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

AndroidManifesh.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

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<out String>, 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
    }
}

You can use this method to pick image from gallery  Only images will be displayed   public void pickImage         Intent intent   new Intent Intent ACTION PICK              MediaStore Images Media INTERNAL CONTENT URI       intent setType  image          intent putExtra  crop    true        intent putExtra  scale   true       intent putExtra  outputX   256       intent putExtra  outputY   256       intent putExtra  aspectX   1       intent putExtra  aspectY   1       intent putExtra  return-data   true       startActivityForResult intent  1       and override onActivityResult as       Override     protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data            if  resultCode    RESULT OK                return                    if  requestCode    1                final Bundle extras   data getExtras                if  extras    null                      Get image                 Bitmap newProfilePic   extras getParcelable  data

Just to offer an update to the answer for people with API min 19  per the docs      On Android 4 4  API level 19  and higher  you have the additional option of using the ACTION OPEN DOCUMENT intent  which displays a system-controlled picker UI controlled that allows the user to browse all files that other apps have made available  From this single UI  the user can pick a file from any of the supported apps       On Android 5 0  API level 21  and higher  you can also use the ACTION OPEN DOCUMENT TREE intent  which allows the user to choose a directory for a client app to access    Open files using storage access framework - Android Docs       val intent   Intent Intent ACTION OPEN DOCUMENT       intent type    image         startActivityForResult intent  PICK IMAGE REQUEST CODE

Absolutely  Try this   Intent intent   new Intent    intent setType  image      intent setAction Intent ACTION GET CONTENT   startActivityForResult Intent createChooser intent   Select Picture    PICK IMAGE     Don t forget also to create the constant PICK IMAGE  so you can recognize when the user comes back from the image gallery Activity   public static final int PICK IMAGE   1    Override public void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        if  requestCode    PICK IMAGE              TODO  action           That s how I call the image gallery  Put it in and see if it works for you   EDIT   This brings up the Documents app  To allow the user to also use any gallery apps they might have installed       Intent getIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION GET CONTENT       getIntent setType  image           Intent pickIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION PICK  android provider MediaStore Images Media EXTERNAL CONTENT URI       pickIntent setType  image           Intent chooserIntent   Intent createChooser getIntent   Select Image        chooserIntent putExtra Intent EXTRA INITIAL INTENTS  new Intent    pickIntent         startActivityForResult chooserIntent  PICK IMAGE

Sometimes  you can t get a file from the picture you choose  It s because the choosen one came from Google   Drive  Dropbox or any other provider   The best solution is to ask the system to pick a content via Intent ACTION GET CONTENT and get the result with a content provider   You can follow the code bellow or look at my updated gist   public void pickImage       Intent intent   new Intent Intent ACTION GET CONTENT     intent setType  image        startActivityForResult intent  PICK PHOTO FOR AVATAR       Override public void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data       if  requestCode    PICK PHOTO FOR AVATAR  amp  amp  resultCode    Activity RESULT OK            if  data    null                  Display an error             return                    InputStream inputStream   context getContentResolver   openInputStream data getData               Now you can do whatever you want with your inpustream  save it as file  upload to a server  decode a bitmap
