Did you include the permission in AndroidManifest ? :D

[raghavkuk25]

I know including the permission will fix this but that is not the point. This used to work earlier. Neither is this mentioned that this permission is required :)

[liemlyquan]

Yeah, I did not have this permission so far, and it still works fine. Maybe they are some changes in your code ? : D

[raghavkuk25]

No changes in the code. I just used a different phone. Even in this phone, this happens randomly and not all the time.. It looks like this is the same as #9 but it must not crash.

[clemp6r]

I have a similar problem with a different missing permission: READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/images/media/7429 from pid=13330, uid=10215 requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()

Crash seems to happen on Samsung devices only (4.4, 5.0)

While in manifest I had:
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"

Device: Moto G (4.4.4)

[IlyaEremin]

I have same crash on Samsung only devices without READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

[grocco]

Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.

To deal with this problem, at least when caused by the new runtime permission check required from API 23, you can add something like this in CropImageActivity:

`
@OverRide
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {

super.onCreate(icicle);

setupWindowFlags();

setupViews();

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ) {

        if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
                Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
            Toast.makeText(this,"should show explanation", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    } else {
        loadInput();


        if (rotateBitmap == null) {
            finish();
            return;
        }
        startCrop();
    }

}

`

and then something like

`
@OverRide

public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,

                                       String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {

    switch (requestCode) {

        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                // permission was granted, yay! Do the
                // contacts-related task you need to do.
                loadInput();


                if (rotateBitmap == null) {
                    finish();
                    return;
                }
                startCrop();

            } else {

                // permission denied, boo! Disable the
                // functionality that depends on this permission.
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}
