Answer 1

scannedImageViewis null, you have to bind the view before use it. Replce with the id that your ImageView has in the XML. Look at the OnCreate() method:

package com.example.documentscanner;

import android.Manifest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.scanlibrary.ScanActivity;
import com.scanlibrary.ScanConstants;

import java.io.IOException;

public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final int PERMISSION_CODE = 1000;
    ImageView scannedImageView = null;

    int REQUEST_CODE = 99;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
    
        //REPLACE WITH YOUR ID
        scannedImageView = findViewById(R.id.YourId);
    }


    public void checkCamera(View v) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.CAMERA) ==
                    PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED || checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) ==
                    PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
                String[] permission = {Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
                requestPermissions(permission, PERMISSION_CODE);
            } else {
                openCamera();
            }

        } else {
            openCamera();

        }

    }

    public void checkGallery(View v){
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M){
            if(checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) ==
                    PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED || checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) ==
                    PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED){
               String[] permission = {Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
               requestPermissions(permission, PERMISSION_CODE);
            } else {
                openGallery();
            }
        } else
        {
            openGallery();
        }
    }


    public void openCamera(){

        int preference = ScanConstants.OPEN_CAMERA;
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, ScanActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra(ScanConstants.OPEN_INTENT_PREFERENCE, preference);
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);

    }

    public void openGallery(){

        int preference = ScanConstants.OPEN_MEDIA;

        intent.putExtra(ScanConstants.OPEN_INTENT_PREFERENCE, preference);
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            Uri uri = data.getExtras().getParcelable(ScanConstants.SCANNED_RESULT);
            Bitmap bitmap = null;
            try {
                bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
                getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);
                scannedImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}
