name);

    MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
    int index = file.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1;
    String ext = file.getName().substring(index).toLowerCase();
    String type = mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(ext);

    intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), type);
    try
    {
      context.startActivity(intent);
    }
    catch(ActivityNotFoundException ex)
    {
        ex.printStackTrace();

    }

get file object....
File file = new File(filePath);

then....pass as a parameter to...

getMimeType(file);

...here is 


public String getMimeType(File file) {
        String mimetype = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(file).toString()).toLowerCase());
        if (mimetype == null) {
            return "*/*";
        }
        return mimetype;///return the mimeType
    }
