Android get image from gallery into ImageView

Question

I'm trying to add a photo from galery to a ImageView but I get this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://media/external/images/media/1 }} to activity {hotMetter.pack/hotMetter.pack.GetPhoto}: java.lang.NullPointerException

This is my code:

      Intent intent = new Intent();
      intent.setType("image/*");
      intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

      startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
Bitmap bitmap=null;
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{

    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
    {
        if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) 
        {
             Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();           
             selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);             
             tv.setText(selectedImagePath);
             img.setImageURI(selectedImageUri); 
         }
    }


 public String getPath(Uri uri) 
    {
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        if (cursor == null) return null;
        int column_index =             cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        String s=cursor.getString(column_index);
        cursor.close();
        return s;
    }

I get the selectedImagePath="mnt/sdcard/DCIM/myimage" but on img.setImageURI(selectedImageUri); i get the error.

I've also used a Bitmap and tried to set the image from SetImageBitmap but i get the same error.

Simple pass Intent first:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);

And you will get picture path on your onActivityResult:

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
            String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            cursor.close();
            ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgView);
            imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
        }
    }
