Try to use this code hope it help you

Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();

InputStream imageStream = null;
try {
    imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(
            selectedImage);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
try {
    stream.close();
    stream = null;
} catch (IOException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();
}
