Security exception when opening image via Intent.ACTION_VIEW. lollipop
In my application, I have a list box with images selected from the standard android firepicker (lollipop) Each image has a URI, for example the content: //com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A105628.
Code for selecting an image:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, SELECT_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
By clicking on the image in the header of the list with ACTION_VIEW activated. And view apps with error.
Code to view the image:
Intent viewIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
viewIntent.setDataAndType(finalPhoto, "image/*");
startActivity(viewIntent);
An exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider com.android.providers.media.MediaDocumentsProvider from ProcessRecord{247dd26c 18416:com.google.android.apps.plus/u0a51} (pid=18416, uid=10051) requires android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS or android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS

I read about SAF, is it possible to delegate a granted permission from my application to another application (viewer)?
PS: I've seen this workaround. Android KitKat securityException when trying to read from MediaStore

You have to add this to your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"/>
After that it should work
Edit
Perhaps you can take a look at this answer: fooobar.com/questions/379830 / ...
PS Did the answer to the Security Kit for Android KitKat query help you?

Use this code for openGallery
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, REQUEST_CODE_GALLERY);
