Loading image selected from internal storage using Uri not working

Question

I tried to select an image from internal storage and load that using imageview. It selects the image but not displaying it.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imgView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
         />

</RelativeLayout>

this is my layout

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.net.Uri;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.io.File;


   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {

    private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 100;
    private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
    private ImageView imageView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        imageView = findViewById(R.id.imgView);
        findViewById(R.id.btn).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                openImageChooser();
            }
        });
    }

    /* Choose an image from Gallery */
    void openImageChooser() {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setType("image/*");
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
    }

    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
                // Get the url from data
                Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();

                if (null != selectedImageUri) {
                    // Get the path from the Uri

                    imageView.setImageURI(null);
                    imageView.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

In this code, after selecting the image it is not displaying it. My permissions are

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>

I figured out that imageview is working by displaying mipmap

imageView.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)

this displays the location of image file(working)

   String s = selectedImageUri.toString();
  Toast.makeText(this,s,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

What the result of the uri.toString() ? if it starts with file:// or content:// you need to call ContentProvider.openInputStream — Marcos Vasconcelos, Jul 27 '18 at 19:17
The image is probably too big to be displayed. Try with a smaller image. — greenapps, Jul 28 '18 at 10:15

You are almost there!

You have successfully chosen the image from the filesystem,
You have verified (by outputting the filename) that you got the correct path to the image.

What you're missing is the way to correctly set the image resource in the ImageView from a path. Try this solution: Show Image View from file path?

Use the below code to set Bitmap images from a file stored inside a SD-Card.

File imgFile = new  File("/sdcard/Images/test_image.jpg");

if(imgFile.exists()){

    Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());

    ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);

    myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

}
