Instead of using BitmapFactory.decodeFile, try using InputStream:

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

    if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){          
        Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
        InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage);
        Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
