Answer 1

Here is a full example for request permission (if need), pick image from gallery, then convert image to bitmap or file

AndroidManifesh.xml

Activity

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        button_pick_image.setOnClickListener {
            pickImage()
        }
    }

    private fun pickImage() {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            val intent = Intent(
                Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI
            )
            intent.type = "image/*"
            intent.putExtra("crop", "true")
            intent.putExtra("scale", true)
            intent.putExtra("aspectX", 16)
            intent.putExtra("aspectY", 9)
            startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE)
        } else {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                this,
                arrayOf(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE),
                READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE
            )
        }
    }

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE) {
            if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                return
            }
            val uri = data?.data
            if (uri != null) {
                val imageFile = uriToImageFile(uri)
                // todo do something with file
            }
            if (uri != null) {
                val imageBitmap = uriToBitmap(uri)
                // todo do something with bitmap
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array, grantResults: IntArray) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
        when (requestCode) {
            READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE -> {
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    // pick image after request permission success
                    pickImage()
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private fun uriToImageFile(uri: Uri): File? {
        val filePathColumn = arrayOf(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA)
        val cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, filePathColumn, null, null, null)
        if (cursor != null) {
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                val columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0])
                val filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex)
                cursor.close()
                return File(filePath)
            }
            cursor.close()
        }
        return null
    }

    private fun uriToBitmap(uri: Uri): Bitmap {
        return MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.contentResolver, uri)
    }

    companion object {
        const val PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 1000
        const val READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 1001
    }
}
