Java – Images selected from the gallery are not set in ImageView

I’m using a Motorola G3 device with Android 5.1.1 operating system.

When I try to pick a picture from the gallery and set it to ImageView, I get an exception. Here’s my code:

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

String selectedImageUri = getImageFromChooser(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (!selectedImageUri.equals("")) {
            Uri filePath = data.getData();
            try {
                Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImageUri);
                ivAvatar.setImageBitmap(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 120, 120, false)); 
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

} else {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Try Again!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
}

I debugged the code and found that the URI is fine, the problem is initializing the Bitmap object.

Here’s the exception I encountered :

Please anyone help me with this :
