Question

I'm very new in android. I don't know why I got this null pointer exception.I run my program on API 17 and it was performed without any problems but when I'm running on API 19 I got Null pointer Exception. in my app I just select an image from gallery and image's URI is saved in Database.all this happens in Fragment. manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.sayres.myapplication7">

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

<application
    android:name=".App"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".mvp.view.MainListActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

the exception occur onSelectFromGalleryResult(data); and Bitmap photoBitMap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, 40, 40, true); line

Answer 1

Use the below mentioned updated onSelectFromGalleryResult() method:

public void onSelectFromGalleryResult(Intent data) {
    if (data != null) {
        bm = null;

        try {
            selectedImageUri = data.getData();
            //DON'T USE data.getData() AS IS
            //bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getActivity().getContentResolver(), data.getData());
            //REPLACE IT WITH BELOW
            bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getActivity().getContentResolver(), Uri.parse("file://"+selectedImageUri));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Log.d(TAG, "selectedImageUri " + selectedImageUri);


        Bitmap photoBitMap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, 40, 40, true);
        fragmentEditPicture.setImageBitmap(photoBitMap);
    }

}

Answer 2

finally I fix this problem by this link

the problem was because of Intent in API<19 and >19.
