    Works good. But now its useless because when you close app and open it next time, an image is not saved on imageview. Would be nice to get code how to save an image permanently. Thanks,

      You can convert the Uri to String and store it in file shared preferences. And in onCreate convert the stored String to Uri, and set it as imageUri.

      Another way is to store image in app Cache.
