@RejoylinLokeshwaran I have seen that and tried Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT .. but the crash is at "bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(context.getContentResolver(), uri);" — Android Developer, Feb 07 '17 at 11:03

add this, intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); intent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(intent, KITKAT_VALUE); — RejoylinLokeshwaran, Feb 07 '17 at 11:18
or ur uri change to input stream, InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri); byte[] inputData = getBytes(is); is.close(); String encoded = Base64.encodeToString(inputData, Base64.DEFAULT); — RejoylinLokeshwaran, Feb 07 '17 at 11:20
@RejoylinLokeshwaran I need to resize the images before converting to base64 — Android Developer, Feb 07 '17 at 15:35

You must check for RunTimePermissions in Marshmallow. check this link . check it for READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

believe me its not working, securityException comes only when your application is not allowing some permission... your exception asking for **android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS** permission.. try for this permission too.. – Chinmay Thoriya Feb 07 '17 at 11:52
If you want to check your app anyway, then in your android device go to setting-> application->_yourapp_->permissions-> allow all the permissions required, **but its not recommended**, you should provide UI for allowing permission from application.. here you can see what permissions are required – Chinmay Thoriya Feb 07 '17 at 11:59
i have added permission in both manifest and at runtime..i already checked that..i am using `bm = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(context.getContentResolver(), uri);` inside service and after i rebbot device if my service starts i get this crash – Android Developer Feb 07 '17 at 15:45
are you saving the permission status in sharedPreferences ? It may happen if you dont save permission status. – Chinmay Thoriya Feb 09 '17 at 08:24
