You can use Uri of images to store their location in MainActivity.java

ArrayList Images = new ArrayList<>();
...
...


public void PickImagesIntent(){
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGES);
}

   
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGES) {
            if (data.getClipData() != null) {
                ClipData mClipData = data.getClipData();
                for (int i = 0; i < mClipData.getItemCount(); i++) {
                    ClipData.Item item = mClipData.getItemAt(i);
                    Uri imageUri = item.getUri();
                    Images.add(imageUri);
                }
            } else if (data.getData() != null) {
                Uri imageUri = data.getData();
                Images.add(uri);
            }
        }
    }
}

You can send it to another class(ViewImage.java) in form of string

Intent ImageIntent = new Intent(this,ViewImage.class);
ImageIntent.putExtra("imageUri",Images.get(i).toString());
stratActivity(ImageIntent);

To receive it in another class(ViewImage.java)

Intent intent = getIntent();
String imageUriString = intent.getStringExtra("imageUri");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(imageUriSrting);

To set it to ImageView

ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(##id##);
imageView.setImageURI(uri);
