Answer 1

You must check for RunTimePermissions in Marshmallow. check this link . check it for READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

Answer 2

public void chooseImage() {
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.setType("image/*");
    //i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);

    //ActivityResultLauncher for opening the gallery
    getImageFromGallery.launch(i);

}

That chooseImage() is a function to open the gallery. If you have checked that you have the permission READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE already requested and accepted by the user, try changing or commenting i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT) to i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT).
