app crashes when selecting photo from gallery to upload

Question

In my app, the user can upload the image to the server, but in some devices such as phones of version (4.4.4. 5.0.1 and 5.1.1) or even for all devices when selecting the image from "gallery" the app crashes. But when I choose the option "photos" and select photo and upload it, it works normally, so how can fix this problem and can select the photo from gallery or any album without crashing also upload it without any problem?

Given below is the full code of uploading the image:

public class send extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button buttonChoose;
private Button buttonUpload;

private ImageView imageView;

private EditText editTextName;
private EditText editTextPhone;
private EditText editTextText;
private Bitmap bitmap;

private int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
private static String host=PathConfig.hostName;
private String UPLOAD_URL ="http://"+host+"/upload.php";

private String KEY_IMAGE = "image";
private String KEY_NAME = "name";
private String KEY_PHONE = "phone";
private String KEY_TEXT = "text";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_send);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_send);

    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.arrowb);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); // setting the back arrow in the toolbar
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
    setTitle("إرسال شكوى أو إقتراح");

    buttonChoose = (Button) findViewById(R.id.chooseButton);
    buttonUpload = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sendButton);

    editTextName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
    editTextPhone= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phone);
    editTextText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text);
    imageView  = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView4);


    buttonChoose.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            showFileChooser();
        }
    });
    buttonUpload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            uploadImage();
        }
    });

}
public String getStringImage(Bitmap bmp){
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    if(bmp!=null){
        bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
    }
    byte[] imageBytes = baos.toByteArray();
    String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(imageBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
    return encodedImage;
}

    if (name.matches("") || phone.matches("") || text.matches("")) {
        Toast.makeText(this, " عذرا, لا يمكن ترك حقول فارغة", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    } else {
        //Showing the progress dialog
        final ProgressDialog loading = ProgressDialog.show(this, "جاري الإرسال...", "الرجاء الإنتظار...", false, false);

I think you missing to ask permission.Can you check this is useful for you?

   profile_img.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
                // Marshmallow+
                if (!checkAccessFineLocationPermission() || !checkAccessCoarseLocationPermission() || !checkWriteExternalStoragePermission()) {
                    requestPermission();
                } else {
                    selectImage();
                }
            }else{
                selectImage();
            }

        }
    });
