DO it this way... on Button Click check for SDK Version
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23){
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
// Show an expanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
}else{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
}
}else {
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);
}
after that in Override method onRequestPermissionsResult write this code:
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
// contacts-related task you need to do.
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
}
return;
}
After that
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
switch (reqCode) {
case SELECT_PHOTO:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
final InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
contactimage.setImageBitmap(selectedImage);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
