I am getting error like below..

How can I solve this?

Your bitmap creation seems to fail. Are you sure the path value is correct and pointing to an actual bitmap? — Marc Plano-Lesay

Check again the getBitmap method, you are getting there the null pointer. — Marian Pavel

Error traces show that error occours on

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, option);
Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);

As the documentation of the public static Bitmap decodeFile(String pathName, Options opts) method:

 return The decoded bitmap, or null if the image data could not be
 decoded, or, if opts is non-null, if opts requested only the
 size be returned (in opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight)

This method will return null, if the image data could not be decoded. Note logs like E/BitmapFactory: Unable to decode stream: ... to find out this method why failed. Maybe you provided a wrong path.

The problem in my case was that I was calling 'decodeFile' in background thread which was returning null. Moving that code to main thread fixed the problem.
