 //convert bitmap to byte
 ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
selectedImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);

Answer 1

Try to use this code hope it help you

Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();

InputStream imageStream = null;
try {
    imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(
            selectedImage);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
try {
    stream.close();
    stream = null;
} catch (IOException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();
}

Answer 2

Try this one.

try {

url = new URL("Image URL");
InputStream is = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
