MY FILE

public class Test extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 0;
private ImageView imageView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

@Override

        Bitmap bitmap = getPath(data.getData());

private Bitmap getPath(Uri uri) {

    String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
    int column_index = cursor

    cursor.moveToFirst();
    String filePath = cursor.getString(column_index);
   // cursor.close();
    // Convert file path into bitmap image using below line.
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);

    return bitmap;

private void selectImage() {

    Intent intent = new Intent();
